Description
What happens in Vegas might just change their lives...
A chance encounter with a handsome, younger man leads to an unforgettable night for single-mom Daley, who has come to Vegas to support her 18-year-old son during the NHL draft.
Deacon wants nothing more than to put his messy divorce behind him and get back to winning games as captain of the NHL's Sioux Falls Wolves. Love isn't on his radar, but when an unexpected connection sparks with the beautiful older woman at the hotel bar, he isn't about to back away.
Not even when her son ends up as his team's newest draft pick.
Daley thinks they should keep their distance. Deacon doesn't want to let a good thing go.
Under the arena lights, everything is magnified, but it's what happens between the lines that wins the game... or breaks a heart.

Between the Lines was absolutely delicious. The reverse age gap adds depth and vulnerability, while the balance of spice, plot, and family dynamics keeps the pages flying. Deacon and Daley’s chemistry is undeniable, fun, flirty, and natural from the very beginning. Their banter is hilarious and Deacon… holy crap, he’s smooth and persistent in the best way. I loved seeing a confident heroine paired with a MMC who was supportive, charming, and completely gone for her. This book is equal parts fun, heartfelt, and just a little forbidden, exactly what I want in a hockey romance.Thank you to Melody for the Arc. I can't wait to see what she has in store for River.
