Please be aware that the following information does contain spoilers; however, I want to offer all my readers the opportunity to be fully versed in all potentially triggering scenarios prior to reading.  \nOffseason contains discussion around alcohol abuse and the breakdown of a marriage. There is also discussion around infertility. This book contains a pregnant character who goes into labor (on-page), however there are no complications with the labor or the birth. This book also includes the breeding trope (between the main characters) .  \nThroughout this book, you will find explicit sexual scenes and strong language.  \nI hope that after digesting these warnings, you decide to continue reading this story. Will and Drew are very close to my heart, and I hope you enjoy their extended story following the release of Fair Game.  \nHappy reading! Lots of love, always,  \nRuth  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nTo my amazing readers,  \nFirstly, I want to thank you for reading my very first novella, Offseason.  \nBeing totally honest with you, when I initially mapped out The Rules of The Rink series, this book wasn’t a part of my plans. Five books, five couples, and five very different stories were what I anticipated as I started drafting.  \nBut who was I kidding? By now I should know that where the Jones boys are concerned, anything is possible, and you guys absolutely blew my mind with your love for Drew and Will in Fair Game.  \nAnd that got me thinking …what if Will and Drew’s love story wasn’t quite complete? What if there were still a few more chapters before they were done?  \nI wrote Code Violation and started drafting Break in Play, but still, that feeling wouldn’t rest and neither would the idea of a Jones family novella.
