Why you will love this book… 🏒Friends to Lovers 💙Fake Dating 🏒Revenge 💙Hockey Romance 🏒He Falls First 💙Found Family 🏒Romcom
Good boys don’t lie, fight, or steal.
Up until the moment I learned that my uncle and coach, the man I’ve looked up to my entire life, was having an affair with my best friend–the only woman I’ve ever wanted–I was a good boy. The Saint of hockey. Brooks Langfield–star goalie of the Boston Bolts and all around nice guy.
Apparently, being good is overrated because seeing Sara blindsided when she learns that the man she was dating is married makes me just angry enough to stop thinking and finally take what I want–a real shot with my best friend.
Fake dating Sara under the guise of revenge means I’m now lying to my family, fighting anyone who even looks at her the wrong way, and stealing kisses as if she’s truly mine to touch.
Now she’s the only person I want calling me a good boy and somehow I need to show her this is so much more than pucking revenge.
Author’s Note: Pucking Revenge is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy featuring text banter from the Billionaire Langfield Brothers, a singing Boston Bolts hockey team, a cinnamon roll goalie in a friends to lovers romance with fake dating, no miscommunication, one bed, a hot tub, and quite a few ducks.

Honey
I was destined to marry another man when I first met Dawson.
He was charming, deadly, and everything my father hated.
And I lived by my father’s rule, which happens when he’s a king of the underworld.
That was until I managed to escape and somehow straight into the arms of the man who sells your desires for a living.
But did I have a price?
Or was he willing to share me for free?
Dawson
Innocent and breathtakingly beautiful, she was as her name described.
Honey suited her perfectly in all senses of the word—soft, sweet, and a little sticky.
My world and hers should not have mixed.
But something as sweet as honey is meant to be enjoyed.

shouldn’t have agreed to this. What was I thinking? Appearing on a local news show? Just because something happened to me? I live mostly in isolation on purpose.
But here I am. I was so nervous that I needed the make-up chair, twice. And then I walked past his room.
He’s a giant—no softness, all muscle. And a rich beard that made me want to rub myself all over it. He made me see stars, literally because the second time I saw him, I tripped. Or I would’ve, but he caught me, and the cameras were rolling. Soon, that clip will be trending because he wasn’t just another guest on the show.
He’s Brett Broudou, the Kings’ newest football star. We couldn’t be more opposite. The only special thing about me is the reason I was on the show. Brett, the Super Bowl champion, and me, the survivor who helped bring down the infamous Midwest Butcher.
Brett might not think he’s anyone’s hero, but he’s about to become mine.

When my father finds out I’m pregnant, he goes ballistic. That’s when my BFF, bad boy Billy Babcock, comes to my rescue and agrees to “take responsibility.”
Billy and I solidify our contract on a napkin—he’ll pretend to be my baby’s father, and I’ll help him clean up his image. The only problem is my father, the football coach, hates Billy. He warned me off dating players a long time ago, and he thinks Billy’s the biggest player out there.
Now that we’re in a “relationship,” Billy thinks we should spend some quality naked time together, but I’m worried about crossing that line. Because athletic guys with big muscles, intricate tattoos, and sexy smirks are my biggest weakness, and Billy ticks off all those boxes.
Can my football player “boyfriend” walk the straight and narrow for me?
Or did I just get handed off from one heartbreaker to another?

She knows I’m coming for her, and this time, she won’t be slipping through my fingers.
I’m going to destroy her, and only then will I make her mine.

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Giana Darling comes a sapphic, dark academia, Medusa retelling about a woman who was wronged by her idols and refused to pay the price without getting revenge…
I was born a woman.
Raised by women.
In love with women.
Until I enrolled at Acheron University, I’d never known much of men. I certainly didn’t know enough to fear them.
Then one stormy autumnal night, Professor Morgan tried to destroy me.
And when we were discovered by the university President, it was me who was punished for the unwanted seduction.
But they left me with two valuable lessons.
I would never let another woman be hurt by men again if I could help it.
And when someone hurts you, betrays you, and tries to rip out your soul, there is only one remedy for the pain.
Revenge.
And mine takes the form of the President’s very beautiful, very virginal, very straight daughter, Luna Pallas.
Before the end of term, I’ll destroy her innocence just as her mother and Professor Morgan destroyed mine.

Luna couldn’t be more different from Lex or a better match for her. When it comes to life she is inexperienced but she is discovering who she is and what direction she should take so even though the reasons that brought them together are dark it doesn’t define them or their relationship.
