Love is messy, but so worth it—let me show you why.
My Goalkeeper: A Fiery Haters-to-Lovers Hockey Romance Novel
He’s the captain of the men’s hockey team. She’s the goalkeeper no one expected. Together, they’re skating on thin ice.
Quinn Doss didn’t ask to join the men’s D1 hockey team. But when her own team gets sidelined, she steps up, determined to prove she belongs. Fierce, stubborn, and unapologetically herself, Quinn is ready to face every challenge—especially the team’s infuriating captain, Nicholas Brooks.
From the moment they met, Quinn hated him. Brooks is cocky, aloof, and everything she can’t stand. And worse? He doesn’t seem to care. Instead, he lets her bristling anger roll off him, meeting her fire with a calm confidence that only fuels her frustration.
But as sparks fly and tempers flare, their battles on and off the ice turn into something neither of them can control. And with a team rule that makes their growing chemistry a dangerous game, giving in could cost them both everything they’ve worked for.
She’s supposed to hate him. He’s not supposed to want her. But somewhere along the way, they’ll have to decide if love is worth breaking the rules.
My Goalkeeper is a fiery haters-to-lovers sports romance brimming with sharp banter, emotional depth, and a heroine who redefines what it means to be unstoppable.
