Goal Line by Julia Connors is now live!
As the youngest heir of the Hartmann fortune and the backup goalie for the Boston Rebels, the pro hockey team my family owns, I’ve spent my life being the peacemaker in my cutthroat family and the goalie that my teammates can depend on.
I have only one weakness: my coach’s daughter, Evangeline Wilcott.
Eva is a pairs figure skater, and my life-long best friend. I’ve always wanted more, but she friend zoned me back in high school and we’ve lived thousands of miles apart since.
Eight years later, a secret pregnancy is threatening her skating career. When she’s rushed to the hospital right before Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, I panic. Now, my team’s loss lies solely on my shoulders and I could be traded.
When Eva needs help, suggesting we get married is the easiest split-second decision I’ve ever made. A grandchild could keep me in Boston playing for my family’s team, and I’d do anything to take care of Eva.
We agree to a marriage based on friendship, but once Eva and I are living together, all those artificial walls we’ve built start crumbling. Now, I’m making up for all the years I couldn’t call her mine.
But when her past reappears in our new life together, her happiness and my family’s reputation are both threatened. And maybe I’m not so different from my family after all, because I find there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to keep my wife safe and happy.

🏒Review🏒
Luke has always had deep feelings for Eva and there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for her. Finding out that she is in the hospital his only concern is being there for her even if it may potentially put his career as a goal with the Boston Rebels in jeopardy. Finding out that she is pregnant he is determined to support her and the best way to do that is to marry the girl he has always loved.
Eva’s focus has been training for the Olympics as a figure skater with her partner. Finding out she is pregnant has rocked her world as not only will it impact it ability to practice but she knows that not everyone will be happy about the news. Keeping it quiet is the best course of action and marrying Luke will help her deflect a lot of attention that may be coming her way, and it might just force them to face the true feeling they have for each other that each have been hiding.
Luke and Eva have always belonged together, but both were cautious about losing the most important person in their lives. The romance between them is endearing and I enjoyed how their relationship only became stronger with every challenge they faced and the growth they had both as individuals and as a couple.
