BLURB:
He’s never met a goal he couldn’t hit or a woman he couldn’t charm. Until her.
CALLUM FINNIGAN is the NHL’s golden boy. A master of the chase, he’s used to shooting his shot—and scoring.
Enter: ALIA JOSHI. The shy former cricketer is nothing like Callum’s usual flings. Healing from an abusive ex and a messy divorce, she’s vulnerable, awkward, and—as his grumpy teammate’s cousi —strictly off-limits.
What starts as tipsy bonding over mojitos and potato puns soon blurs into an unexpected friendship. Callum sees her strength despite her scars; Alia sees the lonely man hidden behind jersey #23.
Their ease? Instant. Their chemistry? Crackling. His inability to curb his desire for her? Dangerous.
Because when Alia proposes a no-strings attached fling to reclaim her independence without risking her heart, Callum faces a choice: be the playboy he’s expected to be, or make a play for the only woman who makes him want not a fling, but a forever.
