What You Will Find in Books 3, 4, and 5

These final three releases brought new dynamics to the Wolves world.

Book 3: Short Side follows Carter Knox, a rookie who performs charm like a survival strategy, and Wren Gallagher, the team photographer who sees through every mask he wears. Their fake dating arrangement was supposed to be simple. It becomes something neither of them knows how to name. This is the golden retriever hero taken seriously: all that enthusiasm hides someone who does not know who he is without an audience.

Book 4: Last Change gives us Vince Mercer, the veteran defenseman who has carried one conversation for seven years, and Elara Vasquez, the single mom and event producer who forgot his name. When she is hired to produce the Wolves' Heritage Season celebration, their paths cross again. This is a story about showing up quietly, consistently, and what happens when the man who never asks for anything finally speaks.

Book 5: Last Save closes the series with Milo Varga, the Wolves' goaltender, and Risa Kwon, a woman fourteen years his senior whose path crosses his at exactly the wrong time. Milo sees everything and says exactly enough. Risa has built a life on her own terms and has zero interest in making space for a younger man with that much ahead of him. The age gap is not decorative, it is the whole reason the slow burn has weight. This is the series finale, and it carries the earned emotional payoff of watching Portland become a family across five books.

All five books are available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited.

How to Read the Series

You have options. Each book stands alone, so you can start wherever the tropes speak to you:

• Forbidden romance with dual-guarded leads: Start with Unassisted
• Journalism ethics and performed joy: Start with Between the Glass
• Fake dating with hidden depth: Start with Short Side
• Seven years of pining and a bonus dad: Start with Last Change
• Reverse age gap with a quiet goaltender: Start with Last Save

Reading in order adds layers: you will catch references to earlier couples, watch secondary characters become leads, and feel the team become something like family. But you will never need the next book to feel satisfied. That promise holds.

Thank you for reading, and for waiting. The series is complete.
