I’ve wanted Tyler Bateman for longer than I’ll ever admit. He’s my brother’s best friend and the one guy I was never supposed to look at twice, let alone want the way I do. He’s older, guarded, and completely off-limits.

So when one trip changes everything and I finally get a taste of what I’ve been chasing for years, I think maybe—just maybe—he wants me too. Until he decides those few nights are all I get.

Tyler doesn’t get to rewrite the rules now, though. Not when I’ve waited this long.

And definitely not now that I know what it feels like when he stops pretending he doesn’t want me right back.

Tyler

I don’t do complications. Not with my NHL career, not with my life, and definitely not with my best friend’s little sister.

Gracie Hutton has always been right there. She’s too young, too bright, too good for someone like me. I’ve spent years keeping my distance, telling myself it’s the right thing to do.

Then the trip happens.

Those few nights together make me forget every reason I should stay away. And now she’s looking at me like I’m something worth fighting for.

She’s not wrong about what I feel. But wanting her doesn’t change anything.

I’m so close to getting everything I’ve worked for, and that means I need to walk away. Even when she’s the one thing I don’t think I’ll survive losing.
