Pucking Around A Why Choose Hockey Romance (Jacksonville Rays, Book 1) Emily Rath

Pucking Around launches the internationally bestselling Jacksonville Rays Hockey Series with a sizzling story of romance and professional challenges. Rachel Price, a dedicated physical therapist, walked away from the perfect man two months ago after a magical, no-strings-attached night. To her surprise, Mr. Perfect turns out to be a playboy grinder for the Jacksonville Rays, the NHL’s hottest new team—and her new patient. Worse, he doesn’t even recognize her.

Determined to prove herself during her ten-month fellowship, Rachel faces multiple challenges: Mr. Perfect Mistake’s relentless attempts to win her over, his best friend—the surly new equipment manager—constantly riding her case, and an uncooperative goalie hiding an injury. Navigating these obstacles, Rachel is resolute in her goal to succeed professionally and not risk her career for romance.

Yet, as secrets unravel and unexpected nights unfold, Rachel finds herself torn between her resolve and the affections of three irresistible men. Pucking Around is a spicy ‘why choose’ hockey romance that tests the boundaries of love and ambition.
