Best Friends Brother

Learning how to fly stole my childhood, and accomplishing my dreams took my parents. After my parents’ death, taking care of my little brother and running my dance studio are the only things I’ve got time for in my hectic life. Until Declan Sinclair. As the number one draft pick for the Philadelphia Kings, he’s not afraid of putting in a little hard work to get what he wants. And he wants me. I don’t know if my heart can survive falling in love. All the best games are won in inches, not yards, and I’m gonna earn this win inch by inch. I’ve spent my life working toward one goal. Playing professional football. Until Annabelle Hart. She’s fierce, loyal, and the strongest woman I’ve ever met. I knew she was meant to be mine the first time I saw her. But knowing that and making it happen are two very different things. Will this beautiful ballerina let me earn her love?

Hockey is my life. It’s all I’ve ever wanted, all I’ve ever needed, and everything was going according to plan. All I had to do was focus on the game, keep my head down, then get drafted into the NHL. With my team by my side I was focused solely on the game. I thought nothing could stop me, but then my father came along and ruined everything. He demanded a business marriage for my sister, and I knew I had no choice but to step in and take her place so she could be happy. My only real solace is that I get to pick my bride from a list he has deemed worthy. I just never could have guessed that my sister’s best friend would be on that list. Hallie Rose Sanders has been one of my closest friends for years, and now she is the only reasonable choice I can pick as my future wife. But what do I do when the lines between us begin to blur? When I don’t know where our friendship ends or our marriage starts, and instead of focusing on taking down my father, all I can see is her.
