Whose Broad Stripes & Bright Stars
(2026)(A book in the Stars, Stripes and Hockey Nights series)
A novel by Faith Carter
My stepbrother thinks he's setting me up to fail.
As the tournament photographer, I'm assigned to shadow Chase Sullivan — the East team's center and my stepbrother's most hated opponent. East versus West, five games, winner takes all. My stepbrother's plan: use me to get inside Sullivan's head. What he didn't account for: Chase Sullivan is impossible to rattle. Hat tricks don't lie.
Neither do lenses.
I'm Piper Hayes. I stay behind the camera, outside the frame, invisible by design. I don't become the story. I tell it. Chase Sullivan was supposed to be an assignment.
Except he keeps looking directly at me.
He's a 2026 Olympic gold medalist, a gentle giant who donates to youth hockey with every goal, and apparently the only man alive who can spot the exact moment I'm trying to disappear. The more time I spend chasing his story, the harder it gets to stay out of it—especially when my stepbrother’s matchmaking schemes keep throwing us together in the middle of a Washington, D.C., July.
I'm not supposed to fall for my subject. He's not supposed to make it this easy to be seen.
But somewhere between the prank wars, the July Fourth parade, and a secret I photograph by accident—one that changes everything—I stop trying to stay invisible.
And Chase Sullivan stops pretending he hasn't already chosen me.
Whose Broad Stripes and Bright Stars is a sweet, clean hockey rom-com in the Stars, Stripes, and Hockey Nights series…full of rivals-to-reluctant-allies, forced proximity, matchmaking gone gloriously wrong, and two people learning that the best shots are the ones you don't plan for.
Tropes:
* Matchmaking gone wrong
* Rival's sister
* Opposites attract
* Prank war
* Protective hero
* Forced proximity
* Found family
Genre: Romance
