Push

Hux

Retirement looms on the horizon, threatening to strip away the only identity I've ever known—hockey player. As I gear up for my final Cup run, the last thing I need is a distraction. But that's exactly what I get when I impulsively marry Ada, a beautiful stranger, in Vegas. It was supposed to be a one-time act of rebellion, a way to stick it to my ex. Instead, I find myself drawn to Ada's warmth and her crazy family in ways I never expected. Now, as I navigate the end of my career and confront the ghosts of my past, I'm faced with a choice: cling to the life I've always known, or take a chance on a future I never dared to imagine.

Adaline

I've always been the odd one out in my family—the one who couldn't settle down, who chose her independence over finding a husband. But when I marry Hux on a whim in Las Vegas, I inadvertently give my family exactly what they wanted. It's all pretend, of course. Until it isn't. As I get to know the man behind the tough hockey player exterior, I find myself falling for real. But with Hux's career ending and my own business taking off, can we push through the complications and make this unexpected union work? Or will the pressures of our separate worlds pull us apart before we have a chance to discover if what we have is truly love?
