Emery Bishop has spent her entire life relying on one person-her twin brother, Eli. Growing up with nothing taught them how to survive, but it also taught Emery one unfortunate lesson: she has terrible taste in men.
Now Eli is a star player for the Chicago Reapers, and Emery owns a successful bakery in the heart of the city. Life is finally looking up-until her latest relationship leaves her bruised, heartbroken, and with nowhere else to turn.
So she calls the one person she's always been able to count on.
Her brother.
Ace Wilder likes his life uncomplicated. As one of the Chicago Reapers' top players, his focus is simple: hockey, winning, and keeping relationships firmly off the table. No strings means no drama, no heartbreak, and no one expecting more than he's willing to give.
Then he meets Emery Bishop.
She's nothing like he imagined. Fierce, stubborn, quick-witted, and completely unimpressed by his charm, Emery challenges him at every turn. Worse, she's Eli's twin sister-making her the one woman Ace absolutely shouldn't want.
But the more time they spend together, the harder she becomes to ignore.
Between demanding schedules, unwanted attention, jealous exes, family complications, and the constant pressure of life in the spotlight, every sign points to them staying apart.
Unfortunately, attraction doesn't care about good ideas.
And neither do hearts.
As lines blur and feelings deepen, Ace and Emery must decide whether the risk of losing everything is worth the chance of finding something real.
Because sometimes the person you're meant to be with is the one you never saw coming.
