Scored by the Captain : A Steamy Enemies to Lovers Small Town Hockey Romance (Blackwood Bay Hockey #2)

Marcus Rodriguez doesn't trust reporters. Not after one destroyed his life with leaked photos and shattered promises.

So when ambitious ESPN journalist Elena Walsh arrives to cover his championship team, he's ready for war. She's everything he expects—sharp, determined, hungry for the story that will make her career.

What he doesn't expect is her genuine laugh over midnight coffee. Her fierce protection of his privacy when her editor demands a tell-all exposé. The way she chooses his trust over her dream job.

Elena came to Blackwood Bay for a simple sports feature. Instead, she found a man whose guarded heart calls to something deep inside her soul.

Marcus is everything she shouldn't want—private, protective, and absolutely off-limits. But when he defends her honor on the ice, when he looks at her like she's worth every risk, she realizes some stories are worth more than any byline.

Their chemistry is undeniable. Their connection runs deeper than attraction.

But can a reporter and a hockey captain build something real when the world is watching? When trust feels impossible and love demands everything?

In a small town where everyone knows your business, some secrets can't stay hidden. Some hearts refuse to stay protected.

When Elena must choose between the career-making story and the man she's falling for, which will she pick?

And when Marcus's past threatens to destroy their future, will love be enough to keep them together?
