ABOUTquote
I have four great passions in life: writing, reading, my sourdough starter, and my dog Zoe. I’m Naomi, born and raised in Italy. I started out reading the great classics, and a few years ago I fell in love with romance — first as a reader, and now as an author. I hope my stories can keep you company, make you smile, and maybe even make you feel something. Because honestly, I’m the first one who has way too much fun and gets emotional like a fool while writing them. See you in the comments!

The Hockey Captain’s Secret Son
Updated at Aug 11, 2026, 07:48
Wren Ashford thought life couldn’t get more complicated than being a single mom, working full-time at her dream job, fighting for a place at a national sports network, and still somehow remembering to breathe. She was wrong. With the playoffs coming up, Wren is assigned to cover the local hockey team: interviews, games, practices, charity galas. It should be the opportunity that finally takes her career to the next level. It isn’t. Because the hockey captain everyone loves is the only man in the world she hates. Gideon Marsh. The man she had one reckless night with in college. Her son’s father. The man who once made it painfully clear he wanted nothing to do with the consequences of that night. And now, apparently, the man who thinks he still has the right to flirt with her, touch her, and question the life she built without him. Wren has spent six years believing Gideon turned his back on them. She has a letter to prove it. She’s never once wondered whether he actually wrote it. But Gideon Marsh is used to winning. And once he realizes the little boy wearing his number has his eyes, his hair, and his blood… He won’t just want answers. He’ll want everything.
