King of Cups

di Phoebe Woods (Autore)

Phoebe Woods, 2023

In Boston, hockey is a religion—he's a god, and she's not sure what she's supposed to believe in. Eloise Davies is broke as a joke that wasn't funny the first time. Since leaving her job as a bench chemist, Eloise has pursued her dream in private investigation, all the while struggling to actually get anywhere. Her last-ditch effort is a case with the Boston Bruins, whose most promising recruit may have a darker past than a bright future. To get close to him and whatever he's hiding, Eloise will go undercover—that is, if she can get past the captain first. Jacques Lavesque's picture-perfect image is starting to crack around the edges. He's in the middle of a contentious—but secret—separation from his wife, and on the cusp of what could be the most important hockey season of his career thanks to a closed-off rookie and the return of a controversial teammate. He is at an unfamiliar impasse, especially when it comes to the guilt-ridden allure of Eloise the intern. There's something about her that he just can't shake, and maybe doesn't want to shake. As Jacques and Eloise circle each other—delicately, warily, but nevertheless magnetically—they will peel back layers of themselves to the people they want to be. But before they can get to those deeply-rooted hopes, they'll have to survive the emotional impact of this season—and all the secrets that come with it.
