Facing Off (Hockey Romance)

Cocky hockey captain × grumpy ballerina. Forbidden. Infuriating. Completely magnetic. My brother’s captain is every kind of trouble with his cocky grin, reckless charm, and a reputation that should make me run. Instead, he keeps catching me. On the ice. On stage. In the moments I’m falling apart. He worries I have a concussion and makes me sleep in his bed so he can “monitor” me. He finds out I never laugh and immediately strips and pirouettes across the room just to prove he can make me smile. And when a panic attack hits, he holds me through every shaking breath like I’m someone worth protecting. I shouldn’t want Adrian Hughes. He’s my brother’s captain. But the way he looks at me? The way he shows up when it counts? My walls are cracking…and he’s slipping through every fracture. A spicy, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance filled with banter, real vulnerability, and a cocky captain who falls first and hard. View Less
