The Heat of Us: A New Jersey Heat Novel

He’s the captain who swore off distractions.
She’s the paralegal who never meant to fall for a headline.
One reckless night ignites a wildfire neither of them can outrun.

Jaxson Sinclair is used to pressure—OT shootouts, bloodthirsty media, and the weight of a captain’s “C” on his chest. But after one night with Carley Hart, the woman who tastes like sin and refuses to play by his rules, he’s wrecked in a way no stat sheet can measure.

Carley doesn’t chase chaos—or hockey gods with sinful mouths and too much swagger. But Jax kisses her like a promise, touches her like a prayer, and makes her feel like more than a footnote in someone else’s story.

When a scandal drops his past at her feet and turns her into a target, she bolts to protect her heart. Jax would burn the league to the ground before he lets her stay gone.

Now the man who never fights for anything off the ice is ready to prove he’s all in—publicly, obsessively, and without apology.
