Pinch

Lane “Gavin” Knight is the hottest new defenseman for the LA Champions hockey team. He’s my cousin Maverick’s best friend, and by trick of fate, my new roommate. But just because he caught me when I fell off the “Welcome Back” parade float in my International Princess crown doesn’t mean he’s a hero. I know him better than that. Hayden “Haddy” Bradford is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. She’s a princess, a brilliant scientist… And she hates me. Until a purple-drink-fueled Halloween hook-up changes both of our lives. It’s something I’ve wanted a long time, but I never dreamed I’d have it with her. Still, I’m the master of high-risk, high-reward plays, and I’ll do what it takes to show her I’m not the man she thinks I am. I’m there for her every step of the way, supporting, holding her hand, doing my best to show her my true self. I told her I’d catch her when she falls, but no one is catching me—and I’m falling fast. I’m headed straight into the offensive zone. Everything I want is at stake, but I’m committed to this puck battle, and I intend to win. (Pinch is a hockey romance with enemies to lovers, roommates to lovers, a cocky bad-boy Hero, a sassy STEM/pageant-princess FMC, an accidental pregnancy, foster dogs, family, and loads of spicy fun. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)
