Twisted Wrister: A Next-Door-Neighbor Hockey Romance

He’s not looking for happily-ever-after. She’s not looking for a hockey player. Can love score a win, or will it get iced?


Blake Barrett, a twenty-four-year-old hockey star with a wicked wrist shot, is quickly rising to fame. Off the ice, his confidence lags, transforming him into a trivia-loving nerd. Scarred by his parents' disastrous marriage, he believes lasting love is a myth—until he meets his feisty new neighbor, Michaela Wagner, who also happens to be the woman his roommate plans to pursue.

 

Michaela, a driven real estate lawyer, has clawed her way to success in a prestigious firm, though her love life has suffered. Competing for a coveted account leaves little time for romance. But when Blake, the hunky hockey player next door, asks her for kissing lessons, she starts to rethink her priorities.

 

As Blake and Michaela grow closer, their blossoming romance hits an icy patch. Blake's family troubles resurface, reminding him every relationship is doomed to fail, while Michaela struggles with sabotage at work that threatens to undo all she’s strived for. A happy ending seems as elusive as a Stanley Cup win.

 

When loyalty faces off against desire, will their love survive the penalty box?
