The Goalie’s Good Luck Charm

He’s guarding the net. She’s guarding her heart. But fate—and a batch of cinnamon rolls—has other plans.

When a trade sends goaltender Eli Carter from the Maple Ridge Lumberjacks to the Katahdin Wildcats, he swears he’s done believing in luck. One bad knee and a thousand what-ifs later, he’s just hoping to prove he still belongs on the ice.

Mia Bennett doesn’t have time for superstition—or romance. Running the Snowdrift Bakery and raising her eight-year-old son means early mornings, late nights, and zero room for distractions – especially the tall, soft-spoken goalie who keeps showing up for “one last” cinnamon roll before every game.

When the Wildcats’ winning streak turns her pastries into a local legend, Mia finds herself in the spotlight she never wanted—and in the orbit of a man who makes her believe in second chances.

Between pre-dawn coffee, rink-side laughter, and a Thanksgiving charity game that could change everything, Eli and Mia learn that luck isn’t found in a charm – it’s something you make together.

A small-town, single-mom hockey romance brimming with warmth, wit, and cinnamon-sugar heart, The Goalie’s Good Luck Charm is perfect for fans of found family, cozy autumn nights, and love stories that prove some saves happen off the ice.
