Game Face

A Forbidden Workplace Hockey Romance Novella

Margot Avila shoots the truth for a living. Hired to film a season-long series on a hockey team the city has stopped believing in, she aims her camera at the one man who guards the room like it is the last honest place left. The captain.

Dane Pelletier learned young what a lens does to a private life. He has spent his career keeping the camera off the things that matter most. His late father's rink. The bad knee. The contract year that could end all of it. The last thing he needs is a content coordinator with a gift for finding the soft spot in a hard man.

The job throws them together. The rule between a captain and a staffer is the only line still holding. Then nine seconds of footage detonate everything they have protected, and the only way out is the truth, on the record.

A forbidden workplace hockey romance. Steamy, slow burn, and worth every degree.

Overtime

A One-Night-Stand-to-More Hockey Romance Novella

Sloane Carney built her event-planning firm out of a storage unit and one hard rule. Never let anyone put their name on her work again.

Linc Foster is the team's loudest laugh and the answer to nobody's question. Off the ice he learns names, carries tables, and reads a room better than anyone in the building. The one woman who ever asked what he loved walked out before sunrise. Now she runs his arena, and he has decided to earn her in daylight.

Their deal has rules. Nobody can know. It never touches the rink. It ends when the gala closes out.

Steamy, warm, and full of heart, OVERTIME is a hockey romance about being chosen out loud.

A Fake-Dating Hockey Romance Novella

They built a fake romance to save his career. Neither of them planned to mean it.

Anders Lund says almost nothing, which is exactly why a doctored eleven-second clip can turn a whole city against him overnight. Romy Castillo fixes problems like his for a living, and she keeps one rule above all the others. The strategist never enters the story.

Then a stranger photographs her laughing in a back-booth supper club, her hand on his sleeve, his iceman face caught mid-almost-smile, and the internet decides the villain has a girlfriend. The numbers are a small miracle. So Romy drafts a term sheet, sets an end date, and starts a relationship that was never supposed to be real.

The schedule is fake. The cameras are fake. The way he learns her coffee order is not.

A steamy, sharp-witted hockey romance about being wanted for who you actually are, not the version that sells.

Offside

A Brother's-Best-Friend Hockey Romance Novella

She has one rule. Everything anyone knows about her arrives from her own mouth. Then her brother's best friend walks into her rink and stays.

Birdie Lawson runs a youth hockey program out of a county barn and a folding-table budget, and she does not need rescuing. Mikko Rautio is the Norsemen's silent goalie, sent to volunteer with her mites for a season. He fixes her broken bench gate. He learns her coffee order. He moves a frightened kid two inches and changes her whole game.

The trouble is whose best friend he is. The trouble is the trade deadline circling his expiring contract, and her brother, who thinks he holds a vote on her life.

Loving Mikko in daylight means surviving the deadline, the gossip, and the one rule she swore she would never break again. Birdie has been someone's secret before. Not again.

With Birdie Lawson, it is the whole story or nothing.

Home Ice

A Rivals-to-Lovers Hockey Romance Novella

She keeps every exit clear. It is the only way a woman like her has ever stayed her own.

Then a sponsor hangs her face the same size as his on the side of the arena, and the man across the red line will not stop looking like he means it.

Frankie Duval is one goal from her league's scoring record and one run from the championship she has chased her whole life. The campaign needs a rivalry, and Roman Stahl plays the villain for a living, all marquee out front and a vault behind it. What the campaign does not know is the dawn ice, the one hour the cameras sleep, where two people sold to a city as enemies make each other better and stop pretending it is only hockey.

Loving him in daylight would fold her record into the human-interest layer of his story. Frankie has been made smaller before. Never again.

Two big lives. One building. Nobody is the sidebar.
