Broadcast Burn

“Interview him?” I say after I turn off my mic. “After he called me a clickbait gremlin on live TV? Has the league and my dignity both taken a puck to the head?”

Derek “Flash” Reynolds is hockey royalty—grizzled winger, media menace, and currently one viral tantrum away from forced retirement.
I’m Simone Taylor: podcaster, chaos documentarian, and the woman who leaked his trade rumor before breakfast.

Our punishment?
Joint PR appearances.
Weekly recordings.
Fake smiles.
Real sparks.

Derek is supposed to be temporary damage control.
Except he’s… polite. And loyal. And strangely obsessed with my Spotify playlists.
Also? He’s smart.

Now our banter’s on air, our chemistry’s off the charts, and I’m starting to wonder if my biggest scandal wasn’t the rumor I broke—it’s the man I’m falling for.

But the deeper I dig, the more I realize: this team has secrets, and Derek might be the key witness… or the next casualty.

Broadcast Burn is a spicy enemies-to-lovers interracial hockey romance with sizzling tension, and late-night confessions caught on tape. Perfect for fans of sharp banter, high heat, and emotionally damaged athletes.
