Pucking Around and Falling Hard
(2026)(The first book in the Santa Rosa Ravens series)
A novel by Echo James
I promised myself I wouldn’t touch Emerson Tate.
Great plan.
Terrible follow-through.
She’s my best friend’s sister, living in my house for the summer, walking around in soft sweaters and sharp comebacks like she has no idea how close I am to snapping.
I’m a hockey player.
My whole life is built on discipline, systems, and control.
At least it was before Emerson moved in.
Now she’s in my kitchen, in my head, and under my skin.
She drives me insane.
She also makes my house feel like a home.
She’s off-limits in every possible way.
The woman Dylan warned me away from years ago.
I listened once.
Biggest mistake of my life.
Now one kiss turns into closed doors, stolen nights, and the kind of heat neither of us can pretend is casual.
When her brother catches us, everything I’ve been trying to keep contained blows wide open.
Now I have one chance to get this right.
Because wanting Emerson was never the problem.
Pretending I could stay away was.
Genre: Romance
