About this audiobook
Cole Dempsey still wears his dead wife's ring, taped to his thumb during every game.
Three years. Four goals on twenty-three shots. And a wall so high no one's ever climbed it.
The widower goalie. The comeback kid who never smiles and never breaks. The man who built his armor one save at a time after the night he woke to a voicemail from her mother.
Then Maya Caldwell shows up in the press box, watching him from the shadows.
A reporter chasing the one story nobody's gotten right. The daughter of the broadcaster who died on live television while Cole stopped a breakaway two minutes later — because the puck doesn't stop for grief.
She bet her career she could crack him open.
He told her to leave or he'd have her banned from the building.
"Follow me again," he warns, "and you're done."
"You can try," she says.
Neither of them backs down.
But the grumpy goalie and the relentless sunshine reporter are running from the same ghost — and the closer Maya gets to his story, the more she stops wanting to write it.
An old promise stands between them. A wound neither has let heal. And a truth that could end them both before the season does.
Now Cole has to choose: protect the net he's hidden behind for three years, or let the one person who sees him finally get through.
Five Hole is a steamy, emotional sports romance about enemies-to-lovers, a grumpy-sunshine pairing, an old flame, a grieving widower, a forbidden attraction, and a promise they swore they couldn't keep.
Perfect for readers who love hockey romance, enemies-to-lovers, grumpy-sunshine pairings, slow-burn grief-to-healing, and second chances at love. A standalone romance with a hard-won happily-ever-after.
