The Hard Hitter: A Wedding Planner Hockey Romance (Ice Kings #1)
Matija Baric
Mark "Tank" Tankowski is a simple man. He hits people on the ice, protects his goalie, and goes home to his quiet cabin. He doesn't do drama. He doesn't do chaos. And he definitely doesn't do weddings.
But when his best friend Carter gets married, Tank is on Best Man duty. That means dealing with the Maid of Honor—who also happens to be the wedding planner from hell.
Sofia Rossi is a tornado in a sundress. She’s loud, colorful, and obsessed with creating the perfect "vibe." She thinks Tank is a grumpy neanderthal. He thinks she’s a walking headache.
But when Sofia needs a date to her ex-boyfriend’s engagement party to save face, Tank surprises everyone by stepping up.
Suddenly, the "Hard Hitter" is playing the role of the perfect boyfriend. He’s opening doors, buying flowers, and looking at her in a way that makes her knees weak.
As the wedding stress mounts and their fake dates turn into late-night confessions, Sofia realizes that the man she thought was a brute might just be the softest place to land.
But Tank has a secret—one that could ruin his career and his chance at happiness. Can Sofia break through his defenses before the final buzzer sounds?
The Hard Hitter is a standalone hockey romance featuring a grumpy defenseman, a sunshine wedding planner, and a love story that hits you right in the feels. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
