Consider Brooklynaire by Sarina Bowen.
“Brooklynaire is a glossy, steam-forward contemporary romance that pairs a wealthy hockey-team owner with the woman who manages his team; it trades slow-building complexity for immediate sexual tension and workplace chemistry. what works best is escapist pleasure—snappy dialogue, repeated heat scenes, and a tidy emotional resolution. Its main limitation is predictability and reliance on familiar billionaire/office tropes, with secondary characters often in service of the central romance rather than fully developed arcs.”
