Goalie and the Girl Next Door (Love in Maple Falls #5)

My life was perfect except for the occasional goat emergency. Then a charming French goalie with dimples turned my life upside down. Rude.

Marcy

I came to Maple Falls to rebuild my life with nothing but four pencil skirts and a broken heart, courtesy of my hockey-playing ex. I like numbers because they dont lie, and I like my quiet ranch life because its predictable.

Enter Clément Rivière—the devastatingly charming French goalie who shows up shirtless to help with barn work, whispers sweet French nothings to our goat, and looks at me like Im the only woman in the world. But Im not the only one falling for his act—half the towns women are already under his spell, and I refuse to be just another conquest.

Clément

I traded Paris for small-town Washington to chase my big league dreams and restore a historic house thats trying to kill me daily. What I didnt expect was the towns brilliant, beautiful accountant who treats me like Im a tax audit waiting to happen.

Marcy Fontaine sees right through my act and makes me want things I never knew were missing. But shes been burned by a hockey player before, and Im running out of time to prove Im different. Theres a ticking time bomb inside me, and my career is on the line.

If I can’t stay, well both have to decide if love is worth the risk—or if some dreams are too good to be true.
