The Blindside Game
A sassy friends-to-lovers surprise pregnancy hockey romance
He’s the pro hockey defenseman who guards the blue line. She’s his best friend who doesn’t believe in crossing that line. Then two pink lines change the whole game.
Kevin St. Clair has spent his entire pro hockey career anchoring the Austin Stampede’s defense, but he’s never been able to defend his heart against Sarah Townsend—the dog-rescue director who became his best friend, Ranger’s favorite human, and the woman he can’t stop wanting. When one unexpected pregnancy changes everything, Kevin is ready to show up. Sarah just has to decide whether forever is love…or obligation.
