Text: She expected her literary agent to have words for her, just not these two: Hockey Romance. For Millie Decker, hockey is not worth her attention. Her pro-player dad never acknowledged her. Her fiancé phone-dumped her from a game. And her mom's mental health relies on Millie’s curation of a hockey-free world. But now Millie's career is tanking, and desperate times call for a tall, ripped man with a big stick. Millie finds inspiration at an NHL charity gala: Alex Bradley. His leading man potential puts mullets and missing teeth to shame! But as it turns out, he's a recently retired hockey star. Millie should avoid him—even if he's working to reform everything she hates about the sport. Cracking Millie's writer's block unleashes an existential hockey metaphor on her life. In a scoreless first period, the lines between fiction and real-life blur. Things heat up in the second, especially her attraction to Alex. But after a hard hit in the third, Millie must make peace with her losses before she can write her own comeback.",
