The Last Play That Counts: A Grumpy/Sunshine Sapphic Sports Romance

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

She's the unbreakable wall in the net. She's the chaotic spark on the ice. Together, they're about to risk it all.


Zara Marks is the Wall. Stoic, unflappable, and one of the most heavily guarded goalies in the league, she doesn't do feelings and she definitely doesn't do distractions. She has enough on her plate keeping her defenses high, her family afloat, and her private life strictly out of the press.


Lena Cruz is a tornado of vibrant energy, warm smiles, and wild curls. Freshly traded from Minnesota and secretly terrified that she's always 'too much' for everyone around her, the Cuban-American forward just wants to play hockey and finally find a place she belongs.


They are total opposites. But when the quiet of a midnight ice rink gives way to undeniable chemistry, the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore. From sharp locker-room banter to a breathless night in a Montreal hotel room, Zara's carefully constructed defenses begin to crumble.


But the puck doesn't care about feelings, and the realities of professional sports, the threat of being outed, and heavy family burdens are waiting off the ice. Zara will have to decide if she's willing to take off her armor for good—and realize that the only save that ever mattered was letting Lena in.


The Last Play That Counts is a high-heat, opposites-attract sapphic hockey romance. It features explicit sexual content, deep emotional stakes, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
