About

Three years of unspoken longing. One unforgettable New Year's kiss. Two pink lines that change everything.
Nora Callahan knows how to manage every crisis at the Pine Hollow Community Rink. Broken equipment, difficult contractors, and demanding schedules are problems she can solve. But when a pregnancy test turns positive six weeks after an unforgettable night with Falcons captain Cole Merritt, Nora discovers that some surprises are too big for even her most carefully organized plans.
Cole has spent years hiding his feelings behind Thursday-morning coffees, quiet conversations, and professional restraint. When Nora reveals that they are having a baby, he does not run. He stays, listens, and begins showing her that she will never have to face the future alone.
But their unexpected baby is not their only challenge. A career opportunity could take Cole away from Pine Hollow and give him the professional future he once believed he wanted. Nora refuses to become the reason he sacrifices his dream, while Cole must decide whether success means chasing a bigger arena or choosing the woman, team, and small town that already feel like home.
Filled with slow-burn longing, friends-to-lovers chemistry, found family, mature communication, and small-town warmth, The Stick Test is a heartwarming hockey romance about discovering that an unexpected beginning may lead to the forever two people have secretly wanted all along.
Step onto the ice with Cole and Nora and discover a tender surprise-pregnancy romance where love, family, and home are worth fighting for. Read The Stick Test today.
