BLURB:
She’s about to proposition a famous hockey player…
Ellie Ford is ready for a fresh start. Away from her dead-end relationship, her grieving dad, and the city that so deeply reminds her of her mom. Things are off to a good start when she hooks up with the hottest guy she’s ever met.
…and she has no idea.
Matt Anderson feels like a ticking time bomb. At thirty-six, he’s pushing the envelope for a pro athlete and he knows it. But deciding when to call it quits and what to do after? It’s a decision he thinks might send him into an early midlife crisis.
Then Ellie comes barreling into his world and he feels like his priorities might be changing. The catch? Ellie’s not interested in dating a hockey player and he doesn’t know why.
Can Matt convince Ellie he’s endgame material? Or will his first love—hockey—ruin everything?
Endgame is an emotional, swoon-worthy, age gap hockey romance about finding & fighting for love when life doesn’t make it easy.
