Golden boy. Notorious serial dater. The NHL’s most eligible bachelor.

That’s what the headlines say about me, at least. I wish I could say they’re not accurate, but truthfully? I don’t even know who I am anymore.

Between a soul-crushing ex-girlfriend and a never-ending queue of dates gone wrong, one thing has become glaringly obvious: I don’t want to be Adam Lockwood.

So when my dog decides to play matchmaker, taking down a sweet little thing with rose gold waves, brilliant green eyes, and a smile for days, I can’t believe my luck that she doesn’t have a clue who I am. I know I should tell her, but for once in my life someone sees the man behind the goalie mask.

Rosie gives me all of her–her heartache, her laughter, and her son. But me? I’m holding on a little too tightly to the pieces I’m scared to give up, the pieces she might not like.

One small lie becomes a secret hanging above my head, but what if there’s another one hiding right around the corner?

Suddenly, my deepest desire becomes my biggest fear.

I’m terrified she’s going to unravel me.

Unravel Me is book #3 in the Playing For Keeps series, a series of interconnected standalone mature hockey romance stories that contain relatable characters, lots of heat, swoon, laughs, and a ride on an emotional rollercoaster!

Please note: Unravel Me contains emotional references to the past death of parents and its surrounding grief, as well as brief discussions of foster care. If you are sensitive to these subjects, please use this information to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with this story.

Becka Mack

Becka Mack’s writing career started in a way that many could never predict—after experiencing a deeply personal loss. What began as an outlet for grief turned into a passion that connected her with readers from all walks of life. Known for her emotionally layered, steamy romances, Becka’s stories are packed with humor, heartache, and unforgettable characters who tug at your heartstrings long after the last page is turned.

When Becka isn’t channeling her sarcasm and wit into her characters or crafting emotional roller coasters, you can find her juggling her other roles as a kindergarten teacher and mom. Her little boy, who definitely takes after her, and her collection of animals provide plenty of material for her social media musings and occasional distractions. But writing always finds its way into her heart, especially when it comes to weaving together her favorite themes: healing, love, and finding the strength to push through life’s toughest moments.
