Pucking the Center
He’s the arrogant, infuriating star player my father is killing himself to coach. And I’m the daughter who’s about to make him my personal penalty box.
Hank "Hollywood" Rowan is the kind of hockey player who makes headlines for all the wrong reasons. He’s cocky, reckless, and coasts on a talent that’s actively stressing my father—his new coach—into an early grave.
“He’s a walking hockey metaphor—all talent, no effort. And I refuse to let him be the downfall of my family.”
My plan is keep my head down, my mouth shut, and count the seconds until he’s someone else’s problem.
But when a heated confrontation forces me to see the man behind the superstar facade, my entire game plan shatters. I see the carefully hidden injury he’s terrified will end his career. I see the vulnerability he masks with a panty-melting smirk.
Worst of all? I see the way he looks at me—like I’m the only thing worth playing for.
Falling for Hank Rowan isn't just a bad idea; it's a betrayal of the man I love most. But he’s not just breaking down my defenses; he's starting to feel like the only one who truly sees me at all. And in a world of secrets and high-stakes pressure, he might be the one risk I’m willing to take.
Pucking the Center is a steamy, standalone coach's daughter, enemies-to-lovers hockey romance with a guaranteed HEA. If you love a grumpy, book-smart heroine and a cocky-but-secretly-wounded hero, you'll devour Hank and Jenny's story.
