USA TODAY bestselling author, NHL insider, and TikTok influencer Lexi LaFleur Brown is back with another tropeβpacked, spicy, hockeyβaccurate rom com!
Don't get madβget even.
A grudge hates to see Olivia Hinckley coming. Years ago, a dirty hit ended her late fatherβs NHL career with the Minnesota Freeze. It was never fair that Erik Parker walked away with little more than a penalty, but itβs worse that her father's rival is now up for Hall of Fame induction. On top of that, Erik's sonβhockeyβs golden boy, Brodyβjust signed on to play for the Freeze. Determined to dismantle the Parker legacy, Olivia enacts a revenge plot that has her donning the Freezeβs mascot costume to gain intel on the Parkers. And she canβt help but mess with Brodyβs gameplayβand his heart for good measure. After all, whatβs a little fake dating between enemies?
Brody Parker only ever wanted to play hockey for fun, but the pressure of being part of hockeyβs βFirst Familyβ has him dodging nepotism allegations along with high sticks. Erik might act like Father of the Year when the cameras are on, but behind closed doors, Brody struggles with his fatherβs impossible expectations. Preserving Erikβs image is a fullβtime job, but lucky for Brody, his new connection with Olivia is a welcome (spicy) distraction.
When Brody finally opens up to Olivia, she never expected sheβd pity a Parker for anything. Suddenly, she wants to protect her onceβenemy. The romantic feelings she faked are now unexpectedly real, but after leading Brody on for so long, can she keep the lies and the truth straight before she accidentally blows up his whole life?
