Slap Shot Charm City Chill Hockey Romance

He's dangerous on the ice. Even more dangerous behind a keyboard.

Oliver "Chenny" Chenofski has two secrets: the real reason his service dog Charlie never leaves his side, and his past life as a ghost in digital systems. When a blackmail attempt threatened the Charm City Chill last season, Chenny risked everything to protect his team, using skills he swore he'd locked away for good. Now he just wants to play hockey and keep his head down during the off-season.

She was hired to find security threats. She never expected to find him.

Dr. Heather Quincy built her reputation taking down the world's most elusive hackers. As the new Head of Digital Security for the Chill's ownership group, she's there to patch vulnerabilities-not fall for the brooding defenseman whose digital fingerprints she recognized within her first week. The skills he's hiding could get him banned from the league. The demons haunting him could destroy them both.

Some shots you can't defend against.

When a shadowy threat from Chenny's past emerges from the darknet, targeting not just him but the entire team, he's forced to team up with the woman who could end his career. As they work together to neutralize the threat, the ice between them starts to melt, revealing something neither expected: a connection too powerful to deny.

But when saving the team means exposing his darkest secrets, Chenny will have to decide what he's willing to sacrifice-his hidden past or his future with Heather.

SLAP SHOT is the third standalone novel in the Charm City Chill hockey romance series.
