Theo

By Victoria Denault

I don't deserve a second chance at hockey, or a first chance with Lola. I'm taking both anyway.

Theo
It took falling off a roof and doing catastrophic damage to my family, my body and my career, but I'm sober -and want to stay that way. My future is bleak until, out of nowhere, I'm given a second chance to be a hockey player. Problem is, I don't know how to be a sober hockey player. I don't know how to do anything sober. The last thing I expected, on top of everything else, was to trauma-bond with Lola Casco, the beautiful sister of not one but two of my teammates.
Her bold smile, her sweet laugh, her sometimes brutal honesty - it's apparently what turns on sober me. But good things aren't meant for me, I don't deserve them, and Lola is the best of the best. So I should walk away. Do I have the guts to do it?

Lola
I used to think I had the worst luck with men, but after the last guy, I'm beginning to think it's not luck -it's me. I attract all the wrong men... except Theo. He's one of the good guys. So when he needs a little help getting his confidence back in the bedroom, I volunteer as tribute. This is just be a friend helping a friend -no strings. So why can't I stop thinking about him? Can I get him to realize that he may not be perfect, but he's perfect for me?

Theo is a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers, heartfelt hockey romance. This love story is full of swoon-worthy romantic moments, laugh-out-loud family drama, and sprinkled with small town vibes with a wee bit of angst.
