I chose a championship over love. When Nova smashed her way into my hardened heart, she showed me there’s more to life than basketball. She taught me patience and forgiveness. With her help, my Kodiak teammates became brothers instead of rivals. For the first time, I cared about more than a game. But one mistake sent me crashing from all-star to rock bottom. Broken inside and out, there’s no one to blame but myself. I won’t let the people I love suffer for my mistakes, on or off the court. I’ll win back the brothers who trusted me, the city that backed me, and the woman I don’t want to live without. Unless I’m too late. I have one last shot. One last chance. Countdown's on, and I’m playing for keeps. Play Maker is the third and final book in the King of the Court series. Clay and Nova’s steamy, addictive grumpy sunshine sports romance begins in Game Changer and continues in Shot Taker. *** KEYWORDS: sports romance, basketball romance, forbidden romance, Enemies to lovers romance, age gap romance book, alpha male , romance travel, strong heroine, contemporary romance, enemies to lovers, forbidden love, age gap, romantic series, women’s fiction, romance saga, romance series, romantic family saga, bestseller romance, kissing books, emotional journey, captivating romance, emotional, healing, hot, hot romance, sparks, loyalty, swoon, funny romance, modern romance, new release, forbidden romance, strong alpha, alpha hero, family business, strong female lead, strong heroine, family secrets, top romance reads, new adult, best seller.

A grumpy former hockey player and a bisexual coffee-shop owner refuse to commit—to themselves or each other—in this fun, flirty debut Piper Welborn has created a warm, welcoming space for all in her queer-inclusive coffee shop, even if the long hours came at the cost of her love life. But she’s not ready to welcome one man in particular—a grumpy, muscular former hockey player. His smoldering presence is a temptation and a challenge to her long-standing vow not to date cis men. Gavin Williams has no business starting a relationship, least of all with a woman he’s not sure even likes him. He can’t resist the Friendly Bean’s hot, pink-haired owner, but a casual fling is all he can commit to. He’s hoping to leave town for the next stage in his career…if he ever gets the call with the job offer. A friends-with-benefits arrangement is perfect for them both—but neither is ready for the feelings that hit. When the post-hockey life Gavin always dreamed of is suddenly within his grasp, they’ll both have to make a choice: hold tight to what they thought life should look like, or work together to build something new.
