I came to Douglas University for a fresh start—for hockey games, new friends, and a life free from tangled family drama. But then I saw him.
Chase Wilson. My ex-stepbrother. The boy I loved before I knew better.
He left six years ago and I hadn't seen or heard from him. Now he’s back—as the university’s newest assistant hockey coach. Older. Sharper. Completely off-limits for obvious reasons.
When the team’s grades threaten their season, the school assigns me as their academic tutor—and Chase’s only shot at saving his career. Working together wasn’t supposed to be personal, but every late-night study session pulls us closer, unraveling years of buried feelings. At least on my part.
We're walking a dangerous line. He’s determined to keep his distance, but I see the way he looks at me—like resisting me is the hardest game he’s ever played.
It’s reckless. Forbidden. Impossible.
But sometimes the only thing more dangerous than breaking the rules . . . is wanting to.
