Cover Reveal: Lightning the Lamp

 


I can’t stop looking at her like she’s the only thing keeping me upright.

 

Lighting the Lamp, an all-new childhood friends to lovers, slow burn, small town hockey romance and the third standalone book in the Portland Timberwolves Series from USA Today bestselling author AJ Alexander is now available!

 

I’ve always known exactly who I was: the calm and steady one. The goalie with the best save percentage in the league. The Hendrix brother who never let anyone down. Until my body stopped playing by the rules and suddenly, I’m the one who needs saving.

I came home to heal, not to fall for Alise Moore.

My childhood best friend. The girl who’s always been my safe place. The one person I’ve never had to pretend with.

But now we’re older. Everything’s messier. And I can’t stop looking at her like she’s the only thing keeping me upright.

 

She’s soft where the world’s been sharp. Quiet, but never weak. And when she looks at me like I’m still whole, even when I don’t feel like it, I start to wonder if maybe I could be.

Hockey was always the plan.

But Alise Moore?

She’s the reason I’ll fight to stay standing.

I stare at the screen, chest tightening for an entirely different reason now. Leave it to her to notice the one thing no one else dared say outright. There was something very off about me tonight. The corner of my mouth lifts, just a little. It’s not much, but it’s more than I’ve had in days.

     

I glance at the time: 12:02 a.m. Christmas Eve. And it’s my birthday.

     

Of course, she remembers and is the first person to wish me happy birthday. Well, technically, it was Cooper, if you count the ass-backward way he hinted at my birthday before the start of the game. Alise has always been the first person to congratulate me on any major event in my life, so why should my thirtieth birthday be any different?

     

My thumb hovers over the keyboard as I debate what to say back. Something snarky? Something easy? Something honest?

     

But I know better. No matter how I respond, she’ll read through me in a second. One word, one delay, and she’ll know something’s wrong.
