The Final Score

A hockey player and a grad student are on thin ice until they meet their match in this sexy romance by USA Today bestselling author Lana Ferguson.

Jack Baker is on top of the world now that he's back on the rink where he belongs. But the high comes crashing down when he reinjures his arm immediately following his return to the ice, and this time, he might never be able to play again. After a lifetime as the strong, happy hockey guy whose sister needed him, Jack is left questioning everything he knows about himself.

Abigail Thompson feels like she's hit rock bottom. It's only been a few months since the massive scandal that finally severed the cord between her and her narcissistic father. And now, in her last weeks of grad school, she's been kicked out of her building with very short notice. The last thing she wants to do is ask her half-brother for help after what she's put him through, but it's looking like his best friend's spare room might be her only choice.

Jack is flighty, flirty, and a little full of himself— all the things Abby's learned to avoid in men. However, spending every day together breaks the ice between them, and she starts to realise that Jack might not be who he seems. It's possible that maybe, just maybe, he might be struggling as much as she is. Soon confiding in each other leads to falling into bed, and this fling will either play with their hearts—or score them the ultimate goal of love.
