BLURB 
 
You’d think nearly dying trying to get out of a too-tight gown in a dressing room and being saved by a strong, competent man was a good thing.
 
Not so much, though, when that strong, competent man is your ex. Your secret ex.
 
And the reason you need a gown is because you’re part of a charity auction.
 
The charity auction where he gets into a bidding war to win you.
 
And now, because you’re one of few female coaches in professional baseball, and he’s the captain of the local professional hockey team, and he paid a ridiculous sum of money for you…
 
The entire city is shipping you. You can’t leave your apartment without getting a knowing wink from strangers. Your bosses want to use the publicity to have you jointly launch a new community outreach program.
 
That’s bad enough. It truly is.
 
But even worse?
 
Duncan Lavoie, the green-eyed, curly-haired, dimple-cheeked, hot as lava hockey player wants a second chance. And he’ll play dirty to get it.
 
The Secret Hook-Up is a laugh-out-loud romcom featuring the hot-as-sin hockey captain of the Copper Valley Thrusters, the Copper Valley Fireballs’ lady baseball coach he never got over, and a misbehaving formal gown. It stands alone and comes complete with a happily-ever-after.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Pippa Grant = my happy place and IMO there’s no place happier than the Thruster or Fireballs world UNLESS it’s a Fireballs/Thrusters crossover world!!!!

Duncan and Addie were👌🏻perfect. The banter, the antics, the crazy instance where they meet face to face again… honestly, that dressing room scene…. I felt her pain!!!!

I understood Addie’s hesitance and how closed off to a relationship she was initially. She’s in a predominantly male sporting field and, regardless of how well she’s doing or what positive things people say, she still doubts that there’s security in her role or that she’s truly wanted for who she is.

Duncan was Addie’s biggest champion. He didn’t want her to change and he was so supportive of her and everything she was trying to achieve. I loved how he thought about her and that he saw ‘her’ not the coach she let everyone else see.

This pair (and their respective team/teammates) had me laughing at their antics. Both of them had so many people rooting for them and there to support them.

‘Daddie’ had so much chemistry, heat and passion but it was the other moments between them that showed how fabulous they could be together.

A fantastic read. Another hit from Ms Pippa.

AUTHOR BIO 

Pippa Grant wanted to write books, so she did. Before she became a USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling romantic comedy author, she was a young military spouse who got into writing as self-therapy. That happened around the time she discovered reading romance novels, and the two eventually merged into a career. Today, she has more than 30 knee-slapping Pippa Grant titles and nine written as Jamie Farrell. When she’s not writing romantic comedies, she’s fumbling through being a mom, wife, and mountain woman, and sometimes trying to find hobbies. Her crowning achievement? Having impeccable timing for telling stories that will make people snort beverages out of their noses. Consider yourself warned.
