Against the Boards - Matt Rempe

Emma Hughes grew up in the shadows of hockey greatness - her last name worn like armor, her brothers Jack, Luke, and Quinn skating under the spotlight. She knows the rules: stay out of the media, don't date players, and never, ever get involved with the enemy.

But then she meets Matt Rempe.

After a bloody Rangers-Devils brawl leaves tempers flaring and grudges deeper than the Hudson, Emma finds herself colliding - quite literally - with the last person she should want. He's tall, loud, unapologetic... and impossible to ignore.

When a chance encounter turns into a reckless secret, Emma and Matt find themselves walking the thinnest of lines between loyalty and desire. With her brothers watching her every move and fans dissecting every cryptic post, the walls are closing in fast.

Because in the world of rival teams and brutal hits, falling in love with the wrong person isn't just dangerous-it's unforgivable.

And some secrets don't stay hidden forever.
