Ice Hockey Romance

"A hilarious, sexy debut from an author who truly knows her hockey." - RACHEL REID, No.1 New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry on Shoot Your Shot

USA TODAY bestselling author, NHL insider, and TikTok influencer Lexi LaFleur Brown is back with another trope-packed, spicy, hockey-accurate rom com!

Don't get mad-get even.

A grudge hates to see Olivia Hinckley coming. Years ago, a dirty hit ended her late father's NHL career with the Minnesota Freeze. It was never fair that Erik Parker walked away with little more than a penalty, but it's worse that her father's rival is now up for Hall of Fame induction. On top of that, Erik's son-hockey's golden boy, Brody-just signed on to play for the Freeze. Determined to dismantle the Parker legacy, Olivia enacts a revenge plot that has her donning the Freeze's mascot costume to gain intel on the Parkers. And she can't help but mess with Brody's gameplay-and his heart for good measure. After all, what's a little fake dating between enemies?

Brody Parker only ever wanted to play hockey for fun, but the pressure of being part of hockey's 'First Family' has him dodging nepotism allegations along with high sticks. Erik might act like Father of the Year when the cameras are on, but behind closed doors, Brody struggles with his father's impossible expectations. Preserving Erik's image is a full-time job, but lucky for Brody, his new connection with Olivia is a welcome (spicy) distraction.

When Brody finally opens up to Olivia, she never expected she'd pity a Parker for anything. Suddenly, she wants to protect her once-enemy. The romantic feelings she faked are now unexpectedly real, but after leading Brody on for so long, can she keep the lies and the truth straight before she accidentally blows up his whole life?

Aspiring musician Fabian loathes hockey. But that doesn't stop him from being attracted to a certain burly ginger-bearded defenseman. He hasn't forgotten the kiss they almost shared back in high school, and the chemistry between them has only intensified.

Fabian is more than happy to be Ryan's guide to the gay scene in Toronto. Between dance clubs and art exhibits - and the most amazing sex-Ryan's feeling something he hasn't experienced in a long time: joy.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry comes a sexy opposites-attract winter romance between a shy goaltender and his charming All-Star teammate.

For Landon Stackhouse, being called up from the Calgary farm team is exciting and terrifying, even if, as the backup goalie, he rarely leaves the bench. A quiet loner by nature, Landon knows he gives off strong 'don't talk to me' vibes. The only player who doesn't seem to notice is Calgary's superstar young winger, Casey Hicks.

Casey treats Landon like an old friend, even though they've only interacted briefly in the past. He's endlessly charming and completely laid-back in a way that Landon absolutely can't relate to. They couldn't have less in common, but Landon needs a place to live that's not a hotel room, and Casey has just bought a massive house-and hates being alone.

As roommates, Casey refuses to be defeated by Landon's one-word answers. As friends, Landon starts to notice a few things about Casey, like his wide, easy smile and sparkling green-blue eyes. Spending the holidays together only intensifies their bromance-turned-romance. But as the new year approaches, the countdown to the end of Landon's time in Calgary is on.

The hits just keep coming for Troy Barrett. Traded to the worst team in the league would be bad enough, but coming on the heels of a messy breakup and a recent scandal... Troy just wants to play hockey and be left alone. He definitely doesn't want to 'work on his online presence' with the team's peppy social media manager.

Harris Drover can tell standoffish Troy isn't happy about the trade, but Harris doesn't give up on people easily. Even when he's developing a crush he's sure is one-sided. And when he sees Troy's smile finally crack through his grumpy exterior... That's a man Harris couldn't turn his back on if he wanted to.

Suddenly, Troy's move to the new team feels like an opportunity - for Troy to embrace his true self, and for both men to explore their growing attraction. But being together behind closed doors is one thing, and for Troy, being in a public relationship with Harris will mean facing off with his fears, once and for all.

'A bold hockey romance that hits like a slap shot.' - Rachel Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry

Two bitter rivals go head-to-head in this age-gap, enemies-to-lovers hockey romance.

Michael Sato is used to fighting.

An undersized defenseman, Mike had to be tough, clawing his way up from the minors by taking down one ferocious player at a time. No way is he going to lose his spot on the league roster, especially not by giving in to his attraction to a hot, infuriating rival.

Daniel Garcia is used to fighting, too.

Enforcer Danny is the biggest, meanest player on the ice. A target for anyone trying to make a name for themselves, he doesn't show weakness, nor is he going to risk his last season for a sexy rookie who nearly knocked him on his ass.

When their intense physical connection explodes outside of the rink, Mike and Danny learn they just might be able to build something real, but only if they can let down their guard - and their fists - long enough.

'A bold hockey romance that hits like a slap shot.' - Rachel Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry on Game Misconduct.

Two polar opposite teammates battle their rivals - and their own issues - in this friends-to-lovers hockey romance.

Nate Singer is one of the good guys.

As team captain, Nate's whole deal is sticking to the playbook, supporting his team and keeping his own issues buried. Especially since the team is finally winning, due in no small part to his chemistry with one particular hotshot teammate.

Zach Reed has a bad boy reputation.

And it's cost him. Zach's past exploits landed him on the worst team in the league. But that also gave him the best friend he's ever had. For three years, his friendship with Nate has grown, making them an intimidating duo on the ice - and forming an intense bond off of it as well.

When the team hits a skid, Zach and Nate go out with one thing in mind: finding someone for a quick roll in the sheets to get back to their winning ways. Only they end up in each other's arms - and each other's heart.

And realise that could be exactly what they've always needed to win it all.

'Lucky Bounce is a funny and charming hockey romance that I couldn't put down." - Rachel Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry

A MM sports romance featuring a single dad pro hockey player, a kindergarten teacher, and undeniable chemistry.

Ezekiel Boehm is no stranger to teaching kids with famous parents. But when the pro hockey player he's been thirsting after walks into the Rittenhouse Friends School gym hand-in-hand with a tiny kindergartener, he figures he must be hallucinating. Spencer McLeod is many things: Zeke's favourite winger on the Philadelphia Liberty, an absolute menace on the ice, and a reluctant but captivating postgame interviewee. But a dad? Apparently, he is.

Zeke can be chill about this. He can.

Surprisingly, the more time he spends with Spencer, the easier it becomes to connect. School volunteer events quickly turn into reserved seats at games, which soon evolve into something much deeper. And even though Zeke is entirely committed to ignoring Spencer's blush - and the way he looks in his grey sweatpants - he simply can't take his eyes off the athlete.

A romance between a teacher and a pro hockey star could never work. Or could it?
