Maple Falls Lumberjacks Hockey #5
Slapshot to My Heart
He doesn’t say much, but when he looks at her, it’s like she’s the only thing that’s ever made sense.
A heart-melting instalove hockey romance where one look changes everything and fate doesn’t wait around.
Nora Wilder isn’t looking for love. She’s too focused on launching her dream physical therapy clinic in small-town Maple Falls, where everyone knows your business and your coffee order. She likes plans, structure, and keeping her heart right where it’s safe.
Then Ethan Ashford walks into her office. Quiet, brooding, and painfully gorgeous, the pro hockey defenseman isn’t used to being seen off the ice. Until Nora. The second their eyes meet, something shifts. Something real. Something immediate.
He’s the kind of man who doesn’t waste words, but when he looks at Nora, it’s with the weight of everything he’s never said. She’s the only one who sees through the armor, and the only one who makes him want to stay. In a town where gossip spreads faster than wildfire, Nora and Ethan’s connection ignites like a spark to kindling. Instant. Intense. Undeniable. But with their worlds pulling in opposite directions, and past scars threatening to undo what’s barely begun, they’ll have to choose. Fight for something that feels like forever … or walk away before it ever really starts.
In Maple Falls, love shows up without warning. Ready or not.
If you love protective heroes, fierce heroines, and instant chemistry that turns into forever, this hockey romance is for you.
