Love in Maple Falls

Yeah…no one warned me about those.MabelReturning to Maple Falls wasn't part of my five-year plan-or my backup plan. Or any plan, really.

No, I don't want to talk about it.)When my editor sends me to cover the NHL's shiny new team, the Ice Breakers, I'm all in-until I meet Asher Tremblay. He's their too-charming defenseman with a knack for wrecking my focus and my sanity. Equal parts infuriating and irresistible, but falling for him? Not on my agenda. Nope.AsherI've worked my whole life to make it in the NHL.

She's fire and chaos, and I've spent my whole life playing it safe. Maybe she's exactly what I need. I came to Maple Falls to chase my dream, but now all I want is her.***Checking Mr. Wrong is part of the Love in Maple Falls sweet hockey romcom multi-author series.
