To-Do 1) Lose my V-card before my twenty-fourth birthday. 2) Get over my off-limits crush on my bestie, hockey player Cade Hale. 3) Stop making to-do lists! Jules Cade and I made a promise not to cross any lines that would hurt our friendship, so there’s no way I can tell him I’ve caught feelings. Especially since he only dates smokeshow hotties—not average, curvy girls like me. So when Cade’s teammate asks me out, I say yes. He’s not looking for anything serious, making him the perfect guy to help me cross item number one off of my to-do list...and to distract me from my crush on Cade. Cade Thanks to a stupid pact I made years ago, I’ve been moving through puck bunnies at warp speed because I can’t have the woman I really want—my best friend, Jules. When she forces me to face a hard truth I wasn’t ready for, I end up ghosting her for two months. Dumbest decision ever, since even two months without Jules is way too long. But when I drive to her place in the middle of the night to apologize and spill my feelings, what do I find? Her—wearing my teammate’s jersey. Yeah, there’s no way I’m letting anyone steal away the only girl I’ve ever cared about. This pact ends now.

Jennifer spent most of her early twenties blocking shots in front of a deck hockey net, writing stories, and holding out for a hero. Now, she spends her days and nights hunched over the keyboard, combining her love of hockey and writing into romance novels. A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Jennifer’s a die-hard Penguins fan who lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She takes her life in her hands every time she wears her Penguins jersey in the heart of Leafs Nation, but figures it’s worth the risk to represent her beloved Black and Gold. Her days off are spent spoiling two crazy cute cats, reading, and obsessively watching Sons of Anarchy reruns.
