Clusterpuck: A Hockey Love Story
About this ebook
"I’m in Vegas to play a final season of NHL hockey and for one last chance at The Cup."
—Tripp Blackburn, VEGAS CRUSH
I've known Lila Marchmont-Terry since she was born...when I was thirteen.
I came to Vegas only for a run at The Cup because, after this season, I’m hanging up my skates for good.
Lila came to Vegas for a gap year interning with her grandfather, because after this season, she’s headed off to grad school to study Sports Management.
Note that her grandfather owns The Vegas Crush—the team I’ve just signed a lucrative, one-year contract deal to finish out my NHL playing career.
But now that our paths have crossed again, I’ve discovered Lila doesn’t really like me anymore.
That didn’t matter a bit while we were stranded in a hotel room with only one bed, and we did something we should’ve never done, even though the itch was there for both of us.
The same itch we ended up scratching after our clothes sort of...disappeared, and the fire between us burned hotter than ever.
All—night—long.
Which is how I knocked up Max Terry’s granddaughter (who usually despises me when our clothes are on).
I wish I could say things got better after our Las Vegas wedding, officiated by someone dressed as Dracula, but I’d be lying.
It’s a whole cluster of a situation now—one giant CLUSTERPUCK we’ve gotten ourselves into now with a baby on the way.
And Lila still doesn’t know about my long-held secret crush, because I'm far too old for her.
She has no idea the only one I’ve ever wanted to share my pucks with…is her.

About the author
Raine Miller is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author since 2012. Before that, she spent two decades teaching kiddos to read–something she’s most proud of. These days, writing steamy romance stories pretty much fills up the hours...for which she keeps pinching herself to make sure she’s not dreaming. #Truth She has a handsome husband, two amazing sons, and two very bouncy Italian greyhounds to keep her busy the rest of the time. Her boys know she writes romance books, but gratefully have zero interest in reading even a single one. Thank God! When she’s not writing, she’s likely deep into a hockey game cheering on her beloved Vegas Golden Knights, and dreaming up a new book. The greyhounds are likely to be in her lap while she writes the books or watches hockey—both dogs at the same time. She loves to hear from readers and chat about the characters she’s created. You can connect with Raine on Facebook in her group, Raine Miller Romance Readers. Stop by any time. “My readers are the heart and soul of what keeps me writing the words.” #Truth2
Brit DeMille is the alter ego of NYT Bestselling author Raine Miller, having an absolute blast writing something different than what she usually writes. Stories about sexy billionaires [millionaires make the cut, too] who fall in instalove with young women who may or may not be virgins, and then go on to make adorable babies together are her favorite themes. In addition to billionaires, hot hockey players are at the top of her list of favorite heroes, along with royals and ex-military bodyguards. The most important thing to her when she writes a story is a happily ever after. But during the actual writing of the story, the most important thing is a cup of hot tea with a splash of milk (and don't forget a stash of cherry Jolly Ranchers). A dog or two will likely be in between her and the chair at any given moment, which is very handy because they are the ones who approve everything she writes.
