Two dreams have shaped Ava Langfield’s entire life: making history in professional hockey and winning the heart of the boy she’s loved for years.
Now, she’s closer than ever to both.
As the NHL’s first female goalie coach, Ava is breaking barriers in a sport she refuses to give up on. The only problem? The player she’s coaching is JJ Hanson—her former best friend, the man she never quite got over, and the one person she can never seem to escape.
When a chaotic living arrangement throws them under the same roof, old feelings begin resurfacing. Surrounded by cousins, siblings, toddlers, and one adorable little girl who quickly steals Ava’s heart, keeping her distance from JJ becomes nearly impossible.
But between complicated family dynamics, lingering heartbreak, and careers hanging in the balance, the path back to each other is anything but simple.
Filled with second chances, found family, hockey, and heart-melting romance, Paper Rings is a friends-to-lovers story about chasing impossible dreams—and discovering that sometimes the thing you’ve wanted all along has been waiting for you to come home.
