Wild Darling

Description

The captivating BookTok sensation returns with the most devilish brother of all! From bestselling author Alexandra Moody comes Wild Darling, the highly anticipated third book in the addictive Darling Devils series. Perfect for fans of Hannah Grace, Lynn Painter, and sweet ice-hockey fiction, this delightful Young Adult sports romance delivers a beautifully clean, slow-burn contemporary story packed with witty banter, intense rivalries, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

She’s finally ready to take a shot at her goals. He doesn’t realize that his heart is wide open…

Parker Darling is fully prepared to take center ice now that his older brothers have left to play hockey in college. He shows up to the very first practice ready to claim his rightful spot as the team captain of the Ransom Devils, only to find a brand-new coach running the rink—one who already completely hates Parker for a dumb mistake he made years ago. To make matters worse, it’s a mistake he made with the direct help of Coach Foster’s fiercely independent daughter, Mackenzie.

Kenzie Foster lives and breathes hockey, too, and she happens to be an absolutely ruthless goalie on the ice. If only her strict dad hadn’t completely forbidden her from playing—not that she’d ever want to be on any team alongside that arrogant, frustrating jerk Parker Darling anyway. She can’t believe she’s stuck sitting on the bench at a brand-new school, forced to watch the Ransom Devils struggle to win without the combined force of all three legendary Darling brothers.

Parker absolutely hates losing, and when the Devils’ star goalie is unexpectedly cut from the roster, he knows he has to step up, swallow his pride, and lead his team back to greatness. Kenzie, meanwhile, sees a wide-open net and an unused uniform just waiting to prove her father wrong. To save the season, these two bitter rivals will need to work together to reach their goals—without getting too close to making another massive mistake.

Expertly channeling the beloved enemies-to-lovers, coach’s daughter, forced proximity, and sports romance tropes, Wild Darling delivers a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud YA rom-com filled with wholesome tension, deep teamwork, and a beautifully sweet slow-burn dynamic on and off the ice.
