Pucked by the Coach: A Steamy Small Town Hockey Romance With Forbidden Workplace Love And Second Chances (Blackwood Bay Hockey #1)

Maya Torres came to Blackwood Bay to rebuild her shattered career—not to fall for the devastatingly handsome hockey coach who's completely off-limits.

After fleeing a harassment scandal that nearly destroyed her, Maya thought a quiet job as athletic trainer for a small-town team would be the perfect fresh start. Safe. Simple. Professional.

She didn't count on Jake Morrison.

The former pro player turned head coach is everything she shouldn't want—brooding, protective, and nursing wounds from his own devastating betrayal. When his ex-fiancée left him for a professional player, Jake learned that mixing business with pleasure only leads to heartbreak.

But the chemistry crackling between them on the ice is impossible to ignore.

Stolen glances during practice become stolen kisses after hours. Professional boundaries blur when Jake's protective instincts clash with Maya's fierce independence. Every touch is forbidden, every moment together a risk they can't afford to take.

When Maya's past comes calling, demanding she choose between justice and the life she's building in Blackwood Bay, everything threatens to shatter. Jake has already been abandoned once by someone who chose a bigger stage over small-town love.

Can Maya prove she's nothing like the woman who broke his heart? Or will her secrets destroy their chance at happiness before it truly begins?

In a town where everyone knows your business and second chances are earned on thin ice, some risks are worth taking...

But what happens when love means choosing between your past and your future?
