Scoring a Sweet Thing by Jodi Oliver (ePUB)

Need a quick date before well‑meaning grandmas get too touchy? Meet Remington, a relaxed hockey goalie who names marshmallows one by one. He’s usually unflappable, but the upcoming charity bachelor auction his NHL team is hosting sends his nerves into overdrive. He’s tired of being paired with overly‑affectionate senior fans, so when the PR team offers a loophole—find a plus‑one within a week—he jumps at the chance. A swipe on the Heart2Heart app connects him with Bailey, and the date quickly turns into something more, hinting that she might finally see the real him, quirks and all. This 16‑k‑word short story follows an introverted, tattoo‑sporting goalie with a sweet spot for marshmallows, originally featured in Heart2Heart Anthology Vol. 8, with no added material.
