Rule #1: Never Accidentally Marry Your Teammate
By Portia Blake

Hockey Rules, Book 1

I might have a reputation for partying, but I’ve outdone myself. After drunkenly proposing to my new teammate, Noah, during a wild night out in Vegas, I wake up with a ring on my finger, a husband by my side, and a colossal PR nightmare.

The team’s management is furious, and the only way to salvage our careers is to pretend the marriage was intentional. Noah plays along like a pro, and I move him into my Boston penthouse. He just got called up from the AHL, and I might cost him everything.

We’re stuck together for at least a year, navigating public appearances and hockey playing and living together. In fact, this so doesn’t feel like pretend. But obviously, that’s impossible: we’re both straight. Aren’t we?

Excerpt:

It’s going to be fine.

I need to close my eyes again, and this annoyingly lucid dream will shift.

There is absolutely no way I am in bed with Noah Fitzpatrick. People just sent up from the AHL don’t room with first-line players.

Which means I’m having a dream about being in bed with Noah Fitzpatrick, which isn’t hugely advantageous.

Obviously, it’s not like I’m gay or anything. I’m a hockey player.

I close my eyes and wait for the dream to change. It doesn’t.

I can still hear breathing, still feel the soft mattress and softer sheet against my sweaty skin, still smell a cologne not my own. Memories of a night that couldn’t possibly have happened barrage my mind. I came here to play Vegas, not to venture into a pink chapel that has always been the punchline in comedies.

The dream isn’t changing.

I decide this path isn’t working. I flip around, and he’s there. Short dark hair, a freckled nose that is the perfect amount of straight and curved, long black lashes, and green eyes that…

My heart sprints.

Green eyes that are looking straight at me.

“This isn’t a dream,” I say.

“Why would…” Noah’s voice rumbles, last night’s alcohol giving it a husky, roughened edge I shouldn’t find appealing, and his sleepy eyes widen. “Oh, shit.”

I nod eagerly. He gets it.

Noah scrambles from his side of the bed, causing the mattress to bounce, and I swear he’s not wearing anything. His shoulders are wide and sturdy, formed from years of dedication. My gaze temporarily drifts downward, past his six-pack, to a set of V-shaped muscles that aren’t supposed to look interesting. He yanks the sheet from the bed, and I roll away, letting him wrap the silky fabric around himself. Now he looks like a sleepy-eyed toga-wearing frat boy. I pull the blanket over me because copying his pose would be strange, and my body doesn’t realize this so isn’t the time for morning wood.

“Did we—?” Noah can’t finish the sentence. I won’t finish it for him. The words don’t feel right coming out of my mouth, even though I know how he wants to end it.

Hockey Rules 0.5: Never Crush On The Captain

The unwritten rule in hockey? Never crush on the captain.

Too bad I’m failing at that.

Single dad Evan McAllister is our adored team captain, attractive, and my all-around amazing former best friend. Oh, he’s straight too. That’s less of a positive for me. I’ve been distancing myself to smother my feelings, but that’s only confused him and totally hasn’t worked.

When a concussion leaves Evan needing care, I step in to help him and his daughter Stella. Evan’s not thrilled with me barging back into his life after I ghosted him, and the more we’re thrust into intimate circumstances, the harder it is for me to keep from blurting my secret.
