About this book

New York Times bestselling author Alexandra Moody's BookTok sensation DARLING DEVILS series is back with the most devilish Darling brother of all in a wholesome, banter-filled ice-hockey romance perfect for fans of Hannah Grace, slow-burn chemistry, and happily ever afters!

Enemies. Teammates. Something dangerously close to more . . .

Parker Darling is ready to take center ice, but the Ransom Devils' new coach already hates him for a dumb mistake Parker made years ago—with the help of that new coach’s daughter.

Kenzie Foster loves hockey. If only her hockey-coach dad hadn't forbidden her from playing—thanks to Parker Darling.

When the Devils’ goalie gets injured, Parker is determined to lead the team back to greatness. Kenzie, meanwhile, sees a wide-open net just waiting to prove her dad wrong.

Parker and Kenzie will need to work together to reach their goals—but does that mean risking another big mistake?

- Enemies to lovers: Parker and Kenzie are responsible for each other's biggest problems. But the reason they got into trouble in the first place was their chemistry—which is still too hot to ignore.
- Girl power: Parker Darling isn't the only hockey player in this story. You'll be rooting for Kenzie as she beats out the boys for the star goalie spot.
- Hockey romance galore: Fall in love with all four Darling siblings with the other books in the DARLING DEVILS series!
