From Joslyn Westbrook comes a steamy contemporary romance that features a pro hockey player and an aspiring prima ballerina who find themselves wanting the one person they were never supposed to fall for.

 

When I get an opportunity to have a fling with Reed Cortez, a hot-as-puck hockey king who happens to be my best friend’s older brother, it’s a breezy win-win. 

 

Just as long as we follow a firm set of ground rules:

 

Must be kept secret—especially since my best friend told him I’m off-limits.

Don't expect more; it’s only a fling.

If one of us begins to catch feelings, refer to the line above.

​

These rules serve their purpose. 

​

No distractions to pull his focus away from winning a hockey championship trophy.

No diversion that’ll keep me from my dream of making it into the NYC Ballet.

​

As things grow intense between us, my stupid heart starts to free fall for a guy who’ll never view me as more than some casual hookup. 

​

But after I end it, get out before I plummet too deep, Mr. No Strings Attached slides into my DMs...

​

Gia,

We said no strings.

But I can’t get you off my mind.

Your laugh. Your smile.

Those sexy-as-sin moans. 

How it felt to wake up with you in my arms.

I miss that. I miss you. I miss us. 

We both know this thing between us isn’t simple. 

Maybe we’ve become more than just a fling. 

Meet me tomorrow night.

You know the place. 

Reed

Maybe some rules are made to be broken.
