Rebel Season by Katie Bailey (ePUB)

A handsome, cash‑rich NHL rookie named Archibald Fisher may look like he’s living the dream, but his privileged family treats him like a burden. When his grandfather dies, Arch is forced to choose: tie the knot or lose every cent of his inheritance. His relatives believe a forced marriage will keep the rebellious son in line—yet they’ve never truly understood him.

Lila Chen has practically grown up inside San Francisco’s historic firehouse‑turned‑art collective, a place that feels like family after her mother’s death. When the Fisher Group announces plans to demolish the firehouse, Lila fights desperately to protect her only home, but her efforts keep hitting dead ends.

Enter Archibald with a proposal Lila can’t ignore. What begins as a contract marriage soon blurs into genuine affection, but fragile new love is threatened by Lila’s hidden past and the Fisher family’s relentless schemes.

A new‑adult hockey romance featuring moderate language, frequent innuendo, and explicit sexual references. The romance is blacked out, but themes of grief, emotional, and verbal abuse are present. Readers sensitive to these topics should take note before diving in.
