Shattered (Bayside Bolts Book 1)

He's the arrogant hockey star who cost her everything—and now she's the only person standing between him and his career.

When sports publicist Mara Calloway is assigned to rebuild Garrett Flynn's reputation after his latest on-ice meltdown, she has exactly two choices: walk away from the biggest account of her career, or spend three months pretending she doesn't despise the man who destroyed her brother's shot at the NHL.

She chooses wrong.

Garrett is infuriating, reckless, and devastatingly difficult to hate up close. Behind the tabloid headlines and the signature smirk lives someone unexpectedly broken—someone who guards his wounds as carefully as Mara guards hers. The tension between them crackles like ice under pressure, sharp and dangerous and impossible to ignore.

But Mara didn't survive what she survived to fall for someone who could shatter her all over again. And Garrett has spent years convincing himself he doesn't deserve anything worth keeping.

They're both lying.

*Shattered* is a slow-burn, forced-proximity sports romance about two people who are better at fighting than feeling—until they aren't. It features electric banter, a hero who earns every inch of redemption, and a love story that will leave you breathless long after the final page.

Some things break you open. Some people are worth the risk.
