Second chances on and off the ice

A reunion with unresolved heartbreak puts hockey player Barrett and single mother Raleigh at the center of a romance shaped by their past one-night stand and the life Raleigh has built for her young son. The Minnesota Lakes setting connects their renewed relationship to Barrett’s professional world, while the story’s secret-child premise raises the stakes of his attempt to become part of Raleigh’s life. The description also identifies an age gap, sexual content, and themes of post-partum depression and bullying; it notes that childbirth complications and slut-shaming may be triggering.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult romance readers interested in hockey settings and second-chance relationships.
  • Readers who enjoy age-gap romance and secret-child storylines.
  • Readers seeking a romance with explicit sexual content and who are comfortable with the listed trigger topics.

Book overview

A single mom comes face-to-face with the hockey player who broke her heart in this spicy second-chance romance from the author of the Black Rabbit series.

Life has taught Raleigh not to hope for happily ever after. Instead, she takes whatever temporary pleasure she can get from the hockey players who share their beds with her. She might be a puck bunny, but it's an arrangement that works for her. Until one unforgettable night leaves her with shattered defenses and a complication she didn't bargain for.

When Barrett woke up alone after a one-night stand, he instantly knew Raleigh had ruined him for anyone else. And despite his teammates' endless teasing, he's never stopped trying to find her again. For now, all he has to hold on to is a memory. Until a spontaneous meet and greet with a new Minnesota Lakes sponsor brings the woman who haunts his dreams back into his life.

Even after five years, their scorching chemistry is undeniable. But no matter how much she wants him, Raleigh isn't about to risk her heart or the stability she's built for her son. On the other hand, Barrett's determined to prove he's ready for more than just one night. He wants every part of her--including the four-year-old kid who looks just like him . . .

In the Game is a spicy age-gap hockey romance featuring a secret baby/child, angst, primal play, and of course, a happily ever after. Possible triggers include childbirth complications, post-partum depression, bullying, and slut-shaming, and sexual harassment is mentioned but not described in detail.
