Rush

KINGSTON RUSH: Goalie 6'3" 215 lbs 36 yrs old from Boston, MassachusettsBecoming a goaltender in the NHL was my singular dream, the one star I aimed to reach and hold. Mission accomplished. Two years back, I stood as the league's top goalie for the third time, and with our Stanley Cup triumph, the Austin Arrows soared to the pinnacle of the hockey universe. We were untouchable, invincible.Or so we thought.Turns out, even at the zenith, gravity can pull you back to the depths. But the plot thickens. Not only did the team tumble from its throne, but I followed suit. Wrongly accused of something I didn't do, I'm now on a quest to polish my sullied reputation.The catch? I'm clueless on how to do it.When the idea of orchestrating a media ruse is floated, I grasp the gravity of the situation. I know there's only one correct path forward. Yet, it's a tangled web, and I'm not the only one who could get hurt.There's just one major problem.I can't refuse. New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nicole Edwards spends her days stringing words together to make complete sentences. Sometimes not. Her best friend is coffee, and she has a love/hate relationship with sarcasm. She's been accused of having a filthy imagination, which she admits is true.Nicole lives in the suburbs of Austin, Texas. She proudly claims one husband, three grown children, and three bosses (better known as the dogs). When she isn't writing, watching football or hockey, or keeping her bosses happy, you can probably find her with a book in hand. Hockey, anyone?
