Pucking Sweet: An MMF Workplace Hockey Romance (Jacksonville Rays Book 3)

In the latest spicy novel in the internationally bestselling Jacksonville Rays hockey romance series, the lines between work and play get deliciously blurred—with very unplanned consequences . . .

My name is Poppy St. James and I’ve just landed my dream job as the Director of Public Relations for the NHL’s hottest new team, the Jacksonville Rays. But if I want to stay beyond my one-year contract, I’ll have to prove myself. Easy. PR is in my blood.

What’s not so easy are the hockey players. First, there’s party boy defenseman Lukas Novikov. I don’t care how well he plays hockey. Off the ice, he’s a PR nightmare. Managing this man is quickly becoming my full-time job.

Did I mention my wildly inappropriate crush on his fellow defenseman, Colton Morrow? He’s sweet and kind and might just be perfect for me…but he’s totally off limits. I don’t date my players. It’s enough work managing their messy private lives without becoming part of the story myself.

Everything changes the day my sister makes a devastating announcement. One phone call sends me spiraling…right into the arms of both my rival defensemen. And just like that, I’ve officially become my own PR crisis. Now I’m staring down at a little blue plus sign and I have no strategy, no idea what comes next. All I know is that nothing will ever be the same…for any of us.

PUCKING SWEET is book three in the USA Today and international bestselling Jacksonville Rays hockey romance series. The series begins with the spicy prequel novella THAT ONE NIGHT.
