Pucking Around by Emily Rath (Paperback)

Rachel Price thought she’d left her perfect night behind—no names, no strings, just unforgettable chemistry. But fate has other plans. When she starts her new job as a physical therapist for the Jacksonville Rays, the NHL’s hottest rising team, she discovers her mystery man is none other than their star player—and he’s determined to win her back.

Between managing his charm, an overprotective best friend, and a stubborn goalie hiding an injury, Rachel’s dream fellowship turns into a test of patience, strength, and self-control. Every day brings her closer to breaking the one rule she swore to follow: never fall for a player.

But hockey isn’t the only game being played. As tensions heat up on and off the ice, Rachel finds herself caught between three men who challenge her in very different ways. They push her boundaries, steal her focus, and threaten to melt the professional distance she’s worked so hard to keep.

Ten months. One team. Three irresistible players.
Love was never part of her game plan—but sometimes, the heart refuses to stick to the rules.

“Pucking Around” is a steamy, addictive “why choose” hockey romance that blends sharp banter, emotional depth, and fiery chemistry in equal measure.
