A hockey romance shaped by life after divorce

Hailey Taylor Emery runs an anonymous virtual-assistant service with her ex-husband, and her favorite client may be hockey star Matt Eriksson—someone she has admired for years. Their online flirtation becomes more complicated when Matt asks to meet in person. Both arrive with recent marital heartbreak: Hailey is still processing her divorce, while Matt is weighing his strained relationship with his ex and the demands of hockey alongside fatherhood. The setup brings workplace boundaries, celebrity anonymity, co-parenting, and the possibility of a new relationship into the same romance, with the shift from texting to face-to-face contact creating its central tension.

  • Readers interested in contemporary romance involving professional hockey and celebrity anonymity.
  • Readers who want a romance centered on divorce, co-parenting, and the challenges of building a new relationship.

Book overview

From New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy and USA Today bestselling author Sarina Bowen comes the next in the spin-off series of their wildly successful Him and Us books.

"I'm ridiculously attracted to you, Hottie. I figured I should be up front about that."

"Shut up and kiss me again, Snipes."

Hailey Taylor Emery has a hunch that Sniper87, her favorite client at Fetch--the anonymous virtual assistant service she runs with her ex-husband--is actually gorgeous hockey superstar Matt Eriksson. It's against the rules to check his file, but she's pretty sure she spends every day texting her lifelong crush and catering to his every need. Still processing her recent divorce, Hailey is perfectly content for this to be nothing but harmless online flirting...until Sniper87 wants to meet her. Face to face. Cue: utter panic.

Matt Eriksson is no stranger to heartbreak. He's still not over the destruction of his own marriage, and it sucks to be the only guy on his team who knows the truth: that hockey and long-term relationships are a toxic mix. He barely sees his kids, and dealing with his ex makes him feel worthless. The only person in his life who seems to understand is someone who won't show her pretty face: the mysterious HTE, aka "Hottie."

Surely, though, it's nothing a pair of fourth row hockey seats can't fix. Superfan Hailey can't resist the offer, and Matt can't resist Hailey. But when the phone screens come down, can they get past their baggage long enough to build something real?
