A funny, flirty hockey romance packed with sizzling chemistry, sharp banter, and all the emotional chaos that comes from trying to keep things casual. Pucked Over blends laugh-out-loud moments with heartfelt vulnerability as two people convinced they don't want commitment discover that feelings have a way of changing the rules.

The Vibe

Lily LeBlanc is ready for a fresh start. After spending seven years trapped in an exhausting on-again, off-again relationship, she's determined to embrace a little fun instead of another serious commitment. Casual dating is completely outside her comfort zone, but with the encouragement of her best friend, she decides there's no better place to start than with her best friend's boyfriend's best friend.

NHL star Randy Ballistic has never had trouble separating sex from emotions. Known for his larger-than-life personality on and off the ice, Randy is more than happy to help Lily rediscover her confidence without any expectations attached. It seems like the perfect arrangement, until stolen moments turn into genuine connection and "no strings attached" becomes much harder to believe.

As attraction deepens into something neither of them planned for, Lily and Randy must decide whether protecting their hearts is worth risking the one relationship that finally feels right.
