9

Connell

Axel

by Samantha Whiskey

2019

Axel, a Swedish hockey star devoted to raising his younger brother, finally agrees to join the Carolina Reapers on one condition, that head of PR Langley marry him for six months, turning a fake-contract marriage into a very real shot at forever.

Series background & context

The Carolina Reapers books follow a brand-new NHL franchise in Charleston, South Carolina, where the ice is cold, the southern nights are hot, and every player is nursing a secret that has nothing to do with hockey. Each novel pairs a different Reaper with the one person most likely to shake his priorities, so you can drop into any book and still feel the locker-room camaraderie and ongoing friendships.

Things kick off with Axel, where a Swedish star who refused the NHL to raise his younger brother finally signs with the Reapers, but only if head of PR Langley agrees to a six-month marriage contract. What starts as a backward, bargain marriage becomes a story about trust, found family, and proving that a career-driven heroine does not have to choose between love and the job she fought to build.

In Sawyer, a steady forward takes the roster spot so his new team can help care for his mother as she battles Parkinson’s, only to fall for Echo, the fearless bartender who insists their connection stay casual. Connell lightens the mood with a prank-loving Scottish defenseman sentenced to community service in Sweet Water, where buttoned-up city clerk Annabelle becomes both his boss and his unexpected summer romance.

Logan leans into opposites attract when a so-called pretty boy defenseman falls for Delaney, a Charleston librarian who wants nothing to do with celebrity athletes, forcing him to decide when to reveal the truth about his life on the ice. Later books keep exploring that blend of fame and vulnerability, from accidental marriages and teammates’ sisters to grumpy single dads and quiet heroines who finally get noticed.

Across the series you can expect high heat, strong friendships, and a lot of banter in the team’s favorite bar, Scythe. Games, practices, charity events, and family dinners all keep the stakes grounded so the drama comes as much from real-life decisions as from big game moments.

The Reapers also connect tightly to Samantha Whiskey’s other sports worlds, especially the Seattle Sharks, Raleigh Raptors, and Billionaire's Game books, so readers who enjoy seeing familiar characters grow up, retire, or change roles will find plenty to follow. You can read the series straight through or dip in for particular tropes, knowing each couple gets a complete arc and a guaranteed happy ending.
