Secretly Pucking The Hockey God.
Maya Adams has a type…
Anyone who isn’t Hunter Callum.
To the rest of the world, he’s the God of Hockey..a cold, arrogant, shirtless-on-every-billboard legend.
To Maya, he’s the prude, stuck-up asshole who just got her suspended from her dream job at a top New York publishing firm.
When a drunken night of trash-talking Hunter at a club ends in a bloody brawl and a viral scandal, Maya wakes up in the one place she never thought she’d be…Hunter’s penthouse.
Now, his agent is offering her a deal she can’t afford to refuse
Play the part of the doting, supportive girlfriend for five months.
Curb the temper of the league's most volatile player.
Walk away with $3.5 million and her career back.
The rules are simple: keep it professional in private and convincing in public. But as the "God of Hockey" starts showing Maya a side of himself the cameras never see, the lines between their contract and their chemistry begin to blur.
Maya is supposed to be faking it. But Hunter? He stopped playing a game the moment he laid eyes on her.
Falling for the enemy wasn't in the contract. But obsessed gods don't play by the rules.

Chapter: Chapter Twelve.“Jessie... I can explain,” Maya said.Her heart was beating faster than it should have been. She'd known there was a chance this could happen the second she agreed to come tonight. There was no way she could show up at a charity gala on Hunter Callum's arm and somehow avoid running into her best friend.Jessie simply stood there with her arms crossed.“Okay,” she said. “Then explain.”Maya opened her mouth. She could tell Jessie. Maybe not everything, but enough for her to understand. Jessie had been her best friend for years. If there was one person she trusted to keep a secret, it was her.“It's just—”The words caught in her throat.Her gaze drifted across the room for only a second before she immediately regretted it.Holiday Winters was standing near one of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the opposite side of the ballroom, a champagne flute hanging loosely from her fingers.And she was staring directly at Maya.Maya's stomach immediately dropped.“Jessie... I—it’s not what you th

Chapter: Chapter eleven."So…"Chloe's smile hadn't moved an inch."Hunter Callum."Maya took a slow sip of champagne. "Is there a question in there somewhere?""Several actually." Chloe tilted her head. "Since when?""Since when what?""Since when are you and Hunter Callum…" she gestured between them, "...a thing?""We're private people."Chloe laughed. Bright and short. "Maya. Two days ago you were escorted out of Hart with a cardboard box. Tonight you're here." A glance toward Hunter. "With him.""People have weekends, Chloe.""Sure." She swirled her champagne slowly. "I just find the timing interesting.""Do you?""The interview gets pulled from you." Chloe paused. "And it turns out you've been dating the subject the whole time." Another pause. "That's quite a thing to leave out."There it was. Not an accusation. Just a sentence shaped exactly like one."I don't mix my personal life with work," Maya said. "You'd know that if we'd ever actually talked."Chloe's smile didn't waver. "We're talking now.""Are

Chapter: Chapter Ten.Immediately the door opened, the world got very loud and very fast around her..The light hit her first. Not soft event lighting but the hard aggressive flash of cameras going off in rapid succession, a wall of it, and behind the light came the noise. People calling Hunter's name. Questions fired from every direction. The low roar of a crowd that had been waiting and had now gotten exactly what it came for.Maya's feet almost stopped moving.Almost.Hunter's hand found the small of her back with light pressure but was gone in a second."Don't stop walking," he said quietly. Close enough that nobody else caught it and only she could hear it.She kept walking.The cameras were relentless. She'd seen red carpets on screens her entire life and understood them the way you understand things you've never actually stood inside. This was different. This was flashes going off so fast they bled together and strangers calling her name even though she hadn't told anyone her name and the very speci

Chapter: Chapter Nine.The stupid Callum 27 jersey had to go.That was Maya's first coherent thought stepping back into her bedroom. The second was that she had approximately three hours to transform from a woman who had spent the night in a hockey player's penthouse into someone who looked like she belonged on his arm in front of cameras.No pressure.She peeled the jersey off carefully and folded it without examining why she folded it instead of dropping it on the floor like everything else.Her phone was already buzzing.Jessie's name four times in a row.:Hey. Haven't seen you since yesterday. You okay?:Seriously, talk to me.:Also I know you can't come tonight and that's genuinely so unfair. You didn't deserve any of it.:I'll tell you everything tomorrow, okay? You're not missing much. Probably just Chloe in a better dress being insufferable as usual.Maya read them twice. Set the phone down. Picked it up again.:I'm okay. Promise. Have fun tonight.Sent it before she could think too hard about how e

