Overtime

By: Mari Loyal

When their overtime tutoring sessions take a romantic turn, can they beat the ticking clock until graduation?

The pressure is on to wow hockey recruiters for Aran’s senior year. But when his latest fling makes a scene in the middle of his team’s locker room, his coach is less than impressed. And that’s without Coach even knowing that Aran’s about to flunk an elective.

So Aran has a plan: step one, swear off girls for the rest of the season. Step two, do some overtime school work with the help of a tutor.

Insert Maddie. Even though there’s just a few months left of college, she’s desperate to move away from her fatphobic roommates, even if it means taking on more tutoring jobs at the expense of her budding author career. Rather, she’d prefer to start working on a hockey romance book that she can self-publish quickly. But there’s a problem: Maddie knows nothing about hockey—or about real life romance.

They strike a deal: Maddie agrees to tutor Aran in exchange for teaching her about the sport. All she needs to do is remember that a real-life romance is off the table.

Overtime is a dual POV closed door romance with mild language and plenty of heat without spice, perfect for those who enjoy their grumpy x sunshine with a dash of forced proximity, and grand gestures. It’s the second book in the St. Cloud Hockey Series and can also be read as a standalone.
