The Stanley Cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut my annoying ex-boyfriend is the team's goalie, and the paparazzi is loving it. What's worse is, my absentee father decides to make an appearance and won't leave me alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'm ignoring it all. My ultimate goal is to win the Cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen my best friend's younger brother, Adrian, shows up to interview me for the sports segment of the evening news. He's nervous and unsure, so I have to help him. We grew up together, but I barely noticed him then.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'm definitely noticing him now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdrian\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur sports reporter is injured, so I have to cover the hockey game when my ultimate goal is to be a hard news reporter. Not only am I camera shy, but I know nothing about sports. Sure, I know Rip Tremaine-I've had a crush on him for years.

With my job on the line, Rip comes up with a plan: Get my own sports show to prove I can be on camera. I'll pretend to be his boyfriend, and no one will know, not even my brother.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'll have unlimited access to the team.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd Rip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe can do this. We're professionals. He's teaching me all about hockey...and kissing. And I'm helping him navigate his father's betrayal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcept neither one of us is pretending anymore. And our ultimate goal now is to win it all: the Cup, my job, and love. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Good Man Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798889490944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Felice Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52679551549621,"sku":"9798889490944","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-ultimate-goal-9798889490944","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
