Just Breaking The Rules

Lauren Blakely · 2026

Hockey Ever After · Book 1

The sexy single dad is not only a world-class hockey player, but my brother’s best friend. Strictly off-limits, and always has been.

But when I inherit an old firehouse to transform into my dream bakery? The bossy, protective athlete also becomes my hero, buying in when the financing falls through.

I have to keep reminding myself – no more flirting with my new business partner… no matter how tempting he looks helping me paint.

It’s a good rule to remember when he starts making surprise shirtless appearances after each win.
Insists I wear his jersey to games.
Stands up for me when a celebrity chef is rude.

Soon, his heated glances make me feel like I’m the answer to his dreams.

Falling for the hockey player I work with could cost us everything: the bakery, his friendship with my brother, and my family who already thinks I’m a hot mess.

But when Corbin shows up after a rough game one night and tells me he can’t stop thinking about me and hasn’t been able to for years?

I’m ready to break all the rules.
