Enemies-to-lovers hockey heat with a guarded defenseman, tenacious sports journalist, and the forbidden attraction that could ruin both their careers!

Harper Reed has worked too hard as a sports journalist to let anyone question her integrity—especially not Beckett Fraser. After the arrogant defenseman publicly insulted her reporting during his first Boston press conference, their professional relationship has been ice cold. When her editor assigns her to write an in-depth profile on the Titans' most notoriously difficult player, Harper's determined to prove she can handle any assignment, even if it means facing off with the man who makes her blood boil.

Beck Fraser has spent his career keeping reporters at a distance. After a controversial exit from Montreal that left his reputation in tatters, the last person he needs digging into his life is the stubborn journalist with amber eyes who seems immune to his intimidation tactics. He's fought too hard to protect his carefully guarded secrets and the children's charity work he keeps hidden from the public eye.

As reluctant interviews turn into surprising discoveries, their professional animosity ignites into something far more dangerous. Harper faces an impossible choice—pursuing the real story behind Beck's Montreal departure could cement her career, but betraying his trust would destroy their growing connection. Meanwhile, Beck must decide if he can finally let someone see beyond his protective walls when the press has only ever twisted his truth.

With playoffs approaching and tension mounting both on and off the ice, Harper and Beck discover that sometimes the biggest goals have nothing to do with hockey. But when devastating truths surface, they'll learn whether their newfound feelings can withstand the pressure or if they're destined to remain on opposite sides of the boards.

PUCKING THE REPORTER is the prequel to the Boston Titans Hockey Series, but can be enjoyed as a complete standalone. This steamy contemporary sports romance features a protective French-Canadian defenseman with secrets to hide, a principled journalist with boundaries to maintain, professional tension that melts into passion, and a guaranteed HEA.

Tropes you'll enemies-to-lovers, forbidden romance, sports romance, career versus love, forced proximity, trust issues, emotional wounds, and a player who learns that some stories deserve to be told.

Each book in the Boston Sports Universe features different characters and can be read as standalones, though interconnected through the vibrant world of Boston's professional sports scene across hockey, baseball, football and basketball teams.

Some stories are worth the penalty minutes.
