Open Book

A Cute and Cozy Hockey Romance

By: Cassie Rivers

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Some stories you write. Some stories write you.

Hazel has three rules: keep the scholarship, survive pre-med, and never let anyone find the romance novels she writes after midnight. Love is gorgeous on the page, but in real life, it’s a distraction a scholarship girl can’t afford.

Then she crashes into Wes Mercer on the snowy library steps, scatters her most secret notebook across the ice, and discovers the boy who helped her gather it is the one name the entire campus is watching.

Wes is carrying something heavier than a hockey season: his late mother’s unfinished love story, and a promise to complete it before the fifth anniversary of losing her. When he finds out Hazel secretly writes romance, he asks for the one thing she swore she’d never give anyone at Calder: help.

It’s supposed to be a few writing sessions. A favor. Nothing she can’t walk away from.

But every argument they have about the fictional couple starts sounding dangerously like a story about them. And the closer Hazel gets to writing the ending of his mother’s book, the more terrified she is of how it might rewrite her own.

He’s the distraction she can’t afford.
She’s the ending he’s too scared to write.

Open Book is a swoony, slow-burn, closed-door college hockey romance set in a cozy New England town where a whole team will adopt you over diner hot chocolate. Happily ever after guaranteed.
