Summary
Aged up and thrown into the pressure cooker of modern collegiate athletics, the Mighty Ducks reunite for a shot at the Under-21 Goodwill Games. Julie Gaffney, the championship goalie from Maine, just wants to prove herself. Dean Portman, the enforcer from Chicago, just wants to hit things. They didn't plan on each other. In the glittering distraction of Los Angeles, between punishing practices and the seductive glow of fame, a spark ignites—a reckless, hungry, all-consuming thing built on stolen moments, whispered nicknames, and the desperate need for a distraction from the weight of expectation. But love born in the fire of a tournament might not survive the cold, hard reality of what comes after. When scholarships to Eden Hall University fracture the team, and Dean walks away from everything—including Julie—they're left to navigate heartbreak, identity, and the relentless glare of social media, wondering if some saves are impossible, and if some losses are permanent. A complete, novel-length reimagining of D2: The Mighty Ducks and D3: The Mighty Ducks, told through sweat, sex, slapshots, and the terrifying, glorious free-fall of first love.
