So Gallantly Streaming
(2026)(A book in the Stars, Stripes and Hockey Nights series)
A novel by Dulcie Dameron
DiFranco's Priorities:
Family. Hockey. Gaming. And in that order.
But Love?
Love's been benched indefinitely...
Dash
Pro hockey player, Dash DiFranco, is quickly skating toward the final buzzer of his career. But not before he hits the highlight—getting invited to play for the Stars: an all-American team representing the West.
To celebrate his last hoorah, he offers his online gaming fan base a chance to win tickets to the first hockey game in the series. And once that’s done, the door to playing professional hockey closes on him—for good. He’ll then need to rely on his live-stream gaming success to carry him through to retirement. At least, that’s the plan.
But the last thing Dash expects at the capstone of his career is to meet a girl who makes him want to chase more than just internet fame.
Ruby
Ruby Pinkerington’s dream of owning a boutique salon has finally come true. But after an unexpected family crisis where she becomes the main caregiver to her younger brother, her dream slows to a near halt.
When he wins tickets to a once-in-a-lifetime hockey game to meet his online gaming icon, Ruby’s happy for a small reprieve for them both. Until said icon waltzes into her salon and ASKS HER OUT days before the actual game.
Now things will be awkward. And Ruby doesn’t do awkward. Not willingly, anyway.
But the meet-and-greet at the game takes an unexpected turn, and Dash makes it his mission to bring Ruby out of her shell. Along the way, sparks ignite, stars align, and a unique connection offers them both a second chance at romance. Even if all they can ever have is two fun, flirty weeks in DC.
**So Gallantly Streaming is a part of the multi-author collaboration, Stars, Stripes, and Hockey Nights: a sweet hockey romcom series. If you love when the shy girl falls for the golden retriever guy in a whirlwind romance that has all the feels (but none of the spice), this book is for you.**
