Publisher Description
Two Olympians are matched in a media campaign that turns into something more than a game.
Rio Games silver medalist and social media darling CORA "JADE" ANDERSON is approached by a popular cell phone company to launch a flirty but fake media campaign with ice hockey star DAVIS ELLIOTT. When things get off to a rocky start, Cora and Davis both wonder what they've gotten into and how they'll get through the months until the Korean games.
It's not long until things start to warm up between the athletes and soon this fake romance becomes something much more real. Cora knows just how to work social media and engage her fans, and as the world watches and interacts with them, their love grows. When Davis is selected for Team USA, the opposition starts. As a Korean American, he's already facing odds Cora can never comprehend, but he takes his frustration at the racism to the ice and lets the puck take the beating.
Things come to a head just weeks before the games begin. Can Davis and Cora's very public relationship survive the aftermath of a very public confrontation, or are they going to have to let their love go when the Olympic flame is extinguished at the closing ceremonies?

Favorite Author’s Newest Book!!!
I have read every one of Hallee Bridgeman's books and this one, Jade's Match is my favorite! I sat down and read it in one sitting. I could not put it down. This was a realistic story, complete with the social media craze we currently live in. This is a fabulous novella with very realistic characters! Thank you, Hallee for another excellent book!
Christian romance and Olympic athletes, a winning combination
The Jewel series continues with a story about Emerald Fire’s Maxine and Barry’s daughter. Cora is a beach volleyball silver medalist. She decides to participate in a social media campaign with Dauntless Davis a hockey player, hoping to make the 2018 US Olympic hockey team. It is an unlikely pairing and you will see some of the personal sacrifices that every athlete has to deal with while training and competing on an Olympic level. The story is rich with personality and drama and how God is able to work all things out in spite of misconceptions and racism.
The story talks about Christian values without being preachy. Dauntless Davis is a fierce competitor and he has learned how to release his emotions on the ice and draw the power of the Holy Spirit to maintain his cool when off the ice.
These characters are real and you will fall in love with them just like the other stories in the Jewel series books. I did not want the book to end.
