A hockey career, a lucky text, and an uneasy bargain

Jaylen Jones’s chance to stay with the Seattle Rainiers becomes tied to a superstition: he believes Lucy Ross, whom he met during a one-night stand, can bring him luck. Their practical bargain pairs game-day texts with tattooing practice for Lucy, whose apprenticeship hopes have stalled. The arrangement gives both something they want, but their expectations differ: Jaylen sees a link to his gameplay, while Lucy is wary of becoming attached after past situationships. The setup brings career uncertainty and a negotiated relationship together in a sports romance built around hockey and the complications of treating luck as a shared project.

  • Readers interested in hockey-centered romance and professional sports settings.
  • Readers who enjoy romance built around a favor-trading arrangement and a one-night stand.

Don't miss NHL insider and #BookTok influencer Lexi LaFleur Brown's steamy and superstitious hockey rom-com debut!


Jaylen "JJ" Jones's hockey career is over. After not securing an NHL contract with the Seattle Rainiers, Jaylen decides to bid the city farewell with a final night of fun, blowing off steam with an anonymous one night stand. But when a last-minute roster spot opens up on the Rainiers, he connects his luck to the girl he spent the night with. Superstitious Jaylen is desperate to keep her around--his career depends on it.

Aspiring tattoo artist Lucy Ross isn't so sure about the proposition to remain Jaylen's lucky charm--she's been called a lot of things in her life, but good luck has never been one of them. But stuck in a career slump, Lucy has everything to gain. Hoping for an apprenticeship hasn't offered much stability, and Jaylen is willing to pay any price to get Lucy to agree...so maybe sending him a routine text message before each game won't be too hard.

What starts as an agreement to trade favors--a good luck text in exchange for tattooing practice for Lucy's portfolio--quickly turns into sizzling chemistry that's too delicious to deny. But Lucy's been in too many situationships to even think about getting attached again, and Jaylen is clearly only with Lucy as long as it's helping his gameplay...

Neither of them expecting getting lucky could be so complicated.

"One of the best debut novels I've ever read--I ate this book up! Shoot Your Shot is fun, sexy, and brimming with heartfelt emotion." --Lauren Blakely, #1 New York Times bestselling author
