Overview:
Pucking Sweet is the third instalment in Emily Rath's international bestselling Jacksonville Rays series, a red-hot, inclusive "why choose" hockey romance that built a devoted following on TikTok. Following PR director Poppy St. James as she navigates career ambition and an unconventional love story with two of the Jacksonville Rays' most magnetic players, this spicy sports romance blends workplace tension, humour, and heart. Fans of found-family romance, reverse harem storylines, and sports fiction will find plenty to love in this immersive addition to the Rays world.

About the Book:
Poppy St. James has just landed her dream job as Director of Public Relations for the NHL's hottest new team, the Jacksonville Rays, but her one-year contract means she has everything to prove in a high-pressure, image-obsessed world. Handling the players is one thing; handling party-boy defenseman Lukas Novikov, notorious for his off-ice antics, is another challenge entirely. Poppy prides herself on staying poised, powerful, and professional, until a fateful phone call blurs the lines between her job and her heart. Pucking Sweet weaves reverse-harem dynamics, LGBT representation, and unapologetically spicy scenes into a story about vulnerability, loyalty, and choosing yourself as much as choosing love. Emily Rath's signature style shines through: witty, fast-paced dialogue, richly drawn locker-room and press-room settings, and emotionally charged character arcs that deepen with every chapter. Longtime readers of the series will enjoy familiar faces and rivalries returning, while new readers will quickly be swept into the Rays' world of ambition, chemistry, and hard-won trust. The result is a page-turning, steamy romance that is also a genuinely heartfelt exploration of building a life and love on your own terms, set against the fast, physical backdrop of professional hockey.
