Slapshot (Austin Aces Hockey Club)

Blair has spent her life being the ugly duckling to her sister’s beautiful swan.

She tries not to let it bother her, but when the one guy she connected with in a sports bar over a shared love of hockey passed her up for her sister it hurt more than she’d ever let on.

Five years later, her personal walls are high while her career thrives. Her role of social media manager for the Austin Aces is fulfilling in a way she’d only ever dreamed of.

The only catch is that she has to work with the one man who embodies all her private insecurities, and he won’t leave her alone. Regardless of how poorly she treats him or how many publicity opportunities that no one else wants to do she volunteers him for.

Cian is known for being cool and in control on the ice.

He’s the kind of guy everyone loves, with the glaring exception of a particular social media manager who has it out for him. His best friend swears that Blair is a sweetheart, but Cian only ever gets her ire, so when he decides to try to crack the icy shell, he’s in for one hell of a fight.

As Cian begins to realize that friendship is a great starting point to grow for more, he’ll have to find a way to convince Blair that his feelings for her are more than skin deep.
