As the captain of the Seattle Rogues, I shouldn’t betray my only sibling, and I ought to honor the promise I made to our late mom to stand by him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut my brother isn’t a good man, and I can’t take my eyes off the stunning bartender with sleek black hair and a smile that falters whenever she gets a text from the guy who never deserved her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVoicing my feelings is a terrible idea. My brother isn’t only a bad person, but he’s dangerous, too, and my top priority is protecting the one girl I can never have.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut I didn’t make it as a pro hockey player without going after what I wanted, and regardless of who she is to my family, I can’t stop showing up at her apartment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaybe we can just be friends. I’d rather have that than lose her altogether. My brother doesn’t need to know we hang out and eat pizza while watching a movie.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut friends don’t hold their breath whenever they catch each other’s gaze, and they definitely don’t do what we did the other night …\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI should walk away.\u003cbr\u003eFor her.\u003cbr\u003eFor us.\u003cbr\u003eFor the sake of keeping the peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, why am I standing outside Vesper’s door right now, ready to lay my heart on the line?
