She's Not Just the Sweet One — Meet Zoey from Sweet Score

Apr 7

When people hear Sweet Score, they expect a soft story about a grumpy hockey player melting for a sunshine baker.

And sure, there’s sweetness. There’s sugar. There’s lemon-glazed cookies and stolen glances.

But don’t mistake sweet for weak.

Zoey Daniels is fire wrapped in frosting. She's spent her whole life proving that she can run a bakery, honor her father's hockey legacy, and stand her ground—even when that ground is toe-to-toe with the infamously gruff right wing of the San Antonio Falcons.

Here’s a scene I had to share—the moment she puts Mason Michaels in his place and takes back her narrative:

“You don’t know what it’s like to be hated for how you play it.”
“Oh, boo-hoo,” I said, poking him in the chest. “You want to throw a pity party, go sit on the bench. I’m not scared of media attention. What I do hate is being treated like some delicate porcelain doll who doesn’t get a say in her own damn story.”
His eyes darkened. His jaw ticked. His breath came a little heavier. And still, he didn’t back away.
“Zoey—”
“No,” I said, grabbing the front of his shirt. “You don’t get to stand there and act like kissing me would burn down my life.”

Yep. She went there.

And what happens after this moment? Let’s just say it changes everything.

If you love:

🔥 Enemies-to-lovers energy with tension so thick you could frost a cake with it
🏒 Grumpy hockey players falling hard for strong women
🍪 A sunshine heroine who takes no one's crap

…then you’re going to fall headfirst into Sweet Score.

📚 Sweet Score is the first in the Falcons Hockey series—a grumpy-sunshine, slow-burn, hockey romance packed with banter, heart, and the kind of chemistry that explodes when opposites collide.
