Hate the Player

(Coming February 9, 2027)

After a brutal hockey season, Tony DeLuca hides out in his family’s Brooklyn hardware store for the summer—where he meets Jasmine Delaney. The guarded single mom next door wants nothing to do with charming men or professional athletes, so Tony keeps his NHL identity to himself while fixing up her crumbling apartment, falling for her son, and getting dangerously attached to the one woman who likes him better as a nobody.

What to Expect from Hate the Player:

• A hockey player grudgingly spending his summer selling hardware

• The single mom next door who hates hockey players

• A little white lie that wasn’t supposed to spiral out of control

• Team group chat mayhem
