Face Off

Emmy Hartwell has spent years fighting for her chance to play in the NHL, and now that she’s finally made the roster of the struggling DC Stars, she’s determined to prove she belongs. The only problem is Maverick Miller, the team’s star player and captain, who seems to get under her skin every time they’re on the ice together.

Maverick knows the team needs to turn things around, and keeping the fiery new winger focused should be simple—if they could stop arguing long enough to get through a practice.

When their rivalry turns into unexpected chemistry, they agree to keep things casual and strictly temporary. But one night quickly becomes more, and their arrangement keeps getting harder to control. As the season heats up, Emmy and Maverick have to figure out whether they can keep their feelings off the ice—and whether their biggest rivalry could become their best match.

Perfect for readers who enjoy: hockey romance, rivals-to-lovers, teammates, friends-with-benefits, forced proximity, workplace romance, and spicy chemistry.
