Children's librarian Allison Warrant is done with hockey players. After her ex used her to get close to her legendary grandfather's memorabilia collection, she's content with her books and carefully ordered life. But when a snowstorm forces her to accept help from her new neighbor—who turns out to be Kane Norris, captain of the struggling Charm City Chill—her resolve starts to crack like ice in the playoffs. Kane has enough problems. His team's on a fifteen-game losing streak, and the media's suggesting his first season as captain might be his last. The last thing he needs is a distraction, even one who reads stories with different voices and stress-bakes at midnight. When Allison accidentally brings her grandfather's Olympic lucky puck to a game, everything changes. The team's fortunes reverse overnight, and suddenly their apartment complex becomes hockey central, complete with ballet-dancing players and lucky-charm-knitting neighbors. As the Chill climb the standings and their connection deepens beyond superstition, Kane and Allison must decide what matters maintaining the streak or risking their hearts on something that has nothing to do with luck. Sometimes the perfect play isn't about luck—it's about being brave enough to take the shot. My Athlete Neighbor by USA Today Bestselling author Jamie K. Schmidt is perfect for fans who love their sports romance with a side of superstition, found family, and chemistry that would melt the zamboni.
