Wake Up, Nat & Darcy
Kate Cochrane
Second-chance, rivals-to-lovers queer romance
Ex-lovers. Ex-rivals. New cohosts. Oh, puck.
Cut from the U.S. women’s hockey team right before her third chance at gold, Natalie Carpenter is scrambling for a plan that’ll help her avoid moving back home. The answer: a guest hosting gig on Wake Up, USA’s winter games coverage. Her co-host: Darcy LaCroix, Nat’s ex-girlfriend, one-time college teammate turned adversary.
Since leaving Team Canada, Darcy has worked hard to make a name in broadcasting. If her big break requires sharing screen time with the former cocky freshman who turned her world upside down, so be it. At this point, there’s nothing between them except history.
But audiences disagree. #PuckingHotties is trending hard, and Nat and Darcy agree to lean into it...for ratings, obviously. It’s not like Nat can forget the way Darcy broke her heart or their bitter team rivalry. Between working, traveling together, and that irresistible spark, it’s getting hard to separate what’s real and what’s for the camera. Because somewhere underneath everything that went wrong is the sneaking suspicion that nothing will ever feel quite this right again.

"A fun and flirty enemies to lovers romance, Wake Up, Nat & Darcy is perfection on ice. A stunning, sporty sapphic debut you won’t soon forget. —Jennifer Dugan, Author of Love at First Set
“This book will have you on the edge of your seat until the final buzzer! Nat and Darcy will be your new favorite team.” —Camille Kellogg, author ofJust As You Are
"Wake Up, Nat and Darcy had me kicking my feet from the start. Everything about it is delicious: the banter, the Winter Olympics hijinks, and most importantly of all, the genuine chemistry and history between Darcy and Natalie. I was rooting so hard for both of them, and for their lovers-to-enemies storyline to finally loop back to lovers. The sapphic hockey romance of my dreams!" —Anita Kelly, author of How You Get the Girl
