Crosschecks & Chocolates
(2026)(The first book in the Sweets, Skates, & Soulmates series)
A novel by Jessica Parker
I move to Highland Haven determined to prove I didn’t uproot my life for nothing.
With my savings gone, my plans unraveling, and no safety net to fall back on, winning the Candy Clash competition feels less like ambition and more like survival. Then a charming Scottish hockey player accidentally shatters my chocolate sculpture—and the emotional walls I worked so hard to build.
Lochie MacRae is a fiery competitor on the ice and a playful crowd favorite off it, fiercely loyal to his team and the rules that come with it. One glance at him and I know getting close would be a mistake.
Especially when I realize he’s one of the judges on the very show I need to win.
A secret attraction and unbreakable rules put everything at risk with every glance and stolen moment. Lochie wants to protect me without crossing a line, but even good intentions can unravel dreams. As our connection becomes impossible to ignore, we’re forced to decide what winning truly means—and what we’re willing to risk to get there.
Cross Checks & Chocolates is a kisses-only hockey clean romance featuring baking competitions, secret identity, found family, slow burn, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
Genre: Romance