Chapter: Chapter Eight.There was something deeply unsettling about signing a contract and immediately being told you couldn't tell your mother about it.Maya stood there for a second after Holiday finished speaking, still holding the pen she'd signed away the next five months of her life with, trying to decide whether this qualified as the worst decision she'd ever made or merely the most expensive."No friends. No family. No exceptions."The words lingered unpleasantly.Not because she planned on announcing the arrangement to the world. That part made sense. Hunter Callum wasn't exactly a regular guy who could fake-date someone without attracting attention.But her mother?Jessie?Ethan?Holiday had said it so casually too.Like forbidding someone from discussing a legally binding fake relationship with their loved ones was perfectly normal behavior.Maybe in Hunter's world it was.That thought alone was irritating enough that Maya looked over at him.He was leaning against the opposite side of the room lo

Chapter: Chapter seven.Maya glanced up at holiday, then at hunter, then back at the page.Her eyes stayed locked on the page like if she stared long enough, the words would rearrange themselves into something less insane.They didn’t.Clause Seventeen.Her grip tightened slightly around the pen in her hand.“What is this?” she asked again, quieter this time—but sharper.Holiday didn’t answer immediately.That alone told Maya everything she needed to know.The silence wasn’t confusion, it wasn’t hesitation either. It was calculation.Holiday closed the portfolio slowly, far too calmly for someone who had just watched a deal tilt off balance. Then she placed it back on the bed like she was deciding where to bury a body.Maya didn’t blink.“I asked you a question,” she said again, quieter now—but sharper.“What is Clause Seventeen?”For the first time since she walked into the room, Holiday didn’t look at her like a problem she could solve in five minutes.She looked at her like a problem she had already accou

The Mistake He Regrets.
“Are you sure you want to go through with the abortion procedure, Mrs. Windsor?”
The doctor’s voice was soft, almost cautious.
Elysia Windsor lowered her gaze, fingers trembling against her stomach as tears burned behind her eyes.
“Yes, doctor,” she whispered shakily.
“Alright… but we’ll need your husband’s consent and signature first.”
Her husband.
For five years, Declan Windsor had never truly been hers.
Cold. Distant. Untouchable.
While Elysia loved him hopelessly, Declan only had eyes for the woman he truly wanted. Still, Elysia endured the loneliness of their marriage, convincing herself that loving him from afar was enough.
Until one drunken night changed everything.
Now pregnant with Declan’s twins, Elysia begins to hope for something more… only for Declan to bring his first love, Victoria Ashford, into their home pregnant with his child.
Humiliated, betrayed, and repeatedly framed by the same woman who tormented her in high school, Elysia reaches her breaking point when she nearly loses her babies—and Declan still chooses Victoria over her.
So she leaves. Quietly. Completely.
But the moment Elysia disappears, Declan realizes the devastating truth too late
The wife he neglected was the only woman who ever truly loved him.
Now she’s gone, carrying his children and the pieces of his heart with her.
And when Declan finally finds her again years later, Elysia is no longer the broken woman he left behind.
The problem?
This time, she may choose someone else.

Chapter: Chapter Eighteen."Congratulations. You're officially free," Jade laughed.The automatic glass doors slid open.Warm sunlight spilled across the hospital entrance as Elysia stepped outside for the first time in days.She paused for a moment, inhaling deeply before slowly letting the breath leave her lungs.For the first time in five years, she felt free.She felt genuinely happy to be exactly where she was, with the people beside her.Almost absentmindedly, her hand drifted to her stomach.It was still flat, but touching it had already become a habit."Careful now," her mother reminded gently.She had arrived a few minutes after the news bulletin announcing that the Windsors had offered a reward for information leading to Elysia's whereabouts."I'm fine, Mom..." Elysia groaned, unable to hide the amusement in her voice.Ever since she'd told her mother about the pregnancy, she'd been treated like she might shatter if someone looked at her too hard.Then again...Compared to what her grandmother would h

