The Good Girl Exception

A steamy, forbidden, age-gap college hockey romance from USA Today Bestselling romance author Maren Moore.

Maisie

The night I decided to stop being the good girl…I met him.

Dark eyes. Rough hands. Dangerous edge.

A stranger who made me forget every rule I’ve ever lived by.

But turns out Wilder Hawthorne isn’t just the hookup I can’t stop thinking about.

He’s the new hockey coach at my university.

More than a decade older.

And the man who says I was a mistake…

Now we’re forced to work together, pretending nothing happened.

Soon every glance starts to feel like a promise.

Every touch feels dangerous.

The more time I spend with the grumpy, callous coach, the more I wonder if I’m the one thing he can’t resist.

The way he looks at me says he’s already broken his own rules.

And the more he tries to keep his distance, the more I want to push him over the edge.

Wilder

Getting kicked out of the NHL was supposed to be rock bottom.

Now the only way to fix my reputation is coaching at the one place I never wanted to return to…Orleans University.

New job. Clean image. No scandals.

Until her.

Maisie Delacroix.

The sunshiney preacher’s daughter I spent one reckless night with before I knew who she was.

College student. My team’s new philanthropy liaison. The off-limits distraction I can’t afford.

One rumor could cost me everything.

She’s too sweet. Too innocent. Too good for a guy like me.

But the more she looks at me like I’m worth saving, the more I realize the only thing more dangerous than crossing the line…is wanting to.

The Good Girl Exception is a complete standalone in the Hellcats Hockey Series set in the Orleans University world.
