How All In Began
Helena Hunting, a New York Times bestselling author known for her Pucked series, launched All In as a spin-off to continue her love affair with hockey romance. Inspired by the camaraderie and intensity of professional sports, Hunting crafted All In to focus on a fresh roster of players, blending her signature humor with heartfelt storytelling. Published starting in 2019, the series builds on the Pucked universe, featuring cameos from fan-favorite characters while introducing new heroes and heroines whose chemistry lights up the page.
The Heart of All In
The All In series kicks off with A Lie for a Lie, where Rook ‘RJ’ Bowman, a charming NHL captain, escapes to Alaska for solitude, only to fall for Lainey, a quirky, non-hockey fan. Their second-chance romance unfolds with secrets and surprises, setting the tone for the series’ blend of angst and steam. A Favor for a Favor follows Bishop, a gruff player sidelined by injury, and Stevie, his team captain’s vibrant sister, in a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers tale packed with witty banter.
A Secret for a Secret introduces Ryan Kingston, a rule-following goalie whose one wild night with Queenie sparks chaos and passion, exploring themes of trust and vulnerability. The series wraps with A Kiss for a Kiss, a heartfelt story of unexpected love and family ties. Each book weaves humor, spicy romance, and the gritty realism of professional hockey, with themes of honesty, redemption, and the courage to embrace second chances. Hunting’s vivid Seattle setting and authentic sports details immerse readers in a world where love scores as often as the players do.
