Taking His Shot

When professional hockey player Jordie wins a date with the sharp-tongued, stunning Harper at a charity auction, he thinks he's scored the easiest win of his career — until she makes it crystal clear that she'd rather sit through a penalty shootout than spend an evening with him.

Harper has one unbreakable rule: she doesn't date athletes. She's seen how that story ends, and she refuses to be another jersey-chaser on some cocky hockey star's roster. So when Jordie turns on the charm with that infuriating, disarming smile of his, she's not impressed. She's annoyed. Deeply, inconveniently annoyed.

But Jordie didn't get to the top of his game by giving up when things get difficult, and Harper is a challenge he can't resist. What begins as one obligatory charity date quickly turns into a battle of wills neither of them expected to lose. He's relentless, surprisingly genuine, and frustratingly easy to talk to. She's brilliant, fiercely independent, and absolutely determined not to fall for him — which, of course, makes falling for him all the more inevitable.

Set against the fast-paced, high-energy world of professional hockey, *Taking His Shot* delivers laugh-out-loud banter, slow-burn tension, and a romance that proves the biggest risks often come off the ice. With two perfectly matched personalities constantly sparring for the upper hand, the real question isn't whether Harper will let her guard down — it's whether either of them will survive long enough to find out.
