Boston Bucks (Books 7-9)

Stick Break: After I won a TV singing competition and my ex publicly humiliated me to get ahead, I needed to escape reality. Sure, breaking into an old friend’s beachside cottage wasn’t my best idea, but what’s a girl to do? When the NHL’s biggest player—on and off the ice—finds me in his bed, I expect him to kick me out. When he doesn’t, a fragile truce is born. Soon enough, we’re living in our own fairy tale bubble, talking and sharing everything—just not the truth. As the lazy days of summer stretch on, I begin to believe we might be the only real thing in a world full of lies. Until his past catches up to him.

Peppermint Stick: After a Thanksgiving PR disaster went viral, I’m back in Snowberry Falls, Vermont, running the town’s Christmas festival—and praying it saves my career. Then my ex shows up—parading his influencer fiancée—and I need a win. Fast. Enter Penn Radford: Boston Bucks enforcer, tabloid magnet, and currently stranded without a room at the fully booked inn. I know his type. Loud, flashy, allergic to shirts…and the guy who punched mall Santa. My solution? Team up. Fake a holiday romance. Nail the festival. Fix his image. Easy. But the mistletoe buzzer won’t quit, and those pretend kisses? They feel way too real. And when my past comes back swinging, I have to figure out if Penn is the real deal…or just another mistake wrapped in peppermint sheets.
