Firecracker (Western Minnesota Hockey)

Catching the eye of a random hockey player on your college team? Coincidence. That same player being paired with your grandfather in a volunteer program? Fate.

Reese Ashwood has one goal: to make her grandfather, Pops, proud. Transferring to his alma mater was the first step. Now she needs to keep her head down and focus on her grades. Seems easy enough.

Then she meets Louie.

Louie Watkins, the center for the University of Western Minnesota’s hockey team, has only one thing on his mind—making it to the Frozen Four. However, when his eyes connect with hers in the stands, his entire world is flipped upside down. The immediate spark he feels has him wanting to drop everything to learn her name.

Thrown together by fate, Reese struggles to ignore the spark between them. But will allowing a little fun risk everything Reese has worked for, or will it be the one thing she never knew she needed?
