Strong and Wild

Micky is working towards a cocktail lounge of her own, combining shifts at a hockey bar with a profitable online side job. The neighbour across the hall is far less welcome. Rookie hockey player Rhys intends to spend his one-year contract proving himself, with no room for a relationship. Yet he already knows Micky in a way she has not realised, and keeping their worlds apart becomes increasingly difficult. When mutual hostility turns physical, the connection also exposes painful experiences neither expected to share. This standalone Lakes Hockey romance combines neighbours, hidden identity and an enemies-to-lovers relationship.
