About this book

When Olympic hopeful Gigi Graham needs to sharpen her game to make the national team, the last person she wants help from is Luke Ryder—the infuriatingly sexy, grumpy new co-captain of the men's hockey team who also happens to be her father's ideal coaching candidate. But Luke has his own reasons for wanting this deal: help Gigi, earn some goodwill with her legendary dad, and maybe salvage his reputation after a disastrous first impression. What should be a straightforward training arrangement quickly becomes complicated when the chemistry between them turns undeniable, forcing them both to navigate a dangerous attraction while chasing their biggest dreams. This is a deliciously tense hockey romance that perfectly balances competitive ambition, family legacy, and the electric tension of two people determined not to fall for each other—even as they absolutely might.

chargeddefiantyearningcompetitiveelectric

Competitive energy meets slow-burn tension—think indie pop swagger mixed with sensual R&B undertones. Confident, defiant vocals over catchy beats. Moments of vulnerability breaking through the attitude. Contemporary, flirty, with just enough edge to feel like a challenge worth fighting for.
