SECOND CHANCE PUCK
Emil
I’m back, baby. And this time, I’m here to stay. After a year in the NHL, I gave up my dream when family obligations and my girlfriend called me home to Sweden, but I’m over that…and her. I belong in the U.S., competing at the highest level of hockey, playing for the newest NHL expansion team, the Texas Tornadoes. And never again will I trust a woman to put our love first.
Hanna
Two years ago, I was too young and immature to move five thousand miles from everything and everyone I knew. Emil tried to make us work, but he wasn’t happy playing hockey in Sweden. So it’s my turn to move across the world. I’m ready to show him I can be brave and stand on my own. But my student housing at the university in Austin falls through at the last minute, and now, I’m on his doorstep, hoping he’ll give me a second chance to prove I’ll love him forever.

DANCES WITH PUCKS
Cam
Guarding the net is not my only goal.
While other players relax on the golf course, my off-season is spent in the ballroom. Dancing keeps me limber and the memory of my mom alive. My father dismissed hockey as a career and moved on to a new family. Joke’s on him. I’ve made it to the NHL, and I’ll clear close to a mil at age twenty-four. The only thing left on my life plan is a family, and I have my eye on the beautiful dance instructor who keeps me on my toes.
Christina
I prefer numbers to people. They’re far more predictable.
Numbers make sense; people don’t.
After a health issue ended my competitive ballroom dancing career, I took over management of my family’s financial empire. Then my brother insisted on bringing pro hockey to Austin, so here I am, co-owner of an NHL team and agreeing to give free financial advice to the players. When a friend needs help at her dance studio, the hottie taking private lessons is more tempting than a macro-enabled spreadsheet, until his headshot pops up on my brother’s hockey roster. Talk about a conflict of interest. Worse, he wants what I can’t give him—kids. Maybe just a fling…
Dances with Pucks is a workplace romance between two incredibly flexible people, which means things get steamy, stretched, and sometimes twisted. It introduces the Texas Tornadoes, the hottest, coolest expansion NHL team in hockey.
Tropes:
- pro hockey goalie
- ballroom dancing
- billionaire heroine
- workplace romance
- older woman / younger man
- wants kids / doesn’t
- secret romance
- competence p*rn

NET PUCKS AND CHILL
She’s failing One-Night Stand 101. Hockey has taught him that practice makes perfect. Game on.
Nicole
I identify as the Plain Jane of my friends group. They love me so they’d disagree, but after a miserable trip home to West Texas, I’m determined to break the mold. New year, new me. In between my job and working toward an MBA, I’m going to dress sexier, act sexier, and learn how to one-night stand without catching feelings.
Mathieu
I love my role as a left wing for the Texas Tornadoes. It helps that hockey—like most other things in life—comes naturally to me. Off the ice, I’m a free agent. I can do what I want, when I want, and with whom I want. I’ve met Nicole a few times. So when she tells me her New Year’s Resolution, I’m ready to score.
Tropes
- New year, new me
- One night stand on repeat
- Self-perceived ugly duckling
- Take on class difference
- “Good girl”
- Great sibling support

SPICY AS PUCK
Two career-driven leaders of the newest NHL team. His condo, her barely there robe, and a whole lot of hot sauce become a recipe for a simmering off-season.
Saylet
As a woman in a male-dominated industry, I need to stay on top of my game as PR Director for the Tornadoes. So when my apartment building loses electricity during the playoffs, I don’t make waves. But the alternative is exhausting—sneaking in and out of the players lounge to sleep. When I’m caught by the sexiest player on the team, he offers me his guest room—and even better, a place to cook. Now, I have to remind myself hourly that my career is more important than jumping his very-convenient bones.
Drew
My entire focus is on securing a long-term NHL contract, in order to provide stability for my grandmother who raised me. As alternate captain, I’m constantly looking for ways to prove myself worthy of the title. So when the prettiest member of management needs a place to stay, I offer without thinking. But her hot-as-hell cooking and her teeny tiny robe are distractions I can’t afford and struggle to resist. Maybe what happens in the off-season can stay in the off-season.
Tropes:
- Coworkers to lovers
- Both anti-relationship
- Forced proximity
- Cooks as self-comfort; food as a love language
- Both nurturers
- Secret romance

INTENTIONAL OFFSIDE
He’s an NHL defenseman struggling with his sexuality…and an obsession for an older divorced man. Given their work relationship, acting on his attraction would be an intentional penalty.
Kyle
I’ve always assumed I was bisexual, but as a professional hockey player I couldn’t test that theory. Women are a safe bet and easy to come by. But a random encounter rocks my world, because…I. Can’t. Be. Gay. To make matters worse, FML, my first man crush is on the one person I can’t be with.
Michael
Once upon a time, I enjoyed men’s and women’s company. Then I married and had kids. But hockey is a demanding mistress, and when an injury took me out and money became an issue, my wife walked out. Now, any sex is complicated with my teenaged daughter living at my house. When the guy I want is almost the same age as my daughter and looks like temptation on a hockey stick, it’s a whole other level.
