Shutout

By: Mari Loyal

Are they playing the only game they can both win by shutout, or are they about to lose each other forever?

Liv would rather hang out with her boyfriend or stay home making new recipes to the tune of hard rock jams. But her friends convince her to stop being such a black cat and go to a party with them. Then they get there and find Liv’s boyfriend making out with a random girl.
To make matters worse, the one who confronts her now ex is none other than Brooklyn—the hockey captain, golden retriever extraordinaire, and her former best friend… who has no idea of the major crush Liv had on him basically all her life, especially after their fallout last year.
Brooklyn wants to seize the chance to get back in Liv’s good graces. What better opportunity than fulfilling the promise they made freshman year of signing up for a Spanish elective together?
But just as they’re getting closer again—more than ever—a huge offer that could kickstart Brooklyn’s hockey career with a bang forces him to choose between hockey and Liv.

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