Blind Pass

Nora Whitlock has spent eleven years making sure nobody can say she got anything she didn't earn. It hasn't worked. Her father owns the Hartford Hounds, and every general manager in the league assumes he built her roster.

Cal Mercer is the best agent in the northeast and the most irritating man she has ever sat across a desk from. He peels clementines in one unbroken spiral while he talks, and by the time the peel comes off, he has taken her parking space, her lunch and a clause she swore to keep.

Then her father announces a charity tour: four states in midwinter, five cities, co-funded and co-run by the two of them. One bus. Nora builds a forty-three-item itinerary to keep them in separate rows. Cal replies with one word: no.

A seat mix-up, a hotel with adjoining rooms, a detour to a union-hall rink in Maine and a Vermont blizzard later, there is one room left at a farmhouse inn, one bed, and a quilt somebody's grandmother made. By morning they've agreed it didn't happen. Neither of them believes it.

But the trade deadline is coming, one of Cal's clients is on the block, and Nora is about to make the biggest decision of her career with the one conflict she can't afford sitting in the middle of it.

Blind Pass is a dual-POV, enemies-to-lovers, only-one-bed workplace romance about a general manager, an agent and the terms two very competitive people set for falling in love. Open door, not explicit. Sharp, funny, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Book four of the Hartford Hounds Hockey series. Every book is a standalone romance with a new couple.
