In the Slot: A Hockey Goalie, Marriage of Convenience Romance (Connecticut Commodores #5)

A Hockey Goalie, Marriage of Convenience Romance.

The The Area Directly In Front of the Goalie on a Hockey Rink. The Prime Scoring Zone.

It was supposed to be a wild hookup at a party. How the hell did I end up married to a hockey player? And what on Earth are we supposed to do now?

Lucas Gagnon spun me sideways from the moment we met. His quiet patience—and his quirky goalie superstitions—completely fascinated me. This man looked past my total failure at small talk and social cues. He just smiled and suggested I do exactly what was on my mind.

Turns out, what was on my mind involved a serious lack of clothing and the sofa in his living room.

How that turned into a whirlwind marriage three months later, I’m still trying to figure out. But if the choice was to say “I do” or never see him again? Then yeah, I definitely do.

Does he? Or am I a fool for thinking this sham marriage has led to a real connection?


A few months into my first season with the Connecticut Commodores, I met the most unique, enigmatic woman. I’m a goalie, but Neve Moon put me right in the slot. I had one chance to shoot my shot and hope I got lucky enough to score.

Cue the red light, baby. Because score, we did.

At first, it was just random hookups and late-night talks. But just as we were starting to figure each other out, family obligations crashed the party. My position as the younger brother in a powerful dynasty always gave me freedom—until now. Suddenly, my mother wants me married, and she’s lined up a roster of “suitable” women. But all I want is Neve.

And I got her. Somehow, she said yes to helping me escape an arranged marriage. She said yes to me.

I know we rushed into this. I know this is supposed to be temporary—a sham marriage that we’ll annul in a few weeks.

But every day I spend with her, I wish I could do things over. Take it slow. Do it right. Show her that I can be just as committed in love as I am on the ice.

I'd give everything to the Commodores.
But I want to give everything to Neve, too.

Is a marriage of convenience the start of true love? Or will disaster and duties put Neve & Lucas on ice? Buy now and find out!
