Pucking Surprise for the Grumpy Captain is a sizzling, slow burn standalone hockey romance featuring forced proximity, mistaken identity, and a grumpy hockey star who falls first and hard.

The grumpy hockey captain wanted a lucky tattoo.
He got lucky, alright—and now I’m pregnant with his baby.

One tattoo.
Then the rookie has the game of his life.
Now the whole team is convinced I'm their good luck charm.

I’m used to high-profile clients and new skylines every few months.
No roots. No regrets. No staying.

But then Jack Hathaway walks into my studio—grumpy, gorgeous, with a stare that unravels me.
And keeps coming back…
For more ink.
For more excuses.
For more of me.

Heated glances turn into touches I can’t resist.
Stolen kisses become nights where he worships every inch of me.
Slow. Devouring. Endless.

I spent my life running from anything real…
And just when I let myself fall for the one man who finally feels like home—
Paris calls, offering everything I’ve always wanted…on the other side of the world.

He gave me his heart without knowing I was carrying something more—
and I don’t know if I want to let that go.
