Lost in Overtime

by Claudia Burgoa

Release Date: April 15, 2026

Two hockey rivals.

One woman they never stopped loving.

And the one thing neither of them is willing to admit out loud.

Blurb:

Two Rivals. One Woman. No Choosing.

Alberto Wade and Callaway Winthrop were my best friends first—until one night broke us, and the three of us stopped being an us.

Now they’re enemies in the league, an “infamous rivalry” splashed across headlines like it’s just hockey.

It isn’t.

It’s me.

It’s what they’ve always wanted and have never been able to agree on.

It’s the way their hate on the ice has always sounded too much like longing off it.

Now, a shocking trade and an emergency back home drag us back into the same orbit. Older. harder. Still dangerous. Still looking at me like I’m the only thing they’ve ever wanted.

They still want to win.

They still want me.

I still refuse to choose.

But second chances come with scars, secrets, and promises we never got to finish—until a single mistake turns into two pink lines . . .

I’m pregnant—with a baby that isn’t theirs.

The timing is brutal. The fallout is inevitable. And the only way we survive what comes next is if they stop making me choose—stop pretending their rivalry is the only fire between them—and finally admit what’s been burning between all three of us all along.

Because this time . . .

They’re not just fighting for a season.

They’re fighting for us.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. This was full of angst, doubt, love, and steam. Three friends took that step beyond friendship and broke apart. Circumstances brought them all back together, and they realized they needed to work things out as their hearts were still entangled. Fear of exposure held them back for a bit, but the love was stronger. I enjoyed the takedown of Callaway's family and loved how Callaway (Cally) and Alberto (Monty) took on support of Vesper's baby immediately. A hot story with plenty of ups and downs, very entertaining.
The narrators did a wonderful job. I always enjoy Erin Mallon and Gomez Pugh. Robert Hatchet was new to me, and I look forward to hearing more from him.
