Book Overview
A Connecticut Commodores Novel
Nica Solance has made a career out of being seen.
The lashes. The extensions. The filters. Online, she's "Mrs. Quentin Paris." Loud, confident, and always ready with an opinion. Nobody needs to know the woman behind the screen is broke, terrified of being ordinary, and waiting for someone to realize she doesn't belong.
Then she almost hooks up with a stranger at her favorite hockey player's wedding.
She definitely doesn't expect to see him at the rink.
Ryan Molloy is perfectly happy being the Connecticut Commodores' backup goalie. He's a data nerd, a devoted Corgi dad, and so uninterested in attention that even a hockey-obsessed influencer doesn't recognize him.
Then an injury puts Ryan in the crease, and the backup nobody was watching starts dominating in net.
The team wants buzz around their new starter. Nica gets hired to write his story.
This should be easy.
Instead, they're awkward, wildly attracted, and getting dangerously good at seeing through each other. Nica helps the reluctant star find his confidence and embrace the spotlight. Ryan makes her feel sexy, wanted, and worthy without asking her to become anyone but herself.
Which is terrifying when they've both spent years wondering whether they're good enough.
Nica knows how to sell a version of herself people want. Ryan knows how to be the guy nobody expects much from. Falling for each other means finding out who they are when they stop hiding.
And maybe discovering they were worth believing in all along.

"This book has all the fun AND hits you in the feels. Issues like imposter syndrome and financial independence make it a fairytale with very real themes."
