Smitten as Puck
(2026)(A book in the Portsmouth Whalers Hockey Romance series)
A novel by Stephanie Queen
Axton Belgrade here, tough NHL defenseman for the Portsmouth Whalers and recently shot by Cupid's arrow.
That bull’s eye started my trouble, but I can't say I regret it. Not one effing bit.
Maybe I should have known Heidi was too good to be true. She's a stunning and brilliant civil attorney and I was smitten the minute I met her.
But I swear I didn't know she was with the nastiest player in the NHL, the Brawlers enforcer who almost ended my best friend's career.
So when she asks me to help her get rid of the turd and his unwanted attention at a charity event, I happily oblige.
I'm relieved she doesn't want to stay with the pucking turd. Until he says with convincing confidence that Heidi is his fiancee.
Could she reallybe engaged to my worst enemy in hockey?
(Did I mention his team is our hated rivals, and the Boston Brawlers are just an hour away?)
Still, I feel an overwhelming need to protect Heidi and I'm hoping her Ex is a liar and really her Ex.
Until the Brawlers' new owner stops me cold when he introduces himself as... Story Bomb Alert!
