Coastal Crushers

A sexy grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, hockey romance from bestselling author, Kara Kendrick

He’s the grumpy captain with everything to lose. She’s the PR problem he didn’t ask for.

Hockey is my life. Always has been.

As captain of the team, I’ve built my career on discipline, loyalty, and laser focus.

But after a scandal tanks the franchise’s image, the owner relocates us to Driftwood Cove, a small sleepy Florida beach town.

New name, new strategy.

And a bubbly PR consultant hired to clean up the mess.

Harbor Hayes.

She’s sunshine in a bottle. Bright, blonde and opinionated. Worse—she knows hockey. And exactly how to get under my skin.

We clash from day one and I’m torn between wanting her gone and wanting every inch of her body underneath mine.

The longer we work together, the harder it is to pretend she doesn’t affect me.

When lines blur behind closed doors, we make a deal.

Three rules:

No feelings. No falling. No future.

Until one reckless moment leaks in a viral video.

Now I’m not just leading the team–I’m at the center of a brand-new scandal.

One that could destroy everything.

Especially the woman I swore I’d never fall for.
