Heavy Shot

From the Nashville Assassins: Next Generation series, comes your next book-boyfriend!

Dimitri Titov was on hockey skates before he could walk. All he's ever wanted is to play for the Assassins, his dad's team. After growing up in Russia, he's back in Nashville, Tennessee, and ready to pursue his lifelong goal.

Austen McDavid escaped the kind of life they make Netflix documentaries about. But she has survived and is thriving in her new position, preparing to lead the Assassins' farm team.

A housing mixup leads to a middle-of-the-night encounter so reminiscent of his parents' relationship, Dimitri can't help but wonder if it's fate.

And when everyone is telling you not to go for it, sometimes you just have to line up the shot and let the pucks fly where they may.
