Pucking The Grumpy Coach
(2025)(A book in the Alpha Ridge Creek Hockey Romance series)
A Story by Deidre-Ann Anderson
Returning to Alpha Ridge Creek was supposed to be dedicated to building my career in figure skating and reconnecting with my brother. NOT falling for his grumpy best friend, who also happens to be the town's beloved hockey coach.
But Xander Phillips isn't the same brooding twenty-seven-year-old I crushed on as a kid. Now he's an impossibly attractive, successful hunk who has never looked twice in my direction—until that night he catches me alone at the rink in an intimate moment with myself that I’m not proud of.
Too bad a small-town scandal is the last thing either of us needs, even if he has a cinnamon roll center behind that alpha male exterior. And a maddening over-the-top protective streak.
He's got a reputation to protect, and I've got dreams bigger than our fifteen-year age gap. Plus, my brother would probably bench himself if he knew his baby sister was falling for the only man he dubbed as forbidden in town. Luckily, I’ve never found a rule that didn’t have a healthy loophole.
"Pucking The Grumpy Coach" is a steamy, emotional romance featuring a grumpy coach with a cinnamon roll center, a determined figure skater who melts his defenses, and enough heat to steam up the rink. Contains inappropriate uses of penalty boxes and a guaranteed HEA.
Grab your gear and prepare for steamy moments, fast-paced action, and the kind of chemistry that’ll leave you more than breathless. In Alpha Ridge Creek, the Desperadoes aren’t just chasing the puck—they’re chasing love, and they always play to win!
