About this audiobook

She was sixteen when the defenseman put her brother on a stretcher. Rowan Callaghan watched it happen from the stands. The hit that looked clean. The thud that sounded wrong. Finn's leg bent at an angle that closed her throat. She memorized the name on the back of that jersey. MacIntyre. She swore she'd hate the shape of it in her mouth forever. Years later, she's the analytics genius who keeps the numbers honest, three in the morning, alone in an empty arena, building the regression model that proves a certain player is a liability in the third period. That player is Declan MacIntyre. The same kid. The same scar through his eyebrow. The boy who ended her brother's career and never stopped seeing his face go still. Now the league has thrown them onto the same committee. Forced into the same room. The same flights. The same impossible proximity. And when a scandal threatens to swallow them both, the only way out is a lie they have to sell to everyone: a fake engagement to the one man she's spent her whole life learning to despise. The problem isn't pretending. The problem is how quickly it stops feeling like pretending. Then the secret they've buried claws its way to the surface, and Declan says the thing she's waited a decade to hear and dreaded just as long. "You think I don't replay it every single night? You think I don't know exactly what I took from you?" Now Rowan has to decide whether the enemy who broke her family is the only one who can help her heal it. And whether forgiveness is a betrayal of the brother she failed, or the only way to finally stop failing him. The data doesn't lie. But she's about to. Game Misconduct is a steamy, emotional enemies-to-lovers sports romance about a fake engagement, forced proximity, a haunted heroine, a grovel-worthy hero, a buried family tragedy, and the enemy who claimed her heart. Perfect for readers who love hockey romance, enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, forced proximity, slow-burn grovel, and emotional sports romance with a happy ending. A standalone with a hard-earned HEA.
