Slap Shot: A Marriage of Convenience Hockey Romance

He’ll do anything for his best friend…even marry her.

I live by two universal truths:
When I step onto the ice, I’m a god.
Daisy Hall is the other half of my soul.

My teammates joke that I’m too co-dependent with the coach’s daughter, and maybe that’s true. We’ve been thick as thieves since college, and even when I got drafted to the Boston Blades, Daisy followed me across state lines. Which suited me just fine.

If a person can be a home, then Daisy Hall is mine.

Only, I never anticipated that my best friend might be keeping a secret from me, one big enough to rain down Hell from every team in the league. Now they’re all out for blood and I’m Daisy’s only shield.

The home we built together suddenly feels like it’s made of glass.
One wrong move, and it all might shatter.

The smart thing to do would be to focus on my game. We’re coming off a Cup win, and if I want another, I can’t afford any distractions. But there isn’t anything I won’t do to protect my girl…

Even make her my wife.


SLAP SHOT is a friends to lovers/marriage of convenience romance. It is the fifth book in the Blades Hockey series but can be read as a complete standalone.
