Hat Trick: Expanded 2026 Edition

By Kristen Hope Mazzola

She lost everything in one night.
He's the one man she was never supposed to want.

Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Hope Mazzola returns with a stunning, expanded edition of the novel that launched the beloved Shots on Goal hockey romance series.

When figure skater Myla Cox survives a devastating car crash that kills her mother and shatters her Olympic dreams, her world narrows to one thing:

Survival.

The ice that once defined her life now terrifies her.
The future she planned no longer exists.
And the only family she has left is her overprotective brother-pro hockey star-Brayden Cox.

So when she's forced back onto the ice, the last person she expects to collide with is Brayden's captain-Gavin Hayes.

Her brother's greatest rival.
The one man her brother told her to stay away from.
The one man she is absolutely off-limits to touch.

Gavin sees the broken pieces she hides from everyone else.
She sees the wounds he never lets anyone close enough to reach.

And every moment they spend together draws them closer to crossing the one line neither of them can afford to break.

Because loving him could cost her the only family she has left.
And losing her might destroy the last good thing he believes he deserves.
