The Alternate Captain: A British Hockey Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781738463237)

No feelings. Nothing. It's as if I'm dead inside.

Johnny Koenig can't recall the last time he experienced any emotion other than the intense pride he has for his team. The team admires, respects, and relies on him as their captain. But outside of hockey, Johnny is desperate to feel something more. And he thinks he's found it when he meets Kelly online.

She's smart and funny. She makes him come alive. And he thinks he's starting to like this girl ... until she ghosts him.

There one minute and gone the next; it's like their three-month conversation never happened.

All I want is the Johnny I knew before. The one I spent three months getting to know before I ruined it.

Kelly Betts' sole focus is music, a talent she's nurtured since childhood, landing her an audition at a prestigious music college. The night before, she stays with her brother and he begs her to watch his hockey team's playoff game, even though he knows she hates the sport.

Reluctantly, she attends, but not even the excitement of the game can keep her watching when her brother takes a hit that has her bolting for the exit. Which is when she comes face to face with an eight-foot poster of the guy she's been talking to online. Except, it can't actually be him, can it?

Can Kelly help Johnny find himself when everything seems against them?
