Elite Hockey Book 3
Meet Johnny and Kelly...
If you love hockey players with emotional depth, fake dating with history, and the tension of falling for the one person you swore you were done with—The Alternate Captain delivers it all. It’s a slow-burn romance packed with angst, banter, and the kind of unresolved feelings that hit you right in the heart.
Please read content warnings.
No feelings. Nothing. It''s as if I’m dead inside.
Johnny Koenig can’t recall the last time he experienced any emotion other than the intense pride he has for his team. The team admires, respects, and relies on him as their captain. But outside of hockey, Johnny is desperate to feel something more. And he thinks he’s found it when he meets Kelly online.
She’s smart and funny. She makes him come alive. And he thinks he’s starting to like this girl … until she ghosts him.
There one minute and gone the next; it’s like their three-month conversation never happened.
… this is an alternate version of Johnny I don’t know.
Kelly Betts hates hockey. All she wants to do is focus on music, a talent she’s put all her effort into since she was a child. When she’s invited to an audition for a prestigious music college, she jumps at the chance, even if it means staying with her brother on his side of the city--the same brother who’s been injured too many times for Kelly’s liking thanks to his career in hockey.
But he begs her to attend the playoff quarterfinals, she reluctantly drags herself through the doors of the rink, but the excitement of the game doesn’t last when he takes a hit that has her bolting for the exit, but not before she comes face to face with an eight-foot poster of the guy she’s been talking to online. Except, it can’t actually be him, can it?
Can Kelly help Johnny find himself when everything seems against them?
Tropes include:
brother's best friend
fake dating
secret relationship
slow burn
Genre: Romance
