Puck Proposal

My hockey career is on fire, so when my best friend from high school (and the girl I'd always want) shows up on my doorstep in trouble, I have a turn her away (not likely!) or propose. Back then, Josephine Baxter was the unattainable debutante who took pity on the kid from the wrong side of town.We were unlikely best friends. And she was the girl I'd never have. At least not like that.

Five years later, Joey shows up on my doorstep on the same day she's supposed to be getting married with a plea for help.

Of course, I take her in. And when her tight-laced, controlling parents show up, demanding she return and go through with the wedding?

I tell them we're engaged.

She's the girl I always wanted, the one who was always out of my league.

And now that she's here, wearing my ring and sleeping in my bed? It feels like destiny. But we both know it can't last.

Because guys like me never end up with the girl.

Puck Proposal is a full-length, standalone hockey romcom in the Wilcox Wombats series.
