In the Final Whistle: A Second Chance Hockey Romance

By EDEN BLACKWELL

Roman "Stone" Volkov thinks he's ready for his last game: one more night in the crease, one more roar from the crowd, then darkness. What he isn't ready for is finally wanting something more than hockey-his team doctor, Elara Bennett.
For three seasons they've buried the heat between them under taped ankles, rebuilt knees, and strict professional lines. But when Elara is offered the coveted top job at a Zurich institute-and Roman quietly becomes the key investor in her future back in Blackridge-every choice tangles their careers, their reputations, and their hearts.
A leaked tunnel photo, a league investigation, and a ruthless media cycle turn their private feelings into public controversy. Suddenly, every touch is evidence, every decision a headline, and every offer comes with a condition: protect the work, or protect each other.
Trapped in a snowed-in arena with rookies, regrets, and too many what-ifs, Roman and Elara have one night to answer the only question that matters now-what do they truly owe their team, their dreams... and themselves?
