Teammates: A Forced Proximity Hockey Romance (Tampa Talons)

Lila

There’s nothing worse than pretending to be friends with a man you really don’t like.

But as the Tampa Talons team reporter and social media coordinator, I strive for excellence in my job, even if it means I have to smile on camera at Hudson Jones, the hockey player who’s convinced I’m the complete opposite of professional.

When a natural disaster forces us to be roommates, things between us should get worse. But they slowly head in a heart-warming direction I don’t expect.

Am I falling for the man I really don’t like?

Hudson

I’m the team captain, so I take my role seriously. I look out for my fellow players. I work hard on the ice.

One person thinks otherwise, though—the reporter I have to pretend to like for the cameras. That I have to share a condo with after disaster strikes our city.

I try to keep out of Lila Stewart’s way in our shared space. Try to keep her out of my mind. But I’m too aware of this woman, too drawn to everything about her.

I shouldn’t fall for her, but I’m fighting a losing battle and losing hard.

Teammates is a spicy, forced proximity hockey romance with enemies to lovers, grumpy sunshine and a guaranteed happily ever after.
