Sweet Pucking Orc by Ava Ross

He’s the burliest orc hockey player on ice. She’s the one person he’s not allowed to want.

The Purple Punishers’ new defenseman doesn’t know I’m the coach’s daughter and the team’s video analyst. Two facts I probably should’ve mentioned before I let the most gorgeous orc hockey player I’ve ever met make me laugh for twenty minutes straight at a team dinner.
In my defense, nobody ever talks to me like he does, as if I’m a regular person and not a complication.
Tolrek Nosh is grumpy, enormous, and fresh off a trade that gutted him in ways he won’t admit. My job is to find the truth in the footage. And the truth is, he’s not the player everyone thinks he is. He’s better. He just can’t see it yet.

My father has one rule: No dating hockey players. Ever.
I know exactly how this ends. I’ve watched enough film to recognize a play developing right in front of me.
Turns out I’m not as good at stopping plays as I thought.
