Flirting Game – Blakely Lauren (2026)

Score big with this spicy, laugh-out-loud hockey romantic comedy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely. My new neighbour is a hot, grumpy hockey player who works out shirtless on his porch every morning. It is not technically spying if I just happen to be on my patio at the same time, right? Imagine my surprise when the sexy grouch turns out to be the client who has hired me to redecorate the house he is giving his mother. As a ray of sunshine, I have to pretend I have never noticed his abs while we choose furniture, since I never date clients. Ford Devon has made it clear that this is his final season and he wants zero distractions. That means resisting his cool blue eyes, deep voice and mouth, which silences me one night in our shared backyard with a scorching kiss. We agree it is a one-time slip-up, but then he insists on being my date to my cheating ex's party, and we slip up again into a very fun sleepover, with our dogs watching. One fake date at a charity gala leads to another at a hockey game, and somewhere between fabric swatches and porch picnics, I stop pretending. But how can I convince Ford that with me, he can have both love and hockey?
