Ella Fantilli has two rules: never date her brothers' teammates, and never let a hockey boy get under her skin. Luke Hughes does both. As a star soccer player and athletic trainer-in-training at the University of Michigan, Ella has her hands full balancing her sport, her studies, and the chaos of being surrounded by hockey players-including her brothers and their endlessly dramatic teammates. But everything gets more complicated when she meets Luke, cocky, infuriating, and wearing the same number as her: 43. Their rivalry starts on day one-with chirps, glares, and competitive tension that's impossible to ignore. He's her professional nemesis. They're supposed to hate each other. But when fate throws them back together years later in New Jersey-both working for the Devils-the rivalry burns hotter than ever. And this time, there's no one around to stop them. Enemies to teammates. Teammates to something more. They were always destined to crash.

When a late-night loss sends the New Jersey Devils into a slump, team intern Emilia Hartley does the unthinkable-she writes a letter. Not to the press, not to her boss, but to Luke Hughes. Anonymously. Just a note of encouragement, slipped into his locker, never meant to be anything more. But one letter turns into two, and then ten, and suddenly she's pouring her heart into words she'll never claim. Luke Hughes doesn't know who keeps writing to him. All he knows is that the letters started when everything felt like it was falling apart-and somehow, they're the only thing holding him together. He becomes obsessed with finding out who his mystery supporter is, never realizing the answer is right under his nose: the quiet girl with coffee-stained notebooks and a smile he's never seen. As his game gets better, so does their connection-but the truth can't stay hidden forever. And when the letters stop, he'll risk everything to find out who she is... and whether her words were ever meant just for him.

When moving in with your recently widowed Nanna turns into an unexpected love story.
