Faceoff

By: Mari Loyal

Sparks fly when hockey rivals face off, but can they win the game of love if their teams hate each other?

The days in Luz’s hockey career are numbered after an accident years ago left her with chronic pain. Playing at the new women’s team of her jock-hating ivy league college is her last chance, and getting named captain means that she can’t afford any distractions.
That is until her meet-disaster with Max, the new men’s hockey team captain, leads to their teams declaring war on each other.
Even if his massive Italian family doesn’t recognize it, Max is one of those once-in-a-generation talents, and he plans to focus on nothing but hockey to wow them. But when a snobby professor pairs him with Luz for a project, she starts to become the one distraction he can’t shake.

Faceoff is a first person dual POV closed door romance with mild language and plenty of heat without spice, perfect for those who enjoy their rivals to lovers with a dash of forced proximity, and no 3rd act breakups. It’s the first book in the St. Cloud Hockey Series and can also be read as a standalone.
