She’s the girl of his dreams.

He’s the man she shouldn’t want but can’t resist.

After a decade in the NHL, Benjamin Logan is finally playing for the Chicago Challengers. With only a year to prove himself to his new team, he can’t afford distractions. And that includes stunning brunettes who make his heart race and draw feelings from him no one else ever has.

Once burned, twice shy, Melody McGuire is embracing a fresh start in a new city after being unceremoniously dumped by her boyfriend. She’s nervous about dating anyone again after the way her last relationship ended, but she’s downright flustered when one of her father’s players starts sending warm smiles and flirty repartees her way.

Can the coach’s daughter and one of his star players really find happily ever after? Or will media sensationalism and deep-seated insecurities sabotage their budding romance and chance at love?

Stick Side is a sweet and spicy dual POV hockey romance filled with heart, humor, and happily ever after. It’s the first book in the Chicago Challengers series.
