No Contact Rule
This was supposed to be our fresh start. But for the grumpy head coach, I became the one thing he couldn’t afford to lose.
Moving to the small town of Chilmore was supposed to help me escape the weight of my grief. Selling my parents’ house, buying a ridiculous sports car, and landing my dream job as the Snow Leopards’ team nutritionist… it was all part of the plan to outrun the pain of losing my mom.
And it was working.
Until Nico Ashford came crashing into my life.
The older, grumpy, devastatingly gorgeous head coach doesn’t just walk into a room… he owns it. And when those devastating blue eyes land on me? It’s like he sees every crack I’ve been hiding for too long.
He’s the kind of man I should stay far away from. Closed off. Experienced. And, oh yeah, my boss.
But then Nico starts joining me on my long, late-night drives, talking to me like he knows exactly what it’s like to lose something you love. He shows up for sneaky dinners, just to make sure I’m not alone. And when he kisses me? It’s like he’s piecing me back together, one stolen moment at a time.
Now the Snow Leopards are heading to the playoffs, and Nico’s pulling away. He says his past is too dark and his focus has to stay on the team. But he doesn’t understand… I’ve already lost so much. If he walks away now? I don’t know if my heart will survive it.
Because Nico Ashford isn’t just my fresh start.
He’s the only future I want.
No Contact Rule is an age-gap hockey romance about a forbidden grumpy head coach, the wounded woman who melts his icy exterior, and a love story packed with high heat, big emotions, and the kind of happily-ever-after that’ll leave you swooning.

Loved this!
I loved this story of Nico and Willa! The attraction is real! These two come together like magnets. Both have trauma in their past. Willa finds her light in Nico. Nico does the same but tries to push her away. Thankfully, Delaney talks to him and starts to open his eyes to what he can have, and what he can lose. I love these two together. They heal each other. I love this book and series. I highly recommend! I can't wait for Gabe and Quinn's story!

Another great Snow Leopards hockey adventure. This time Nico a former NHL hockey player who lost his career finds love. Unfortunately, his love interest is Willa the nutritionist for the team and they have a no contact rule for staff. Initially they try to unsuccessfully avoid each other then sneak around. When they are finally outed everyone knows it! Willa helps bring Nico’s self esteem up.
