CENTER ICE

I’ve always been a wild card – the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it – but appearances can be deceiving.

Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.

But the first night I’m back in town, I come face to face with Audrey, my college calculus tutor. We had a brief fling right before I was drafted into the NHL. Now, her five year old son is standing by her side, and I don’t need a tutor to do that kind of math.

Audrey insists she doesn’t want me involved in Graham’s life unless I can commit to being a dad. With everything else going on, this is the worst possible timing.

But every minute I spend with Graham and Audrey feels exactly right, and I’m left questioning everything I thought I wanted.

Because now my goals are shifting, and getting what I really want might come at the expense of the game I’ve given my entire life to.

TROPES

"This book was such a breath of fresh air, light and easy to read. I just love a MMC who turns into a total simp from the moment he lays eyes on the FMC. The side characters in this are easy to love and I'm so excited to read about more of them in the future!"

- jamie, Goodreads Reviewer

"Okay this book actually blew me away! This is the first book I have read by Julia and now I need more. This was so good I read it in one sitting. I am definitely in my hockey romance era and this one did not disappoint! I had so many highlights from spicy moments, swoony moments, and heart melting moments. I can't wait to read the rest of the Boston Rebels series!"

- rachel, Goodreads Reviewer

"This book was a damn delight. When I say I devoured this book, I mean I didn’t move for hours while I consumed every word of this! You say the word hockey romance and I am THERE, so i fell in love with the both the sweetness as well as the spice in this."
