A Fighting Chance (Knockout Series)
A.J Nighthawke
by Elle Sprinkle
When Peyton Clarke's new student coach skates onto the Greenrock University ice, the last thing she expects is an instant, burning rivalry—or the terrifying realization that hatred and attraction feel dangerously similar when your heart is racing this fast.
Peyton has spent her entire college hockey career fighting to be seen as more than her father's daughter. As the women's team captain and daughter of an NHL legend, every goal she scores gets credited to genetics, every mistake amplified by expectation. She's built walls thick enough to stop any puck—and apparently, any person who tries to tell her what to do. So when a sharp-tongued student coach arrives with an opinion about absolutely everything Peyton does on the ice, the tension between them crackles louder than a slap shot off the boards.
Darcy Cole didn't plan on coming back to hockey. But here she is, armed with strategy, stubbornness, and a frustrating ability to see straight through Peyton's carefully constructed armor. The problem is, the more they clash, the harder it becomes to ignore what's simmering beneath all that friction.
From the bestselling author of *Puppy Love* comes a sapphic college hockey rom-com that proves the line between enemies and something much more complicated is exactly one inch wide—the width of a blade cutting through fresh ice.
These two are either going to crash or they're going to soar. Lace up and find out which.
