Kissing Last Period: A high-heat enemies-to-lovers hockey romance with a veteran forward, a sports doctor, the coach's daughter and forbidden workplac (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798190726541)

Sports doctor Frances McKenzie has spent years proving she earned her authority, not inherited it from the coach she calls her father.

Veteran forward Ruairi Lucitt has spent just as long proving that pain, age, and one difficult season cannot make him less valuable.

Their arguments are legendary. Their attraction is the secret neither of them is willing to name.

When Frances discovers that Ruairi has hidden an injury for six days, she removes him from the lineup. Minutes later, an edited video of their confrontation goes viral with one irresistible question:

How long before Grayhaven's favourite enemies finally kiss?

Suddenly, a medical decision becomes public entertainment. Reporters question Frances's integrity. Ruairi's final seasons become a debate. And the attraction they have protected with years of sharp banter becomes impossible to ignore.

They follow every professional rule before crossing the line.

But rules cannot protect them from stolen medical records, edited private conversations, intrusive cameras, and a media campaign determined to turn their relationship into evidence.

Frances must defend the career she built without making herself smaller.

Ruairi must learn that protecting her does not mean standing in front of her. It means trusting her enough to stand beside her.

And both must decide whether love can survive when the entire hockey world believes it owns their story.

Kissing Last Period is a high-heat enemies-to-lovers hockey romance featuring a veteran player, a brilliant sports doctor, the coach's daughter, forbidden workplace attraction, public scandal, sharp banter, emotional vulnerability and a deeply earned happily ever after.
