In the Game: A Hockey Romance

Life has taught Raleigh not to hope for happily ever after. Instead, she takes whatever temporary pleasure she can get from the hockey players who share their beds with her. She might be a puck bunny, but it’s an arrangement that works for her. Until one unforgettable night leaves her with shattered defenses and a complication she didn’t bargain for.

When Barrett woke up alone after a one-night stand, he instantly knew Raleigh had ruined him for anyone else. And despite his teammates’ endless teasing, he’s never stopped trying to find her again. For now, all he has to hold on to is a memory. Until a spontaneous meet and greet with a new Minnesota Lakes sponsor brings the woman who haunts his dreams back into his life.

Even after five years, their scorching chemistry is undeniable. But no matter how much she wants him, Raleigh isn’t about to risk her heart or the stability she’s built for her son. On the other hand, Barrett’s determined to prove he’s ready for more than just one night. He wants every part of her—including the four-year-old kid who looks just like him . . .

In the Game is a spicy age-gap hockey romance featuring a secret baby/child, angst, primal play, and of course, a happily ever after. Possible triggers include childbirth complications, post-partum depression, bullying, and slut-shaming, and sexual harassment is mentioned but not described in detail.
