About this ebook

Her hunky, tattooed star forward was supposed to admit defeat this time.

He was supposed to follow her rules.

Not charm his way onto the cover of her upcoming cookbook.

An enemies-to-lovers Christmas hockey romance about a charming star forward, his team's fiesty and bookish dietician, and their festive rivalry that might just turn into love.

Athena Gavras has a bone to pick with hottie hockey player Chadwick Raul Mullens. He shrugs off her prescribed dietary plans with that stupid, sexy smile that makes her knees shaky, calls her Tina just to annoy her, and—worst of all—has somehow convinced her publisher he belongs on the cover of her new cookbook and as part of her online cooking show.

He’s infuriating. He’s arrogant. And he’s far too handsome for her precarious sense of sanity.

Chad Mullens might act like a carefree player, but beneath the tattoos and teasing grin is a man with secrets—and a serious crush on the team’s fiery nutritionist. When she cuts him from her client list right before Christmas, effectively benching him from games, he’s determined to win her back… with charm, persistence, and maybe a hot and unforgettable kiss that could set off the sprinklers in her test kitchen.

Fall in love with the banter in this heartwarming enemies-to-lovers hockey romance set in small-town Sweetheart Creek, Texas. The Huckleberry Bookshop is part of the Hockey Sweethearts clean romance series but can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Perfect for fans of:

• Enemies to lovers

• Christmas small-town romance

• Alpha heroes & curvy heroines

• Closed-door, slow-burn love stories

Ratings and reviews

Chad Mullens has gotten under Athena’s skin from day one when he made fun of her recipe and diet plan. He continues to act like a child around her hiding his attraction but his actions cause many of the other hockey players to not take her seriously. Chad has secrets that soften him when they are revealed and he does work hard to redeem himself and save Athena’s career, but it still hard to get past the first impression of him.

The fifth book in the Hockey Sweethearts series. Team dietician Athena Gavras and hockey player Chadwick Raul Mullens' story is an enemies to lovers romance.