Chapter: Chapter Seventeen.Elysia opened her eyes to the morning sunlight streaming through the open curtains, swaying gently in the breeze.She slowly sat up.The doctor had told them the previous day that she would be discharged today.Her mother and Jade had insisted on staying the night, but after Kai assured them he'd take care of her, they had left without much argument.Jade, of course, had flashed her that ridiculous heart-eyes look before walking out the door.A small yawn escaped Elysia as her gaze drifted to Kai.He was still asleep.Even in sleep, his brows were furrowed, as though something weighed heavily on his mind.He had spent the entire night making sure she was comfortable, barely closing his own eyes.He was slumped in the chair beside her bed, one elbow resting on the mattress while his head leaned against his forearm.She reached out and gently smoothed the crease between his brows.He stirred lightly, his hand instinctively catching her wrist.His eyes opened a fraction. For a second, he

Chapter: Chapter Sixteen.The heart monitor beside him beeped steadily while the IV continued dripping into his arm.Declan lay restlessly in the hospital bed, his head moving weakly from side to side. A light sheen of sweat covered his forehead, his brows drawn into a deep frown as faint murmurs escaped his lips.“...Elysia...”Asher frowned.The doctors had told him Declan had developed a high fever from exhaustion. Days of little sleep and constant stress had finally caught up with him.To make matters worse, he had consumed alcohol on an empty stomach, only worsening his condition.Asher looked at his friend. It felt like Declan was trapped in some kind of nightmare.This was the third time since they had brought him to the hospital that he had whispered Elysia's name in his unconscious state. "Victoria is not another woman."The words left his lips as the world around him shifted.Suddenly, he was back at the dining table from a few days ago."Don't act like you don't know what this is... You're only my

Chapter: Chapter Fifteen.“Shit,” Declan cursed, his voice rising slightly.Then, as if catching himself, he immediately lowered it and glanced toward Victoria.His only lead to finding Elysia.Dead.Just like that.Why did it feel like it wasn't a coincidence?And what do you think would happen if he finds out?His uncle's words from earlier echoed in his mind.Did Daniel know something about this?But then again, his uncle and the St. Laurent family's former gardener, Javier Santiago, shouldn't have had any connection to each other.As far as Declan knew, they had never even met.Daniel Windsor moved in circles far above men like Javier.One belonged among powerful businessmen and politicians.The other had spent most of his life working for a single family.So who would want Javier Santiago dead badly enough to silence him?It couldn't be a coincidence.Not now. At this particular time?Not after learning he had been at the house before the fire.And what reason would Javier have for setting fire to his hom

Chapter: Chapter Fourteen.Daniel stared at Declan for a moment. His smile slipped briefly before settling back into place.“Come on, son. We’re all family after all,” Daniel laughed.The sound was forced. Everyone in the room could hear it.Declan raised a brow.Suspicious or not, Daniel had been the only person in the family who tried convincing his parents to let him marry Victoria all those years ago.“I know how much you love her,” Daniel continued. “I came as soon as I heard about the fire.”It sounded like concern.Yet Declan couldn't help noticing what was missing.Daniel hadn't asked about Elysia.Not once.He had come straight to the hospital. He hadn't called Declan beforehand. And now he was here, hovering over Victoria's bed like her wellbeing mattered more than anyone else's.On the surface, it all made sense.But after everything that had happened in the last few hours, suspicion came far too easily.“Declan, Uncle Daniel is like a father to me,” Victoria said softly.Before now, Declan wouldn't

Chapter: Chapter Thirteen.“You stupid fool.”Alistair Windsor’s voice thundered across the room.Declan stood quietly in the middle of the large foyer while his father lashed into him.“How hard is it to protect one woman? How hard?!” his father roared.“Alistair…” his mother called quietly.They had spoken to Elysia’s mother only a few minutes ago.Eleanor had hoped Elysia was with her mother. That she had left the house and gone there before the fire broke out.But the call hadn't gone the way they'd hoped.The media outlets had already carried news of the fire, and they couldn't imagine what would happen if they got wind that their daughter-in-law had gone missing in the fire when everyone else had made it out.“It’s not like I set fire to my own house, Father,” Declan retorted.That seemed to infuriate his father even more. His hand connected sharply with Declan’s cheek, the sound echoing through the foyer.Declan stumbled back, his eyes widening in shock.Eleanor gasped and rushed to her son.“Enough, Ali
