SPENCER KAUFMAN: Center 6'1" 205 lbs 36 yrs old from Lampasas, TexasWhen I first laced up my skates for the NHL, I vowed to give the game my all-150%. I've done that. Little did I know, but they would ask more from me than merely my skill on the ice. The team saw something in me beyond my slapshot and asked me to captain the ship. It's a badge of honor I've worn with pride, steering us to a Stanley Cup victory.Now, as we navigate the treacherous waters of a losing streak, I find myself at the helm, grappling with my own fears. I've let the team down, even if they haven't noticed. With the new season kicking off, the spotlight is on me, and rightfully so. I'm ready to face the music, even if it's a symphony of criticism.But there's one thing I can't deal with-her. She appeared out of the blue, catching me completely off guard. And here's the kicker: now that I've got her, I refuse to let her go. New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nicole Edwards spends her days stringing words together to make complete sentences. Sometimes not. Her best friend is coffee, and she has a love/hate relationship with sarcasm. She's been accused of having a filthy imagination, which she admits is true.Nicole lives in the suburbs of Austin, Texas. She proudly claims one husband, three grown children, and three bosses (better known as the dogs). When she isn't writing, watching football or hockey, or keeping her bosses happy, you can probably find her with a book in hand. Hockey, anyone?
