Pucking the New Boss: A Forbidden Workplace Hockey Romance (New York Fury Hockey - #5)

She bought the team. She didn't plan on wanting the captain.

Self-made tech billionaire Hailey Lambert has spent her life proving she's more than her family's money. When she purchases the New York Fury, she's ready to build a championship team—not fall for her frustratingly confident captain.

Hunter Coleman has worn the C for seven years. He's the face of the franchise, the man who holds everything together, and he answers to no one. Until the new owner walks in with ice-queen composure, hockey knowledge that rivals any GM, and the most infuriating ability to see right through him.

Their chemistry is instant. Undeniable. And absolutely forbidden.

One kiss becomes a secret. A secret becomes a risk neither can afford. If anyone discovers the owner is sleeping with her captain, Hailey loses everything she's built—dismissed as the woman who bought a team for a player. Hunter becomes the guy who slept his way to favoritism.

So they hide. Stolen moments. Separate elevators. Lies that cut deeper every day.

But when a photograph surfaces and Hailey is forced to deny their relationship publicly, Hunter realizes that being her secret might cost him more than his career. Because he didn't just fall for his boss.

He fell for the woman behind the armor. And he's done hiding.
