When he cannot stand to be away for even another night 🫶🏻

Her fortune wasn't supposed to be her fate.

Emelia

Drunkenly folding my way into a future with the hottest goalie in the league wasn't how I intended to spend Saturday night, but here we are.

Clearly, my besties should not be in charge of Girl's Night activities.

One cootie catcher later, and Royce Elliot is determined to make this wild prediction a reality.

I'm absolutely not interested. Until I am.

He's supposed to be my client, not the man I can't resist.

But with every touch and every kiss, this feels less like a game…and more like forever.

Royce

I know hockey, not how to win over a stubborn, fiercely independent publicist.

But the second I meet Emelia Jónsson, I stop caring about shutouts.

I care about her.

She says her fortune teller doesn't mean anything—that it's just a childish game.

I say fate handed me an opening, and I'm not going to miss my shot.

I didn't expect her to ignite the way she does for me.

And I never imagined I’d fall this hard, this fast.

She swears this can't happen.

She's wrong.

I'm not backing down until she admits the truth.

We were never just a game.

The two of us are destiny.

7/7 Edited to

One of the most captivating aspects of this story is how it blends the thrilling world of professional hockey with the deeply personal and emotional journey of two people drawn irresistibly together. From my personal experience following sports romances, it's always fascinating to see how the athlete's high-intensity lifestyle influences their relationships. Royce's impulsive decision to surprise Emelia after a late game beautifully illustrates how much he values their connection despite the demands of his career. This story truly resonates because it reflects real-life challenges faced by couples with busy schedules—especially when one partner travels frequently. The late-night text and unexpected visit emphasize the longing that distance creates, showing how even brief moments together can feel like everything. The playful tension between Emelia's initial resistance and eventual acceptance adds a layer of authenticity to their chemistry. Moreover, the use of the fortune teller and the cootie catcher as symbolic elements captures the theme of fate versus choice. It’s a charming reminder that sometimes, love can catch us off guard in the least expected moments and ways. For readers who enjoy contemporary romance narratives with strong, relatable characters and a dash of destiny, this story offers a deeply engaging experience. If you've ever been caught between your professional ambitions and personal desires, Royce and Emelia's tale will speak to you. It’s a heartfelt exploration of how vulnerability and courage can turn a chance encounter into a lasting bond.
