Devon Chambers: The Vermont Vipers Star who became my surprising inspiration—and my fake boyfriend I'm a romance writer in a slump. All I did was tag along to a hockey game with my brother. The star player slams a guy into a wall and turns to give the crowd a thumbs-up. Just like that... a spark ignited in me. I went home and scribbled down a story idea, posting it to Instagram. The next morning, thousands of new followers and an avalanche of comments. People loved my idea. So, I followed the inspiration, bought season tickets to the Vipers games, and kept my new project a secret. But when fans get a little too involved in the story and catch me chatting with Devon in a bar, they think the story is about me, and the PR teams love it. The rules were simple. Two public dates a week, no physical intimacy, and lots of positive press for both of us. The fans are hooked, and so am I. I'm writing our story before it's even begun. We struggle to stick to the rules. No intimacy clause? Oops. His kisses are electric, his touch irresistible, and my heart is no longer just in the story—it's in his hands. When the press finds out I'm pregnant, our PR teams are furious. But when the truth hits social media, fans fall even more in love. And as the real story begins, I realize that what started as fiction has become the most beautiful reality I could ever write. My Pucking Little Secret is book two in the Vermont Vipers series: a series of interconnected standalones following a team of professional hockey players and the women who make them swoon. They do not need to be listened to in order, but you will gain glimpses of previous and future characters/couples in each book.
