Book-by-Book Guide:
Pucking Around follows Rachel Price as she confronts the shadow of a past romance she walked away from two months ago. A chance encounter pulls her into the glamorous yet complicated orbit of the Jacksonville Rays, where the line between fan and fixer blurs. With humor, steely resolve, and a heartbeat that won’t quit, she navigates trust, boundaries, and the possibility of a second chance. The story grounds celebrity romance in emotional truth, inviting readers to root for a relationship that grows from hesitation to wholehearted commitment, all while the hockey world hums in the background and friendship lends strength along the way.

Pucking Wild dives into Tess Owens’s life as she escapes a life under pressure after a marriage spirals toward ruin. Running to a fresh start in a new city, she unexpectedly finds herself drawn into the Rays’ circle—where teammates, humor, and undeniable chemistry collide. The suspense of reinventing herself pairs with a romance that challenges the idea of a perfect escape, offering readers a blend of protection and freedom, vulnerability and loyalty. Tess’s path toward healing is anchored by bold, supportive friends and the hockey world that refuses to let her stand alone, delivering moments of courage, laughter, and growth on every page.

Pucking Sweet continues the thread of Rachel Price’s journey, deepening the emotional stakes and the magnetic pull of a star-studded romance. As relationships evolve, the narrative invites readers to explore forgiveness, trust re-formation, and the power of choosing happiness after heartbreak. The humor remains sharp and endearing, while intimate moments land with genuine tenderness. Fans will appreciate how the ensemble cast grows closer, how teammates rally around one another, and how Rachel negotiates new boundaries without losing her voice.
