Never Date A Hockey Player (Breakouts & Baddies)

By: Jarica James

Roxie was hired to fix the North Crossing Narwhals reputation, not find a pack.

After a scandal tore the Narwhals apart, the team owner calls in Roxie to observe the team and show the world they've changed. She promises to give the world an unbiased view of them, giving the good and the bad, while staying true to her journalist style.

The head coach is not happy to have her there, and the team is uneasy at first. Thanks to her sass and level-headed approach, she quickly finds her place among the team and realizes her job won't be as difficult as she thought.

But her life is nothing if not dramatic. Her new roommate just happens to be a scent-match. Two players on the team make it known she's theirs. And that head coach? It doesn't take long for him to realize how big of a mistake he made pushing her away.

Now Roxie is navigating a world she never thought she'd belong in and a pack that's everything she's ever needed... and everything she's terrified to trust.

Can they prove that some families are chosen, not blood, or will Roxie let a lifetime of disappointment keep her from the one thing she's always wanted?
