BLURB
She’s starting fresh with a new hockey job to steady her life. He’s inches from the Cup—no distractions… until she cracks his perfect plan.
Mel Boyd can wrangle logistics. What she can’t file away is the family drama that spirals into a fake relationship with the Tahoe West Panthers’ coach.
Yep. That happened.
And she should avoid him. He sees her in ways she’s not ready for.
But he’s also the ankle-saving meet-cute stuck in her head, fizzing through her.
Sean Murphy doesn’t do messy. Not mid-playoffs. Not with the team’s new hire.
One small favor, her sass getting under his skin… It was supposed to be neat, temporary, strictly for optics. Then it blows up into a PR storm, and the tidy playbook in his head goes flying.
Now the man who sets the rules is breaking one for her, and the season he thought he could control is colliding with the woman he kissed.
Between game plans, a one-bed situation, and a meddling team, sparks fly past defenses. The real risk isn’t losing the championship—it’s falling… and there’s no spreadsheet for that.
