I was supposed to be focused on hockey—training, drills, and proving myself on the ice. Not getting distracted by the girl watching from the sidelines. But the moment I see her, I’m done for. She’s not here for me—just tagging along while her friend interviews the new team owner. Still, from the second our eyes meet, I know I need more than just one conversation. She doesn’t know it yet, but I’m already planning my hat trick: 1. Make her laugh. 2. Get her number. 3. Convince her this isn’t just a summer fling. Scoring goals is my job. But winning her heart? That might be my biggest challenge yet. Hat Trick for Her Heart is a delightful prequel to the Romancing the Sun Kings Hockey Romcom series, with all the charm, chemistry, and sweetness you crave—no explicit scenes. If you’re a fan of unexpected summer love, first impressions that last, and a hero who plays for keeps, this one’s for you! This story features: A cinnamon roll hockey player A small-town teacher who’s sworn off dating A whirlwind romance A coastal setting with serious sunset vibes And plenty of locker room banter, best friend chats, and romantic feels Content Warning: This book contains a few mild swears but no on-page spice. It’s swoony, not steamy!
