Top Shelf Stud: An Enemies-to-Lovers, STEM-Hockey Romance (Chicago Players)

About this book

Franky St. James is a brilliant scientist whose expertise in the world of gastropods is matched only by her meticulous approach to life. When she decides she is ready for motherhood but not for a husband, she turns to a carefully curated list of potential sperm donors. The one person she immediately disqualifies is Jason Isner, a professional hockey player for the Chicago Rebels and her long-standing childhood nemesis. She has always pegged him as arrogant and dim-witted, making him the absolute last candidate for her life plan. However, Jason has his own secret dream: he longs for fatherhood and is determined to be a present, active parent rather than just a donor. When he steps up to help Franky, their arrangement quickly spirals beyond a simple medical transaction. As they navigate this unconventional path together, the walls between them begin to crumble, challenging Franky’s cynical hypotheses about jocks and relationships. Featuring the beloved enemies-to-lovers trope, *Top Shelf Stud* is a steamy, heartwarming story that proves the most unexpected pairings often make the best families. Jason is determined to show Franky that he is more than just a player, and that their chemistry is far more complex than any scientific study.
