Behind The Net: Vancouver Storm Book 1 by Stephanie Archer

He’s the hot, grumpy goalie I had a crush on in high school… and now I’m his live-in assistant.

After my ex crushed my dreams in the music industry, I’m done with getting my heart broken. Working as an assistant for an NHL player was supposed to be a breeze, but nothing about Jamie Streicher is easy. He’s an intimidatingly hot, grouchy jerk who can’t stand me. The guy has a massive ego. Keeping things professional will be no problem, even when he demands I move in with him.

Beneath his surliness, though, Jamie’s surprisingly sweet and protective.

When Jamie learns how bad my ex was in bed, his competitive nature flares, and he encourages and spoils me in every way. The creative spark I used to feel about songwriting? It’s back, and I’m writing music again. Between wearing his jersey at games, rowdy parties with the team, and being brave on stage again, I’m falling for him.

He could break my heart, but it might be worth it.

There’s no way I can tell her the truth—that she’s the girl I was obsessed with for two years in high school.

After finishing her marketing degree at college, she spent the last two years following Zach on tour until she was taken to the airport and dumped over the phone. The loss of the relationship hurt, but what he did to her confidence and self-esteem has had a lasting effect. Now she is standing outside the apartment of a boy she had a crush on in high school, about to become his assistant.

Relocating back to Vancouver on a free transfer to the Vancouver Storm NHL team, Jamie Streicher needed to be closer to his mom. Attending preseason training, the NHL goalie is hoping to keep his place on the team and is not sold on. Finding a stray dog outside the stadium prompts him to accept an assistant’s offer to help him at home, etc. Although opening the door to the girl he had the biggest crush on in high school has thrown him for a loop.

Navigating their working relationship, each hides that they remember who the other is from high school. Pippa is taking care of Daisy (the stray dog), moving in after Jamie finds her crying and singing around the apartment when Jamie isn’t home. But Jamie knows about her singing and encourages her to pick up her guitar and consider future options. As they fake-date, the feelings are real, but can Jamie find space in his life for love?
