Evan Abernathy is starting a new season with the Pittsburgh Riveters. This is his shot to prove he belongs in the big leagues, and he’s determined to make it count. There’s just one problem: his new linemate. Riley Barczyk is a league pest, seasoned brawler…and the guy who injured Evan last season. Evan sure hasn’t forgotten, but it seems Riley has. Now Riley’s offering to teach Evan how to fight. Worse, Evan could use the help. But all that one-on-one time with someone he can barely stand? That’s asking for trouble. It was supposed to be about learning to fight, not falling for the guy throwing the punches.

Ashley, pen name A.L. Heard, fandom name jhoom, is a 34 year old teacher, writer, and mother of two little boys. She’s been writing fanworks since she discovered ff.net back in her middle school days; the platform has changed and the writing’s improved, but Ashley ultimately still spends her free time writing about characters she adores in worlds she’d like to explore. Her first novel, Hockey Bois, was published in 2021. In between writing projects, she works as a language teacher in the Pittsburgh area, plays hockey, and plays trains with her sons.
