A Ridgeview University Hockey Romance - Book Three
Piper Vale notices everything.
The nervous laugh. The almost-text. The guy pretending not to care when he absolutely does. She can decode everyone else's love life from across a crowded room.
Everyone except Knox Maddox.
Knox is Ridgeview hockey's sarcastic defenseman with a dangerous smile, a habit of stealing fries off Piper's plate, and a talent for turning every serious moment into a joke. Piper calls him emotionally suspicious. Knox calls her impossible.
They are both right.
When a diner argument turns into a reckless bet, Piper gets two weeks to figure out what Knox actually wants. If she wins, Knox has to stop stealing her fries and publicly admit she was right about him.
If she loses?
One real date.
What starts as a challenge quickly becomes something neither of them can control: late-night texts, forced proximity, real kisses, family wounds, team chaos, and a connection that feels far too dangerous to name.
Because Piper is used to watching from the outside.
Knox is used to hiding behind the joke.
And the closer they get, the more they realize the scariest thing about love is not being seen.
It is being seen completely... and hoping the other person stays.
The Trouble Bet is a funny, emotional, high-chemistry college hockey romance with sharp banter, forced proximity, real kisses, found-family chaos, stolen fries, and a bet neither of them should have made.
