Pucked Hockey: A Sports Romance Series
Amber Heart
Oliver Sterling is a machine. He is the Captain of the North Haven Huskies, a top-five NHL draft prospect, and the wealthiest guy on campus. He speaks in stats, eats in macros, and views emotions as "inefficiencies." He is also the Resident Advisor who fined me three times for being too loud. He hates my yellow coat. He hates my mess. And he definitely hates me.
I’m Joy Wetherby. I’m broke, I’m stressed, and I’m holding onto my scholarship by a thread. My life is flour, sugar, and trying to stay invisible to the elite athletes who run this school. The last thing I need is to be stranded in their multi-million dollar dorm during the blizzard of the century.
But when my car dies and the power goes out, I’m trapped.
Just me.
Oliver.
A bottle of whiskey.
And a fireplace that is barely keeping us warm.
I thought he was a robot. But when the lights go out, the Ice King melts. I see the scars on his ribs and the hunger in his grey eyes. We make a deal to survive the storm, but lines are crossed. Clothes are shed. And the man who calls me a "liability" shows me exactly why he’s the best defenseman in the league.
We agreed it was just for the storm. But when the snow clears, the secret we share threatens to destroy his draft dreams and my future.
He has to choose: The Legacy he was born for... or the Baker who taught him how to feel.
HE’S THE TEAM’S MOST VIOLENT WEAPON. I’M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN BENCH HIM.
Juan "The Reaper" Rivera.
He’s six-foot-four of scarred muscle, bad attitude, and lethal hockey talent. He’s the guy on campus everyone fears—including me. He’s also failing the one class he needs to keep his scholarship: Bio-Ethics.
And unfortunately for him, I’m the T.A. holding the grade book.
I should hate him. He humiliated me in front of two hundred students. He calls me "Princess" like it’s a slur. He represents everything about my father’s hockey program that I despise.
But when the Head Coach—my stepfather—forces us into a mandatory tutoring arrangement, I see something behind the Reaper’s dead eyes. I see a man desperate to save his brother. A man who is starving for someone to see him, not just the jersey.
Natalie Vance.
She’s the Ice Princess. Perfect hair, perfect grades, perfect armor. She thinks she’s safe in her ivory tower.
But when we’re locked in that glass-walled study room, the air changes. The hate turns into heat so thick it chokes me. She hates my violence, but she shivers when I touch her. She hates my world, but she’s the only one who points me North.
We struck a deal: I pass the class, she gets me out of her life.
But one late night in the library turns into a secret that could destroy us both. Because touching the Coach’s daughter isn't just a penalty—it’s a death sentence for my career.
And when a folder of stolen secrets threatens to burn Blackwood University to the ground, I have to make a choice.
Become the hero she thinks I am? Or be the villain she needs me to be to save her?
