Goalie Locks and the Girl

He guards the net. She breaks through defenses.

When a kitchen fire forces Utah Yeti goalie Beck Hartley into a short-term rental in the middle of hockey season, he’s determined to keep his tried-and-true routines intact. After all, nothing—not distractions, not chaos, and definitely not dating—is worth risking the focus that makes his career possible.

What he doesn’t expect is to discover someone else has booked the same house. A surprise roommate was not part of the game plan.

As a newly hired child life specialist at Primary Children’s Hospital, Hallie Calloway moved to Salt Lake City to help kids find courage on their toughest days—and maybe bring them light and laughter. Not to share a home with the broody hockey player with legendary hair whose routines are practically a competitive sport.

But somewhere between game-day superstitions, an unfortunate laundry incident involving Beck’s lucky shirt, barefoot runs through the snow at two in the morning, and a smart-home system that announces Beck’s arrival with a dramatic theme song, something changes.

Keeping things temporary starts feeling impossible.

Goalie Locks and the Girl is an opposites-attract, clean hockey romcom filled with forced proximity, slow-burn chemistry, found family, laugh-out-loud banter, one unlucky lucky shirt, and two unexpected roommates who discover that some things are not meant to stay temporary.
