Perfect for you if...

You love slow-burn romances where forced proximity does the heavy lifting, especially when both characters are trying hard to resist.
You're drawn to heroes who show up for the people they care about in quiet, meaningful ways.
You enjoy contemporary romance with family dynamics woven in, not just a couple but a found family unit.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your romance fast and loose without much emotional vulnerability before the couple gets together.
You're not keen on stories centred around single parents and blended family complications.
You want minimal workplace tension or ethical questions about power dynamics in employment relationships.

About this book

Hudson Hayes, a defenseman for the DC Stars, has been searching for months to hire a private chef as the NHL season approaches. Madeline Galloway, recently unemployed from her executive chef position in Las Vegas, contacts an old acquaintance about a job opportunity in Washington DC. After connecting with Hudson, she and her daughter Lucy relocate east. They establish clear boundaries: no personal relationships. However, after a New Year's Eve kiss, the dynamic shifts. When Hudson learns American Sign Language for Lucy, Madeline finds her resolve tested. Slap Shot is a slow burn friends-to-lovers romance featuring a private chef and hockey player, with forced proximity and spicy content.
