Description
'Lana has mastered the art of the spicy romcom' ALI HAZELWOOD
A hockey player and a baker shoot their shot in this steamy new romance by Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of The Nanny.
This time they're both playing for keeps . . .
When a very public breakup becomes a PR nightmare for Ian Chase's team, he hopes to focus on his game, but that suddenly seem less likely than a hat trick. With his career and the team's image in jeopardy, Ian is surprised to find a solution through none other than Delilah Baker, his best friend and teammate's little sister . . . who isn't so little anymore.
Delilah Baker is known as 'the darling of baking' on her local cable show, and being in the public eye is her bread and butter. But with her numbers dwindling and her producers turning up the heat, Delilah offers up the half-baked idea to collaborate with her brother's team to entice the hockey fans of Boston to tune in to her show. Delilah thinks it will be a piece of cake - until the team sends Ian Chase, her brother's best friend and the object of a decade-long crush that she's never quite gotten over.
Delilah's and Ian's teams think it's a true win-win situation - gaining higher numbers for Delilah's show and casting Ian in a more positive light. And viewers are eating them up like a cupcake, sparking the idea to play up their relationship for the goal of good press. With more than just their careers on thin ice, the line between what's real and what's for show begins to blur, but one thing's for certain: This PR stunt will either be a total game changer - or leave them both totally pucked.

It is no secret that I have and will always devour anything Lana Ferguson writes. The Game Changer is her first dab at sports romance, and boy, I was immediately obsessed. This book has Ferguson's addictive brand of delicious spice and story-telling, plus one of the tropes I'll never get tired of reading: brother's best friend * Elena Armas *More details

Person
Lana Ferguson is a sex-positive nerd whose works never shy from spice or sass. A faded Fabio book cover found its way into her hands at fifteen, and she's never been the same since. When she isn't writing, you can find her randomly singing show tunes, arguing over which Batman is superior, and subjecting her friends to the extended editions of The Lord of the Rings. Lana lives mostly in her own head but can sometimes be found chasing her corgi through the coppice of the great American outdoors.
