Grumpy Goalie - Special Edition Paperback

In the second book in Delancey Stewart’s Wilcox Wombats hockey romcom series, readers get a grumpy-sunshine, fake dating romcom that will have them laughing!

Meet Stephano, a professional hockey player whose life is turned upside down when he discovers a bikini-clad woman trespassing in his hot tub on a freezing winter night. That woman is Hillary, a free-spirited house-sitter who’s locked out of the neighboring home. Stephano, known for his grumpy, no-nonsense demeanor, is not amused—until he realizes that Hillary might just be the perfect solution to a pressing problem: his meddling mother’s determination to marry him off.

Faced with the prospect of his mother’s surprise visit, Stephano makes a snap decision and asks Hillary to pretend to be his girlfriend. Hillary, with her sunny disposition and chaotic energy, is the complete opposite of the women Stephano usually dates, and their fake relationship is anything but smooth sailing. But as they spend more time together, the line between pretending and reality starts to blur, and Stephano finds himself falling for the woman who was never supposed to be more than a temporary fix.

As they navigate their fake relationship, family pressures, and the undeniable chemistry between them, Stephano and Hillary discover that sometimes, the best things in life come from the most unexpected situations. Filled with humor, heart, and the perfect mix of grumpy and sunshine, Grumpy Goalie is a delightful addition to the Wilcox Wombats series, showcasing Delancey Stewart’s trademark wit and romance.
