What to expect

Experience the blistering chemistry of the DC Stars with the velvety baritone of Adam Gold (The Dragon's Gift Trilogy) and the immersive sensuality of Laura Horowitz (Flames and Thorns, Wicked Games) in this spicy audiobook duet.

The viral hockey romance sensation from international bestseller, Chelsea Curto.

I never really felt like I had a home. But with Emmy next to me, I think home is wherever she is . . .

Emmy Hartwell has waited for a spot on an NHL roster since she became a professional hockey player, and this season, she’ll finally get a chance to showcase her talents with the struggling DC Stars.

Maverick Miller is the best player in the league, but he’s never had a winning record. Team captain and desperate to turn things around, he agrees to play nice with the fiery new left-winger even though they’re total opposites.

After a night of explosive tension that ends in bed, Emmy and Maverick swear it’ll be a one-time thing – just enough to clear the air so they can focus on their game. It’s meaningless, she insists, because she doesn’t date hockey players, and he’s a notorious playboy who doesn’t date at all. But 'just once' quickly becomes again and again, and while they promise their friends-with-benefits setup will end with the season, their chemistry off the ice proves impossible to ignore . . .

Face Off is a spicy dislike-to-lovers hockey romance with professional athletes, friends with benefits, he falls first and a guaranteed happily ever after from bestselling author, Chelsea Curto.

The DC Stars series will become your new obsession . . .
