My Hockey Star Husband Trashed Our Marriage on a Hot Mic
(2026)(The seventh book in the Emotional Romance Reads series)
A novel by Kelsie Calloway
Four million people heard my hockey star husband joke about divorcing me on live television. The worst part? I gave up my career to make him a star.
Ten years of marriage. Four cities. One championship ring. And a career I sacrificed so he could have his.
I was the woman who taught Deacon how to make it through his first interview. I was the wife who walked away from a national news anchor desk when his career took off. I was the one who stood beside him through every trade, every injury, and every victory.
The whole world thought we had the perfect marriage. So did I.
Until a microphone caught my husband laughing with his teammates during a nationally televised game.
"The marriage? Buddy, that's a contract too. You don’t have to renew it with the same broad."
Then one of his teammates asked if he was planning to trade me in for a younger model. And my husband laughed.
By morning, the clip had gone viral. Millions of strangers were taking bets on our divorce. Deacon swore his words were taken out of context. His agent called it harmless locker-room banter. The team wanted me to release a statement defending him.
Apparently, I was supposed to smile, forgive him, and go back to being the perfect hockey wife.
Instead, I went on national television, took back my old job, and announced that I was done being Mrs. Deacon Wilde.
The ratings beat his game.
Now Deacon is begging me to come home. He says there's more to that conversation than I heard. That the full recording changes everything. That he'd never throw away the woman he loves.
Maybe he's telling the truth. But I know what I heard. I know how it felt to discover my husband considered our marriage something he could renegotiate. And if he wants me back, he's going to have to do a hell of a lot more than apologize.
Especially once he finds out about the secret I'm carrying. Because that's one exclusive the whole world is going to have to wait for.
My husband spent ten years making headlines while I stood quietly beside him. Now I'm about to become the biggest headline of his career.
