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.
