Heated Rivalry

Perfect for you if...

You love hockey romance with real chemistry and banter between characters who actually clash on and off the ice.
You're after spicy scenes that feel earned through genuine tension rather than instalove.
You enjoy watching two people convince themselves a friends-with-benefits arrangement is temporary right up until it isn't.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer slow-burn romance that takes books to build. This one ignites quickly and keeps the heat high throughout.
You want your hockey romance grounded in realistic sport details. This is more character-driven than tactics-heavy.
You're looking for a standalone. This is book one in a series, so you'll want more after finishing.

About this book

Emerson (Emmy) Hartwell, a professional hockey player, finally gets her chance to play for the struggling D.C. Stars. Maverick Miller, the league's best player and team captain, has never achieved a winning record. Despite being opposites, he agrees to work with the fiery new left-winger to help turn the team around. After a night of escalating tension leads them to sleep together, Emmy and Maverick decide it was a one-time occurrence to clear the air so they can focus on playing better. Emmy doesn't date hockey players, and Maverick, a known playboy, doesn't date at all. However, what was meant to happen only once repeats multiple times throughout the season. They maintain their arrangement is temporary, but their dynamic off the ice becomes increasingly intense.
