An instant USA Today bestseller

A hockey player and a baker shoot their shot in this steamy new romance by Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of The Nanny.

When a very public breakup becomes a PR nightmare for Ian Chase's team, he hopes to focus on his game, but that suddenly seem less likely than a hat trick. With his career and the team’s image in jeopardy, Ian is surprised to find a solution through none other than Delilah Baker, his best friend and teammate's little sister…who isn’t so little anymore.

Delilah Baker is known as “the darling of baking” on her local cable show, and being in the public eye is her bread and butter. But with her numbers dwindling and her producers turning up the heat, Delilah offers up the half-baked idea to collaborate with her brother’s team to entice the hockey fans of Boston to tune in to her show. Delilah thinks it will be a piece of cake—until the team sends Ian Chase, her brother’s best friend and the object of a decade-long crush that she’s never quite gotten over.

Delilah's and Ian’s teams think it’s a true win-win situation—gaining higher numbers for Delilah’s show and casting Ian in a more positive light. And viewers are eating them up like a cupcake, sparking the idea to play up their relationship for the goal of good press. With more than just their careers on thin ice, the line between what’s real and what’s for show begins to blur, but one thing’s for certain: This PR stunt will either be a total game changer—or leave them both totally pucked.

What the critics say

"It is no secret that I have and will always devour anything Lana Ferguson writes. The Game Changer is her first dab at sports romance, and boy, I was immediately obsessed. This book has Ferguson’s addictive brand of delicious spice and story-telling, plus one of the tropes I’ll never get tired of reading: brother’s best friend. Besides, we get to follow a giant ginger on skates around the ice and a baker who calls him cupcake. It doesn’t get better than this."—Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception

No 3rd act break up 🙌

This was a sweet as a cupcake story of childhood friends/brother’s best friend, to lovers. After being separated for years, Ian returns to town to find that Delilah has become a woman while he was gone. I enjoyed how unwavering and steadfast she was when dealing with Ian’s family drama. She had a solid head on her shoulders and a strong sense of loyalty.
I felt like Ian’s character was a little bit flat. I understand that he felt guilty for keeping his father’s secret, but the fact that he couldn’t recognize that his father was gaslighting him into believing it was his fault, was kind of annoying. It felt kind of juvenile.
I liked the elements of volunteering and giving back to the orphanage where Jack & Delilah briefly lived, but would have liked to see maybe a conversation about becoming foster parents or something like that in the epilogue.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
