Slashing Bryce

Coming soon...

Hello my friends

This will be the fourth book in the Hooking Nash series on Wattpad, which will become part of the Empires Hockey Series when it is traditionally published. The first book, Hooking Nash, is currently scheduled for release at the end of 2026. Upon publication, Hooking Nash and Tripping Kennedy will be combined into a single novel as Book One of the series, while Mitchell's Power Play will become Book Two. Slashing Bryce will then be the third book in the Empires Hockey Series.

But before all that happens...

Slashing Bryce is coming here first.

There are a few slight changes to the overall story and timeline compared to the earlier books, but the characters and settings you've come to know remain the same.

I hope you enjoy Bryce and Maria's story.

One night. One mistake. One secret that could wreck everything.

After a drunken night neither of them saw coming, Bryce Roehm wakes up next to his best friend's little sister. Not willing to risk his friendship with Mitchell, they silently agree to keep what happened between them quiet.

Bryce, a veteran enforcer for the New York Empires hockey team, is nearing the end of his career. Maria Evans is eight years younger and just starting hers — a part-time college student and nanny to his teammate Nash Reed's son, Ethan. She's everything he knows he should stay away from.

Their worlds aren't supposed to collide — and yet they do, in the messiest, most unforgettable way.

Maria knows all about Bryce's reputation as a perpetual bachelor. And while she wouldn't mind a repeat — because he clearly knows exactly what he's doing — she's not willing to be just another notch on his belt.

Keeping their distance would be smart.

Keeping the secret would be smarter.

But when hearts get involved, nothing ever stays simple.
