PRE-ORDER THE FOURTH BOOK IN THE JACKSONVILLE RAY SERIES! 
 
In the latest spicy novel in the internationally bestselling Jacksonville Rays hockey romance series, a desperate situation ends with a quick trip down the aisle. Now the team physical therapist has to smile for the cameras and prove he’s in love with his new superstar hockey husband . . . 
 My name is Teddy O’Connor, and I just made a terrible mistake. It’s been six years since I was an intern for the Jacksonville Rays NHL team. Six years since I was wrapping ice packs on knees and playing Mario Kart on chartered planes. And it’s been six long years since I first met him. Henrik Karlsson, star forward of the Rays…and king of my heart. 
 Oh god, I’ve got to get over this crush! I’m a doctor now, a respected professional in my field. And Henrik doesn’t even know I exist. As the Rays’ newest physical therapist, I have a chance to launch my career. So you tell me why I’m risking everything to follow this man halfway around the world! 
 After receiving news of his sister’s tragic death, Henrik must fly to Sweden to retrieve his young niece. She’s injured and grieving, but a new hockey season is about to start. Henrik can’t possibly care for her alone. In fact, the Swedish government won’t let him. He needs me. They both do. I’d be heartless not to help…right? 
 Well, that’s what I told myself last week as I signed our Swedish marriage license. It’s what I told myself yesterday as I moved my stuff into his apartment. And it’s what I’m telling myself now as the Rays PR Director stares us down. They want this marriage to look real. The team’s public image, our jobs, and his niece’s custody agreement all depend on it. 
 But the Rays don’t need to worry. My problem isn’t that I don’t love my new fake husband. God help me, my problem is that I do.

The lines between work and play get deliciously blurred in this red hot, inclusive, super sexy MMF “why choose” hockey romance that set TikTok on fire! 
 
My name is Poppy St. James and I’ve just landed my dream job as the Director of Public Relations for the NHL’s hottest new team, the Jacksonville Rays. But if I want to stay beyond my one-year contract, I'll have to prove myself. Easy. PR is in my blood. What’s not so easy are the hockey players. They’re a real handful—especially party boy defenseman Lukas Novikov. 
 
I don't care how well Lucas plays hockey. Off the ice, he's a PR nightmare. Brash and bossy, he's always finding ways to drag his teammates into trouble—especially fellow defenseman Colton Morrow—and I have to find brilliant ways to drag them out of it. The players can all call me PR Barbie all they want, but I'm getting the job done. Because I am poised, powerful, and always professional . . . until the fateful night my phone rings. 
 
With one little phone call from home that leads to one drunken mistake, my carefully balanced life is knocked off-kilter. And now I'm staring down at a little blue plus sign and I have no strategy, no idea what’s next. All I know is that nothing will ever be the same.
