Shots & Echoes

She was the line I wasn't supposed to cross. Now I'll break every rule to keep her.

Knox

As assistant coach of Crestwood's most brutal hockey team, I command respect through discipline, grit, and a reputation that keeps most people at a distance.

I don't bend. I don't break.

And I sure as hell don't touch my players.

Until Iris Evans.

She's fire on the ice and chaos off it. The sharpest shot I've ever seen-and the only one that's ever made it past my defenses.

She thinks I'm cold. Controlled. Detached.

She doesn't know what it costs me not to fall apart every time she walks into the room.

But when secrets leak and lines blur, keeping my hands off her stops being an option.

Now? She's mine.

Even if the league, the team, and the world come for us.

Iris

Being a female hockey player means fighting every day to be seen, heard, and respected.

It doesn't leave room for distractions-especially not ones with piercing eyes and a growl that makes me forget my own name.

Knox Callahan is my coach. My rulebook. My breaking point.

We're toxic. Impossible. Addictive.

But when the ice melts and the truth comes out, I have to choose: protect my career or risk it all for the man who makes me feel like I finally belong.

Shots & Echoes is a stand-alone forbidden hockey romance featuring a brooding, fiercely loyal coach and a relentless, blazing-hot forward who refuses to play by the rules. Expect electric chemistry, sharp banter, and a love story that hits harder than any check on the ice. Guaranteed HEA. No cliffhanger.
