Love in the Penalty Box: A Sweet Hockey Instalove RomCom Short Read

Hockey hottie Chase Kingston doesn’t do love, but when a spilled latte introduces him to Daisy Montgomery, he’s ready to risk it all—on and off the ice.

Daisy:

Running Coffee Cabin is my dream, but between bills piling up and a corporate coffee giant breathing down my neck, my dream feels more like a ticking time bomb. The last thing I need is a distraction, especially one with a killer smile, golden retriever energy, and hockey celebrity status. But when Chase Kingston, the Blue Ridge Buffaloes right wing, struts into my shop and spills his coffee (and his charm) all over my carefully crafted window display, I wonder if love might be worth the risk.

Chase is everything I don’t have time for: cocky, persistent, and way too handsome for his own good. He’s also sweet, surprisingly thoughtful, and determined to help me save my shop—even if it means dressing up as a giant coffee bean mascot.

I know better than to fall for someone like him. He’s a professional hockey player with a life that’s bigger than Blue Ridge, and I’m just a small-town coffee shop owner trying to keep the lights on. But every smile, every kiss, every ridiculous gesture pulls me closer to him.

The problem is, falling for Chase feels like getting put in the penalty box. And when the season starts and he’s gone, will I be left standing alone? Or is he serious when he says he’s in this—penalties and all—for the long haul?

Love in the Penalty Box is a laugh-out-loud, heartwarming small-town romance about spilled coffee, second chances, and finding the courage to risk it all…for love.

Trigger warnings: This book is full of hot kissing, hot coffee, and body positivity from a plus-sized heroine. Read at your own pleasure!
