What So Proudly We Hail

She’s chasing the truth. He’s blocking every shot… except the one to his heart.

I’m being sent to Washington, D.C. as a punishment.
Weeks of watching hockey. Reporting on sports when I usually chase criminals, corruption, and scandals is pure torture. Apparently, being too good at my job comes with consequences.
And NHL defenseman Baptiste Marchand is the embodiment of everything that’s making this assignment unbearable.
Privileged, confident, and annoyingly charming.
But when he walks in on me while I’m digging for dirt behind the NHL scenes—don’t tell my boss—I end up scoring an interview with him instead… and start seeing him in a very different light.
He ropes me into meeting his friends, attending charity galas, and wandering through summer festivals—all against my will—and suddenly, I’m questioning whether the loner life I’ve built so carefully is actually making me happy.
And when ghosts from my past resurface, threatening my future, Baptiste is right there, helping me uncover the truth. Slowly, all the walls I’ve built around my heart start to crumble, and I begin to wonder if he might be the one person I never even knew I was looking for.
But chasing the truth has consequences.
And I may have gone too far.
I just don’t know if he’ll ever forgive me for it.
