She found the half-second he was hiding. Now neither can afford to hesitate.
Alexei Volkov can read a shot before it leaves the stick. Lately, his body refuses to follow.
The Northbridge Wolves' star goaltender has spent fourteen months hiding a problem that could end his career—and alienating every coach who gets close enough to notice. When the team brings in Wren Cassidy, a sharp-eyed consultant with a whistle she never uses, Alexei expects another lecture.
Instead, she finds the half-second nobody else thought to look for.
Wren Cassidy knows what it means to lose everything to an injury. Now she's rebuilding her life as a goaltending coach, running six a.m. sessions and fighting to have her work recognized. The last thing she needs is the league's most infuriating goalie: arrogant, stubborn, dangerously attractive, and unexpectedly funny when nobody's watching.
He's also professionally off-limits.
But when Wren's discovery turns the Wolves organization upside down, she's removed from Alexei's program. The boundary keeping them apart disappears, and the chemistry they've been fighting finally catches fire.
Falling into bed is easy. Learning to trust each other is harder.
Because Alexei has spent his career protecting his place in the net, while Wren has spent hers trying to earn a place of her own. And when the truth threatens everything they've built, love won't be enough unless they're both willing to fight for it.
Goalie Problems is a standalone, high-heat MF hockey romance featuring a grumpy Russian goaltender, a fiercely independent heroine, sharp banter, forbidden attraction, praise kink, emotional vulnerability, and an earned happily ever after.
