Minor-league hockey in Baton Rouge. A new couple every book. Slow burn with a cinematic fade — all the heat, all the feeling.
The Rougarous Hockey Romances are MM romances set around the Baton Rouge Rougarous, a fictional minor-league hockey team in a Louisiana city that claims its teams completely.

Reader questions
What order should I read the Rougarous Hockey Romances in?
Holiday Face-Off (Book 1), Mardi Gras on Ice (Book 2), Goalie Fake Out (Book 3), then Right Wing Return Pass (Book 4). Each book is a standalone romance with its own couple and happy ending, but the supporting cast carries over, so reading in order is the richest experience.
How much heat is on the page?
Sensual — on-page desire and physical heat, with the camera fading at the peak. Slow burn with a cinematic fade: all the heat, all the feeling.
Where can I buy the books?
Everywhere ebooks are sold: Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and more, plus libraries through OverDrive and Libby. Each book page has one link that shows every store.
Is the Baton Rouge Rougarous a real team?
No — the Rougarous are a fictional minor-league team, named for the werewolf of Cajun folklore. The Louisiana setting, the food, the music, and the way the city claims its teams are all real.
