My Pucking Grumpy Mountain Man Enemy
(2027)(A book in the Mountain Man Hockey Romance series)
A novel by Avery Shaw
I didn't retire from the NHL. I got carried off the ice on a stretcher and told my knee would never survive another season. So I did what any rational man would do. Bought a cabin in the mountains, grew a beard, and pretended professional hockey never existed.
Then the town council hired a new recreation director. For my rink.
Tessa Morgan is loud, opinionated, and has zero respect for the fact that I built this community rink with my own hands and my own money. She waltzes in with a clipboard full of ideas and a smile designed to make me agree to things I'd never agree to. Like couples skate nights. And themed lighting.
Over my dead body.
She thinks I'm a grumpy, washed-up jock who hates fun. I think she's a chaos tornado in yoga pants who's hell-bent on ruining my rink.
We argue about everything. The schedule. The music. The temperature. Whether or not I'm allowed to terrify the adult league players during open skate.
I don't like her. She doesn't like me. That's the story.
Except I can't stop watching her skate after hours when she thinks nobody's looking. And the night she falls on the ice and I carry her off, my hands don't want to let go.
She's still my enemy. She's also becoming my everything.
My Pucking Grumpy Mountain Man Enemy is a steamy mountain man hockey romance with an enemies-to-lovers burn that melts the ice. Prepare for grumpy/sunshine, small town and forced proximity vibes with a guaranteed HEA and no cheating.
Genre: Romance
