About this ebook

As a star left-winger for the Pittsburgh Titans, Atlas Karolak thrives on the ice but keeps his personal life uncomplicated. That all changes when tragedy strikes, pushing him into an unlikely partnership that tests his patience, challenges his heart, and threatens to rewrite everything he thought he knew about love and family.

 

Playing professional hockey wasn’t just a dream, it was the only one that ever mattered. I’ve worked my whole life for this career, and now that I’m playing for the Pittsburgh Titans, I’m exactly where I want to be. My life feels complete.

Until the day it doesn’t.

Losing my best friend to cancer shatters me in ways I didn’t see coming. And as I’m trying to figure out how to say goodbye, I’m blindsided again—because he’s named me and Maddie St. James as joint guardians of his daughter.

Maddie and I… we’re not friends. We’re barely acquaintances. If I’m oil, she’s water, and we’ve never managed to mix without friction. But for the sake of a little girl who’s already lost too much, we need to find neutral ground and figure out how to co-parent.

Are we capable? I’d like to think so. Are we scared out of our minds? Without a doubt. Can we put our differences aside and work together? Honestly, it depends on the day. But when stress turns into stolen glances, which turn into nights we can’t take back, our partnership gets a whole lot more complicated.

Because what started as obligation is starting to feel a lot like forever.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed this heartfelt and sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance. Both Pittsburgh Titans player, Atlas Karolak, and Maddie St. James, were best friends with single dad, Grey. Grey wanted both Atlas and Maddie to raise his baby girl Grayce together, after his passing. The problem is, they don't even like each other, but they will do anything for his adorable daughter. They challenged each other, but are always there for each other when they needed it, with sizzling chemistry.

ATLAS is the 19th book in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult PITTSBURGH TITANS erotic, hockey romance series .This is winger Atlas Karolak, and social worker Maddie St. James’ storyline. ATLAS is a story of grief and loss, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is emotional, dramatic and intense; the characters are determined and charismatic- Maddie St. James pushed all of my buttons. The romance is seductive and fated.
