Betting on the Breakaway (Boston Howlers #1)

He thinks love is a lie. She’s about to prove him wrong.

NHL star Mac Sullivan’s career is on ice after a tragic accident, and his viral rant calling romance “dangerous fantasy” just made him public enemy number one for the people of MillbrookFalls, the former romance capital of New England.

Hiding out in the small town where he spent childhood summers, the last thing he expects is to be confronted by Delaney Caldwell—the girl who used to have a crush on him and now owns the local bookshop he nearly destroyed with his big mouth.

Delaney’s solution? A bet. Ten dates based on classic romance tropes. If she wins, he publicly apologizes and admits love exists.

If he wins, she has to come to every game in his jersey for a full season.

What starts as a battle of wits becomes something neither of them saw coming.

Because sometimes the best love stories begin with a wager… And sometimes the person you’re trying to convince is yourself.
