The Goalie Grudge (The Spitfires #2)

The Goalie GrudgeThe Spitfires: Book TwoFrankie Callahan does not need saving.

She is the Spitfires’ goalie, the wall in the crease, the girl with the sharp mouth, the black coffee, and the private rule that if she lets nothing in, nothing can hurt her. Pucks are rude. Frankie stops them. Feelings are worse. Frankie avoids those.

Then Cooper “Coop” Vale gets assigned to help her save the one thing she refuses to lose: Brookfield’s women’s hockey program.

Coop is sunshine in hockey skates. Golden boy. Men’s alternate captain. Everyone’s favorite easy smile. Exactly the kind of guy Frankie does not trust near her walls.

Except Coop is not as easy as he looks.

And when Brookfield’s future depends on a high-stakes donor showcase, a brutal Westbridge rivalry game, and proving the Spitfires deserve more than borrowed ice, Frankie and Coop are forced into the same fight. Same meetings. Same rink. Same impossible chemistry.

He sees too much.

She shuts down too fast.

He asks before getting close.

She keeps letting him.

But as the pressure builds, Frankie has to decide if being the wall has been protecting her… or keeping out the people trying to stand beside her.

And Coop has to learn that love does not mean being useful until he disappears.

One goalie.One golden boy.Zero chance he gets past her wall.
