From bestselling indie romance author Willa Gray comes a spicy, emotionally charged hockey romance about unexpected love, letting go of your fears and finding your person. Prepare to meet your newest obsession: a hockey hero who’s officially entered his lover-boy era.

She’s about to proposition a famous hockey player . . .

After the day she’s had, Eleanor Ford is ready to lose herself in a drink or two – and maybe the hot stranger watching her from across the bar. New to town and working long hours as an ER nurse, she’s looking to keep things simple. No attachments. No complications. And absolutely no athletes.

. . . and she has no idea.

At thirty-six, pro hockey veteran Matthew Anderson should be focused on proving he has one more season in him. Instead, he’s consumed by the woman who rocked his world for one night, then sent him packing without even a name.

When their paths cross again, Matt refuses to let Ellie slip away twice and agrees to her proposal of a friends-with-benefits arrangement. But while she’s determined to keep hockey players, and love, firmly off-limits, Matt is ready to show her that there’s more to him than the jersey he wears.

Can Matt prove he’s endgame material? Or will his first love – hockey – ruin everything?

Tropes: Acts of service love language, age-gap romance, cinamon roll MMC, sunshine FMC (with cloudy days). f*ck buddies, he falls first.
