In a game defined by rules, will they dare to change the play?
Ever heard of a guy who’s nice, funny, cooks like a chef, boasts a six-pack, and is the best player in the NHL?
Well, let me introduce you to Aaron Miles—AKA the biggest test of my self-control.
Aaron and I have been friends since sixth grade, sharing everything from school and vacation to helping me start my business. But one thing I did on my own: falling in love with him.
It’s hopeless. He’s already rejected me once, and besides, as the coach’s daughter, I’m off-limits to everyone on the team, especially Aaron, who has a father-son relationship with my dad.
Yet, the more I try to suppress my feelings, the deeper my attraction grows. It’s hard to resist when he plans the best surprise birthdays and drops everything to be there for me. Oh, and did I mention we’re roommates? And that he loves parading around the apartment with his abs on display?
Yeah, I’m doomed.
I’m trying to get over him—trust me—but lately, there’s something in his eyes I’ve never seen before. An intense glint that mirrors the fire inside me. Surely, it means nothing, right?
It’s my heart playing tricks on me. As a romance reader, I’m prone to jumping to conclusions.
And if there’s one thing I’m sure of, it’s that the Friends to Lovers trope is the less realistic of them all.
I can’t get my hopes up. There’s way too much at stake.
