Hockey can be all consuming. A lifelong passion, a career built on harder and harder battles. And then one day, he sees her. And everything is changed, forever.

The Off the Ice series is a collection of romances where he falls first and he falls hardest. It’s see, want, take wrapped in a spicy, smutty, blanket of kindness and understanding. He pursues her hard, but he tries even harder to understand what she needs. What she wants. What will make her deeply, deeply happy.

It’s also my love letter to Hamilton, Ontario, the city where I was born ,and where I returned eighteen years later to go to university. It’s where I became an adult and where I lived when I got married. This city deserves an NHL team! But until it gets one in real life, it now has one in fiction: the Hamilton Highlanders.
