Author Description

Mallory Quince has her hands full, balancing a demanding career as the Hellblades’ newest athletic trainer, keeping her messy dating life in check, and avoiding any and all complications. Especially the kind that come with charming hockey players who wear their hearts (and their glasses) on their sleeves.<br/>Jaymie Prescott, star winger and secretly sweet nerd, isn’t Mallory’s type. He’s too genuine, too thoughtful, too… distracting. But after a flirty elevator ride and a shared dinner, he’s suddenly everywhere—on the training table, in her apartment building, and, unintentionally, in her life in a much bigger way.<br/>When a one-time mistake leads to a life-altering surprise, Jaymie doesn’t run, he shows up with orange juice, almond cookies, and a steady hand when Mallory needs it most. Through late-night texts, growing feelings, and the chaos, Jaymie proves he’s more than just a teammate, he might be exactly the partner Mallory didn’t know she needed.<br/>A tender slow burn, friends to lovers romance with depth, laughs, and just enough spice. Chasing the Goal is a story of showing up, stepping in, and falling hard—when love plays for keeps.
