In three weeks — September 26th — Penguin are due to publish PUCKING SWEET by Emily Rath, in the UK! It’s the third novel in the author’s acclaimed, internationally-bestselling Jacksonville Rays series. Here’s the synopsis…

The lines between work and play get blurred in this super sexy, inclusive ‘why choose’ hockey romance from the TikTok sensation

My name is Poppy St. James and I’ve just landed my dream job as the Director of Public Relations for the NHL’s hottest new team, the Jacksonville Rays.

But if I want to stay beyond my one-year contract, I’ll have to prove myself.

Easy. PR is in my blood. What’s not so easy are the hockey players.

They’re a real handful – especially party boy defenseman Lukas Novikov.

I don’t care how well Lucas plays hockey. Off the ice, he’s a PR nightmare. The players can all call me PR Barbie all they want, but I’m getting the job done.

I am poised, powerful, and always professional… until the fateful night my phone rings.

One little phone call from home that leads to one drunken mistake, and my carefully balanced life is knocked off-kilter. Now I’m staring down at a little blue plus sign and I have no strategy, no idea what’s next.

All I know is that nothing will ever be the same.

Tropes/Themes:
– Sports romance
– Reverse Harem
– LGBT
– Spicy

The first two novels in the series, PUCKING AROUND and PUCKING WILD, are also available in the UK, published by Penguin.
