She’s my best friend. My biggest what-if. And the one woman I never stopped wanting. Bree Sutton grew up right alongside me and my sisters on our family ranch—always tagging along, always cheering for me like her big brother. But I never saw Bree as a sister. Last year, she disappeared into the arms of my biggest rival, leaving me to wonder if I’d lost her forever. Now she’s back in my life, working as the Sun Kings’ new PR manager—the very job I recommended her for—and somehow she’s turning my world upside down all over again. My teammates have taken it upon themselves to help me win her over (because nothing says romance like locker-room advice). Meanwhile, my nana is planning to sell the family ranch so my sisters and I won’t have to give up our dreams the way she once did to raise us. Between weighing hockey against the ranch, mandatory charity events, and the sudden return of Bree’s scumbag ex, I’m juggling more pucks than a goalie should. The truth is, I’ve loved that girl since before I even knew what love was—and I refuse to let her slip away again. Not to another team, another town, or another guy. Staying in the neutral zone is no longer an option.
This time, I’m playing for keeps. In the Neutral Zone with My Best Friend is the moving third book in the Romancing the Sun Kings sweet hockey romcom series. If you love protective goalies and lifelong friendships turning into something more, you’ll fall for this it’s-always-been-her love story.
