USA Today Bestselling Author Britney Bell brings you a steamy, small-town hockey romance with a wild Vegas twist. Trip Campbell has three passions: the puck, the pasture, and avoiding commitment like a slapshot to the face. Splitting his time between the ice rink and a dusty ranch in Kissing Springs, he never expected his late grandfather to throw him the ultimate curveball—inherit a fortune… if he gets hitched within a year. What could go wrong? Drella Monroe: mortuary makeup artist by day, darkly magnetic enigma by night. When Trip belts out “Tainted Love” at a karaoke bar with more raw emotion than a country song on repeat, Drella is intrigued. One drink turns into an all-nighter. One wild idea turns into a weekend in Vegas. Suddenly, Trip’s got a ring on his finger, a stranger for a wife, and a ticking clock on his inheritance. However, the fine print has fine teeth—he has to stay married for a year. So when he moves into Drella’s rundown family farm, it’s less happily-ever-after and more crash-course in emotional chaos. She never wanted this life. He never wanted strings. But as the months go by and Trip starts mending more than just fences, the lines between fake and forever blur. He's fixing her home. She's healing his heart. And somewhere between chores, kisses, and plays on the ice, a real love starts to bloom. One-click now this spicy, swoony, and full of heart, Southern and Shutout is a Vegas-marriage romance with a gruff, golden-retriever hockey player, a fiercely independent heroine, and a love story you’ll root for long after the final buzzer.
