About this listen
What happens when my niece's new nanny turns out to be my dream girl, only for me to find out she's married?
Dakota
I need financial freedom so I can finally leave my husband. But when my new employer's twin brother makes it his mission to woo me, I quickly realize I'm in way over my head.
Carson Wilder was the one thing I didn't see coming. When my world falls apart and I suddenly find myself without a place to live, the golden retriever of a man insists I move in with him. Seeing Carson in passing is one thing. Living with him? It's an all-consuming temptation.
It doesn't take long for him to become my best friend—the person I choose to lean on and confide in. But I'm seven years older than him, and I refuse to be the reason his golden boy image becomes tainted, especially when my past threatens to take away everything he's worked for.
Carson
All I've ever wanted to do was play in the NHL. Just when I get my chance to prove myself on the ice, fate body checks me with a plot twist.
I was captivated by Dakota Meyer's eyes—the most ridiculous shade of emerald, by the way—the moment they first locked with mine. My life changed for the better in an instant, and suddenly, my sole purpose wasn't just hockey.
I may be the rookie falling for the older woman living across the hall, but I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks. Dakota has seen me on my darkest days and has still chosen me repeatedly.
I don't blame her for keeping her walls up and her heart guarded after all she's been through. But once I've set my mind to something, there's no stopping me, and I've decided she's it for me... now I just need to show her what love should be.
What It Should Be is a spicy romance featuring a golden boy hockey player and the woman who knocks him off his feet. Join Dakota and Carson on their journey through friendship, adventure, love, and healing.

Story
She's the definition of don’t even think about it. Look up off-limits in the dictionary, and not only is her name there—it’s underlined, bolded, and signed by her dad. And yet, here I am. Kissing my coach’s daughter against a wall where anyone could see us. Easily the dumbest thing I’ve ever done. Starting a fight on the ice? Sure. Taking a slapshot to the ribs and playing through it? Not my brightest moment. But this? It’s the kind of mistake that could end me. And the craziest part? I’d do it again. Because if Sophie Novak is a mistake… She’s the only one I ever want to make.

In high school, I hated my brother’s best friend. The fact that he was also my boyfriend’s best friend further complicated things. Angry and scowling was his default mode around me. Even before the accident—our hate was mutual. It’s been more than a decade since I’ve been home, since I’ve seen him. But my new life in Los Angeles just imploded, and I have nowhere else to go.
