Marek: A Cold Fury Hockey Novel
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: May 22, 2018

Marek Fabritis is used to delivering blows, not receiving them. But when he gets tipped off by an anonymous email about his ex-girlfriend, the news leaves him ice cold—and it’s not because Gracen Moore is getting married to a total jerk. It’s the fact that Marek has a three-year-old daughter he never knew about. Now he’s going back home, not to play knight in shining armor but to make damn sure that no man takes what’s his. For the first time, there might be something more important than hockey.

Gracen Moore has always loved Marek. That’s why she let him go, so he could pursue a career in the NHL. And that’s why she never told him about Lilly. Only now does Gracen realize that she made an unforgivable mistake. But is that any reason for Marek to crash her wedding and make an epic scene? If the spark that still smolders between them is to be trusted, maybe. Still, Gracen’s not getting her hopes up. Because she knows better than anyone that appearances aren’t always what they seem. . . .

Marek has just found out the he is a father and has a 3 1/2 year old little girl. He is so far out of his comfort zone but is determined to get to know his daughter and be the best father he can. Family is super important to Marek so he should have no problem with the transition.

Gracen is riddled with guilt for keeping Lily from Marek for all these years but she thought she was doing the right thing. He wanted freedom when he left, a baby speaks to everything but freedom. She is a super mom with a great nursing career to keep her busy.

When Marek and Gracen start to sort out this next adventure they quickly realize that feeling they shared all those years ago might not be as far buried as they hoped. Is it possible for a second chance? Can they truly forgive and move on? Will they move on together?

As with the other Cold Fury books I enjoyed the characters and the banter between the teammates.

Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released multiple books, many of which have appeared on the New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.
A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone.
Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active daughter, as well as full-time servant to her adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or even better, both.
Sawyer also writes general and women’s fiction under the pen name S. Bennett and sweet romance under the name Juliette Poe.
