The Art of Falling in Love with Your Brother's Best Friend - Anne Kemp

All's fair in love and war...until your brother brings his bad boy, ice hockey playing best friend into your life.

Riley: I'm pouring all my savings into launching my own catering business, so the last thing I need is distraction. Even if he is six feet five inches tall, plays ice hockey, and is probably one of the most intriguing, and also maddening, people I've met. Ever.

People say he's grumpy, but to me, he's funny and kind, too. He's misunderstood and even though he's one of the most famous players coming up in the ranks right now, he doesn't feel seen by those he loves...and I get that. But I've got my own fears: that my dreams fail, my mother keeps rejecting me, and the big one--my fear of commitment.

Jake: Getting suspended for 'anger issues' lands me in Sweetkiss Creek at my agent's request. Licking my wounds and taking a time out sounds ridiculous...until I meet her. She's feisty, sassy, and fiery enough that I swear she could melt the ice I skate on.

I never would have thought I'd find solace and an unexpected ally in the person who's old bedroom I'm staying in. The last thing I want or need is to fall in love--but for some reason my heart isn't getting the memo.
