Match Penalty: Coach's Daughter Hockey Romance (Rookie Hawkeyes Series Book 1)

Jon Paul Dumont is a talented and entitled NHL player with a reputation for leaving broken hearts across the league. A year ago, the narrator became one of them. Now Dumont has signed with the Seattle Hawkeyes after a career-threatening injury and a DUI charge ended his time with the Blue Devils. He's attempting a comeback. The narrator works as the GM's assistant for the Hawkeyes—Coach Wrenley's daughter—and has spent four years establishing herself as more than just the coach's kid. When Dumont joins the team, she's forced to confront their shared past. The two are paired together for the team's biggest charity event, and she finds herself remembering why she fell for him: his smile, his habit of speaking French, the way he brings her coffee exactly as she likes it. Dumont claims there's more to the story of why he disappeared. When he challenges her to a bet—three shots on goal for the chance to prove he's changed—she knows she should refuse. But with her pride and heart on the line, she risks repeating her mistake. This is the first book in the Rookie Hawkeyes Series, a spin-off from The Hawkeyes Hockey Series. Each book is standalone with its own couple and happy ending. Prior series couples make cameo appearances.
