High Sticking The Heart

No last names, no phone numbers, no job titles… Ariella Contreras doesn’t have time for distractions.

She’s fought hard for her independence, determined to break free from cultural tradition, family expectations, and anything that could derail her career. So when a tall, cowboy hat-wearing Texan with Wranglers tight enough to test the strongest will begs her to pose as his fake date to dodge an ex? She should’ve stuck to her first instinct and told him to get lost.

Because the man she was never supposed to see again? Turns out he’s Dalton Langley, star player for the hockey team she’s just been hired to coach on… and the son of her new boss.

Now, with her job under scrutiny and the team owner watching her every move, walking away from the charade isn’t an option. To protect her position, Ariella has to keep up the act. At least until she proves she belongs on this team because of her performance, not because of who she’s dating.

Dalton’s plan this season is simple: stay out of the tabloids, stay focused, and definitely don’t get involved with anyone. Especially not the new strength coach who challenges him at every turn and makes him feel like he's more than just a headline.

What was supposed to be one night of fake dating is quickly spiraling into something neither of them saw coming. The lines between real and fake begin to blur, and walking away might end up hurting like a High Stick to the Heart.

High Stick to the Heart is a spicy fake-dating, Hockey sports romance featuring laugh-out-loud banter, a fiercely independent heroine, and a Texan who is so down bad he will make you blush.
