She writes about love. He doesn’t have time for it. But some rules are made to be broken.

Savannah
I write romance novels but can’t finish a single one—probably because I’ve never been in love. So when hockey captain Noah Callahan offers me a deal—babysit his little sister during games and get insider access to his world—I tell myself it’s just research. That friends with benefits is enough.
But Noah doesn’t look at me like I’m a means to an end. He looks at me like I matter.
Every stolen moment, every late-night conversation, every time he lets me see past his walls—I’m falling. Hard. Fast. Dangerously. The problem? He’s made it clear: no strings, no promises, no future. And I’m terrified I’m writing myself into a love story with no happily ever after.

Noah
I’ve been holding my family together with duct tape and sheer willpower since my dad died. Hockey captain. Surrogate parent. The guy everyone depends on. I don’t have time for complications, but Savannah James is the most beautiful distraction I’ve ever seen.
She’s all sunshine and soft curves and everything I can’t let myself need.
So I offer her a deal: no emotions, no expectations. Just heat and hockey tips. Simple.
Except nothing about Savannah is simple. She fits into my broken family like she was always meant to be there. My sister adores her. My teammates won’t stop teasing me. And somewhere between the casual hookups and careful boundaries, I’ve started picturing a future I have no right to want.
But walking away from Savannah means losing the first person who’s ever made me believe I could have it all.

A sizzling friends-with-benefits hockey romance about found family, hidden truths, and learning that being loved exactly as you are is worth breaking every rule.
