A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey\-playing teammate wasn’t on my to\-do list when I moved across the country. Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy\-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also – wait for it – my brand new roommate. I’m a good student turned good librarian. A rule\-follower. I’m not the kind of girl who does complicated flings. So we agree to another rule: friends\-only. It’s not easy though. Wes is bossy, flirty and generous. He gives me rides to work. Pitches in at my library’s fundraiser. Takes care of me when I get hurt. And looks at me like I’m the only one. Soon, I’m falling hard for my brother’s teammate. Especially when Wes comes to my door and tells me exactly how he’d like to break our rules. Every single one.

Scott needs Kip in his life, but with playoff season approaching, the spotlight on him is suddenly brighter than ever. He can’t afford to do anything that might derail his career…like introducing the world to his boyfriend. Kip is ready to go all-in with Scott—but how much longer will he have to remain a secret?
