Play With Me || 2 || Off the Ice Series
31 parts Ongoing MatureMy brother's best friend, a forbidden fling, a tropical disaster - I never imagined a perfect getaway would take such a Wilde turn.
I'd planned this holiday down to the last detail: sunshine, laughter, and absolutely no encounters with the one man I can't seem to forget. Jason Wilde. My older brother's best friend, the guy I couldn't resist as a teenager-and the mistake I made again at my brother's wedding. Jason might be hockey's most notorious playboy, but I swear I won't make the same mistake a third time.
Arden doesn't settle - which might explain why she's still single but she's not willing to lower her standards and those standard do not include a flirty hockey player.
But when a wild boat party turns into a disaster, stranding them alone on a deserted island, her carefully drawn line in the sand begin to blur.
With no way out and nowhere to run, Arden begins to wonder if finding solace in Jason's arms might not be so bad after all. But giving in means risking everything she's fought to protect-including her heart.

She's always been off-limits. My best friend's little sister. The one person I promised myself I'd never touch. But damn, Arden has always had a way of getting under my skin, of making me forget every rule I've ever made.
It started as a one-night stand-something I never intended to repeat - not the one-night part anyway. And now, here we are, stuck in a tropical paradise together. The tension between us is undeniable, and yet she's still denying the obvious.
She's worth the risk.
The problem? I can't let her know just how much it hurts when she shuts me down. I'm ready to give her everything - if only she'd let me.
Because when it comes to Arden, I can't stay away and I'll take anything she's willing to give me, even if it's not forever.
Some lines shouldn't be crossed - and some lines are just too blurred to find the boundary.
