Pucking Sweet

The third electrifying instalment in the international bestselling Jackson Rays series, Pucking Sweet by Emily Rath, blurs the lines between work and play in an irresistible, red-hot, and inclusive hockey romance that has taken TikTok by storm.

Meet Poppy St. James, a woman who has just landed her dream role as the Director of Public Relations for the NHL's most buzz-worthy new team, the Jacksonville Rays. This high-stakes position comes with a one-year contract she’s determined to surpass, proving herself in the fast-paced world of professional hockey. Navigating a realm dominated by brash, charismatic athletes, Poppy finds her skills tested by none other than the team's notorious party boy, defence man Lukas Novikov.

Lukas is a paradox of skill and chaos—brilliant on the ice and a total PR disaster off it. Brash, bossy, and endlessly troublesome, he constantly pulls his teammates, especially fellow defence man Colton Morrow, into precarious situations. But Poppy, often referred to mockingly by the players as "PR Barbie," is undeterred. Poised, powerful, and perpetually professional, she deftly manages to turn their messes into PR triumphs.

However, Poppy's carefully balanced life is thrown into disarray when she receives a fateful phone call from home, leading to one drunken mistake that leaves her staring at a little blue plus sign on a pregnancy test. With no strategy and no clear path forward, Poppy must grapple with the life-altering implications of her unexpected situation, knowing that nothing will ever be the same again.

In Pucking Sweet, Emily Rath masterfully combines sizzling romance, gripping drama, and unforgettable characters in a MMF "why choose" narrative that challenges conventions and celebrates love in all its forms. Dive into a story where the heat of the rink is matched only by the passion off the ice, and experience a romance that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
