He's a professional hockey player with a filthy mouth, a goofy smile, and absolutely no intention of giving up on the one woman who keeps turning him down.

Jess Canning is determined to prove she's finally got her life together.

After years of feeling like the family screw-up, she's been given the ultimate responsibility: organizing her brother's wedding for a guest list packed with professional hockey stars.

Everything needs to be perfect.

And there's one person who could ruin it all.

Blake Riley.

Professional hockey player. Shameless flirt. Giant manchild. And the devastatingly attractive best man Jess made the mistake of hooking up with last spring.

One unforgettable night was supposed to be enough.

Jess has no intention of repeating it, especially when she's trying to convince her family—and herself—that she's ready to take life seriously.

Unfortunately, Blake has other plans.

To Blake, being the best man while Jess serves as maid of honor feels like fate handing him the perfect opportunity.

Because Blake doesn't want another hookup. He wants Jess.

Sure, he's loud, ridiculous, and constantly making inappropriate jokes, but beneath his playful personality is a loyal, caring man who's far more serious about Jess than she realizes.

And he's determined to prove it.

As wedding festivities force them together, their undeniable chemistry becomes harder to resist, and Jess begins discovering there's more to Blake than his reputation suggests.

But falling for a professional hockey player who seems incapable of taking anything seriously?

That's exactly the kind of complication Jess promised herself she'd avoid.

Blake, however, knows something she doesn't.

They're already more than friends. He's just waiting for her to figure it out.

Funny, steamy, and packed with heart, Good Boy delivers a friends-with-benefits hockey romance filled with irresistible banter, a sunshine hockey player, a guarded heroine, and a hero who falls first and refuses to give up on the woman he wants.
