Not A Chance - Avery Violet K.

Indie

Indigo Layne doesn't need anyone's help to get what she wants. Less than a year away from getting out from under her parents' control and finally living life on her own terms.

Indie is the caretaker in her trio of friends. She likes to be the one saving the day and never the other way around.

When her father orchestrates a surprise demand that puts her in a new city and job of his choice, Indie agrees for the sake of her inheritance. Even if it means leaving everything she cares about back in California. Nothing is going to get in the way of reaching her goal to start her own nonprofit in Amado.

Nothing, of course, except Theo Yao-Miller, the renowned NHL goalie and newest member of the Toronto Tempests, who happens to be her teenage crush and the same person who brought her heart six years prior.

Oh, and did she mention that Theo is her best friend's oldest brother?

Theo

With more than a decade of keeping his lifelong dream of playing in the NHL alive, Theo Yao-Miller's comfortable world is rocked when he is traded after spending thirteen years playing in Vancouver.

Being a veteran player on a roster of younger players gives him something to prove. His dedication to his own excellence and the game of hockey has also meant ignoring the increasingly painful reality of his chronic knee injuries.

At the threshold of the next stage of his life, Theo is determined to push through this new season without any more complications.

Except complicated moves in across the hall in the form of the incredibly brilliant and stunning Indigo Layne. It was one thing to turn down her advances six years ago, but is he supposed to keep himself away from his little sister's best friend after he sees sides of her she hides from the everyone else?

Not a chance.
