Breaking the cardinal rule of hockey—don’t date your teammate’s sister—is a mistake that haunts one star player long after the final buzzer. After a celebratory night turns into an unforgettable, chemistry-fueled encounter, Elise flees, leaving behind more than just a memory. While she assumes their one-night stand was merely a fleeting moment for a typical jock, her brother’s best friend is harboring a much deeper obsession. Three months later, the player is unable to move on. He is tired of playing games and is ready to prove that his intentions are anything but casual. He knows exactly what he wants, and he is determined to win Elise over, despite the complicated social dynamics and the risk of betraying his teammate. Featuring the beloved "brother’s best friend" trope, this steamy romance explores the tension between loyalty and desire. As he shifts his focus from the rink to winning her heart, he proves that he is ready to play for keeps. Can he convince Elise that he is the man she never knew she needed, or will the weight of their secret keep them apart forever? The game is officially on, and he isn't backing down.
