He’s my cousin Maverick’s best friend, and by trick of fate, my new roommate.
But just because he caught me when I fell off the “Welcome Back” parade float in my International Princess crown doesn’t mean he’s a hero.
I know him better than that.
Hayden “Haddy” Bradford is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
She’s a princess, a brilliant scientist… And she hates me.
Until a purple-drink-fueled Halloween hook-up changes both of our lives.
It’s something I’ve wanted a long time, but I never dreamed I’d have it with her.
Still, I’m the master of high-risk, high-reward plays, and I’ll do what it takes to show her I’m not the man she thinks I am.
I’m there for her every step of the way, supporting, holding her hand, doing my best to show her my true self.
I told her I’d catch her when she falls, but no one is catching me—and I’m falling fast.
I’m headed straight into the offensive zone. Everything I want is at stake, but I’m committed to this puck battle, and I intend to win.
(PINCH is a hockey romance with enemies to lovers, roommates to lovers, a cocky bad-boy Hero, a sassy STEM/pageant-princess FMC, an accidental pregnancy, foster dogs, family, and loads of spicy fun. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)
