HOCKEY STAR ROMANCE! HE WON’T COOPERATE…

Juno Paxton has built her award-winning documentary career dismantling institutions people blindly worship. Her latest assignment is her most high-profile yet: immerse herself in the league’s newest hockey expansion team—the Portland Wildfire—for an entire season and create a behind-the-scenes film the league can parade around as “authentic.”

Juno doesn’t buy it. Not the hype, not the hero worship, and definitely not the polished personas of pro athletes. She expects egos, theatrics, and plenty of manufactured grit.

What she doesn’t expect is Crosby Hale. The Wildfire’s starting goalie is stoic, meticulously focused, and infuriatingly camera-shy. He wants nothing to do with her film, her questions, or her insistence that he “show some personality.”

Unfortunately for him, the league wants Juno’s documentary to center on the enigmatic goaltender who refuses to cooperate…”

Only problem is, her sister’s a little busy being a bride at the moment—so JoJo ropes in her childhood bestie, Cooper Watts, to be her wing man. Cooper: who RSVPed no, but then showed up, anyway.

Cooper: who left town without a word four years earlier and moved to London. Cooper: who was, if she’s honest, the worst heartbreak of JoJo’s life…”

After successfully taking down a city-wide demon threat, I wasn’t expecting a parade, but I thought I’d at least get a couple days off. No such luck.

When the supernatural world decides that Lucian and I have broken too many rules, we’re dragged before a tribunal where innocence is irrelevant and judgment is inevitable.
