Rosie Moving to New York was my fresh start, a chance to get away from my disaster of a hometown, and maybe learn how to breathe on my own. Romance? Not on the itinerary. So when I meet a charming, overly confident guy at a bar with golden-blond hair and too many dimples than should be legal, and way too much flirt - I don't expect to see him again. Then I do... on the ice, the very next night. Dylan I've met plenty of girls in bars. Most of them know who I am, Rosie didn't. And maybe that's why I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was introverted and blunt and completely unimpressed with my attempt at a pick up line, which was honestly kind of refreshing. Seeing her in the stands at my game felt like fate. Running into her again afterward? Game on. A sweet, slow-burn hockey rom-com about unlikely connections, quiet confidence, and falling for someone who sees past the spotlight.

The rule was simple: Don't touch the captain's sister. Chase Sterling lived by it. Garrett Miller was ready to break it. HANNAH I've spent three years pining for Chase Sterling-the star center of Briar's hockey team and my brother Hayes's best friend. He's the man I've always wanted, the one I've dropped every hint for, but after a crushing, "noble" rejection at a frat party, I finally got the message. To Chase, I'm just Hayes's little sister. I'm a liability. I'm off-limits. So, when my brother's other teammate, Garrett, looks at me like I'm a prize instead of a problem? I don't pull away. Making out with Garrett was supposed to be a distraction. It was supposed to help me move on. But then a housing disaster hits, and suddenly I'm moving into the off-campus townhouse with four hockey players: my brother, Jacob, Travis... and the two men currently fighting for my attention. CHASE I'm a man of discipline. I have to be if I want to make the pros. That discipline is the only thing that kept me from hauling Hannah into a dark corner and ruining our lives the moment I saw her in that champagne dress. I did the right thing. I rejected her to save my friendship with Hayes. But now she's living in the room next to mine. She's flirting with Garrett in the kitchen, and Garrett isn't the type to care about the "Bro Code." He wants her, he's claiming her, and I have to watch them "fool around" without a label while I'm dying inside. Living with her is a nightmare. Watching Garrett touch her is a war. And the more Hannah and Garrett heat up, the more my self-control starts to burn. I may have told her she was off-limits, but seeing her with someone else is making me want to break every rule I've ever lived by.
