Part of Series

A funny and spicy brother’s best friend hockey romance about falling in love with the right person at the wrong time. Alice and Jordan are meant to be. Everyone knows it. Everyone except for Alice and Jordan, that is. After years of secretly pining after one another, a winter storm is just the catalyst needed to bring them together. And yet, their relationship is a short-lived one, as Jordan gets traded to another team across the country, leaving a heartbroken Alice behind. After a career ending injury and a gruesome recovery, Jordan returns to Grand Marquee as an assistant coach for the Manticores, and finds himself living across the hall from Alice. It would be perfect if only for the fact that she wants nothing to do with him. She would much rather focus on her career and use her free time to hone her craft as a romance writer. Is it just a temporary set back, or is it a Delay of Game? Delay of Game is the third book in the Grand Marquee Manticores series of interconnected standalones.
