The Marriage Goal

To love and to cherish, until death or visa fraud do us part.

Juliet:

Taking a job as the Caldwell Chargers’ new legal counsel was a calculated risk of pros and cons. It’s a prestigious position at my age, but I’m stuck working with my older brother’s best friend—the man who broke my teenage heart eight years ago.

Ignoring Myles Delavan should be easy. Too bad my heart isn’t getting the memo. The flirty goalie with gorgeous hair is a tempting distraction I can’t afford. Right up there with my medical bills.

When a handsy fan crosses the line with him, all my logic flies out the window, and I stupidly announce myself as Myles’s fiancée. A marriage of convenience definitely wasn’t on the agenda. But I need his money to cover my medication, and he needs my citizenship to avoid being deported back to Canada.

Romance isn’t on the list, but if Myles keeps up his steady pursuit against my well-fortified defenses, I’m in danger of getting my heart broken all over again.

Myles:

Eight years ago, Juliet Satterfield tried to kiss me. And for the last eight years, I’ve wished I’d let her.

Walking away from her that night was the hardest decision I ever made, but it was the only way to keep her safe—from me.

Marrying her isn’t the ideal way to protect her. But staying away from her? Impossible when she flashes that enchanting grumpy scowl at me.

I’m already head over heels in love with my wife, and she has no idea. But I won’t be the man who breaks her heart… again.

The Marriage Goal is a hockey rom-com featuring a marriage of convenience between a grumpy, neurodivergent lawyer and the steady, bookish goalie who loves her. It’s filled with plenty of heartfelt healing, everyday faith, swoony banter, and laugh aloud small town shenanigans—all without the spice.
