Brett Mathews lives for the game. As the college hockey team’s star forward, he’s fast on the ice, unstoppable on the scoreboard, and the guy every fan wants to cheer for. Off the ice, he’s got one play he refuses to make—falling in love. It’s too risky, too messy, and he’s lost enough to know better. Cassie Jones has been in Brett’s corner since they met as freshman. She’s his best friend, the one person who keeps him grounded when the pressure gets heavy. Brett knows she wants more than friendship—and if he’s honest, part of him does too. But risking their bond? That feels like a penalty he can’t take. The closer they get, the harder it is to stay in the friend zone. With the draft on the line and sparks flying off the ice, Ryan has to decide if he’s ready to break his own rules… or let the best thing in his life skate away.
