Off Season

Ethan
Finding out my ex-fiance is the best man at my cousin's wedding is the cherry on top of my problems.
I can't turn up alone, so finding a fake boyfriend is the only option.
My relationship with Jacob isn't supposed to be real, but he gets me in a way nobody ever has and now I'm questioning everything.
After nearly two decades in the NHL, retirement is nearing and I have no idea who I am outside of hockey.
I need to focus on winning one last Cup, not falling in love.
Jacob
Ethan Parkes became my savior when he offered me a deal that would solve all of my problems. So when he asked me to be his fake boyfriend for a wedding in England, I jumped at the chance.
Besides, so what if I already have a crush on him?
When we give into the chemistry between us, he tells me we only have the off season. But I'm determined to show him that he's more than just a name on a jersey, even if it could cause my heart a world of hurt.
Off Season is a friends to lovers, grumpy/sunshine hockey romance. With a touch of hurt/comfort, a ten-year age gap, interfering teammates, and all the found family vibes. It is book two in the Chicago Thunder series and can be listened to as a standalone.
