Behind the Net When you're hired as a live-in assistant for your high school crush—a grumpy, irritatingly hot NHL goalie—keeping things professional seems like the only smart move after your ex devastated your music career. But Jamie Streicher is nothing like the arrogant jerk she expected; beneath his prickly exterior is someone surprisingly protective and sweet, and his competitive streak means he's determined to help her rediscover the creative spark she lost. As she finds herself back on stage writing music, wearing his jersey to games, and falling impossibly hard, she has to decide if risking her heart on someone who could break it is worth the chance at real love. This grumpy-sunshine slow burn is packed with steam, heart, and the kind of swoony hockey romance that'll have you cheering both on and off the ice!
