About this listen
He's hockey's bad boy spending time in the penalty box of life. She's the heart of their charming small town. Opposites don't just attract—they combust.
Jake "The Hammer" Riley might be famous for his fists and skill on the ice, but after one too many public brawls, he's been exiled to the snowy, remote town of Pinebridge, Minnesota. He's counting down the days, resigned to hockey purgatory, until he crashes—literally and figuratively—into the town's quiet librarian, Eleanor Vance.
Nora guards her peaceful world and meticulously organized library like a fortress. Jake, with his simmering anger and NHL-sized ego, is everything she avoids. Yet, she can't deny the vulnerability she glimpses beneath his gruff exterior, nor the unwelcome sparks that fly whenever he's near.
Forced together by quirky small-town events and a connection neither expected, their icy clashes melt into undeniable heat. Jake finds himself captivated by Nora's sharp wit and quiet strength, wondering if this "penalty box" might actually feel like home. But can Nora trust her heart to a man whose past is plastered all over the news, especially when the bright lights he left behind threaten to call him back?
Curl up with this steamy grumpy-sunshine romance set against a cozy winter backdrop. Filled with witty banter, emotional depth, fiery chemistry, and small-town charm, Penalty Box Bound proves that sometimes the greatest saves happen off the ice. Guaranteed HEA.

Story
She was supposed to be off-limits. Now she’s carrying everything I swore I’d never have again. I buried my wife—and the baby I never got to meet—six years ago. Since then, I’ve kept my hands clean, my heart locked, and my rules unbreakable. Until Ally. She’s too young. Too soft. Too dangerously tempting. And she works under me in the NICU. I should’ve kept my distance. Instead, I kissed her. Took her virginity. Lost my mind. Now I can’t stop. She’s light where I’m darkness. Innocent where I’m wrecked. And every time she smiles at me, I start to believe in second ...

Perfect control meets perfect chaos. Simple, right? Except Derek isn't just a sullen athlete. He's infuriatingly... ...

My life's defined by my long career as a quarterback. I'm determined to have a great season because I'm not sure how many I have left. But when I slam into gorgeous reporter Kelsey Cole on the sidelines, my focus on the game takes a backseat to my fascination with her. She's tiny, smart, fierce, and makes me feel young again. There's only one problem: she hates football—with good reason, too. Still, you don't become a champion quarterback without learning how to fight for what you want. Football's always come first, but Kelsey might be the one to change that.
