Checked by the Rookie: A Steamy Small Town Hockey Romance With Brother's Best Friend (Blackwood Bay Hockey #3)

Coming home was supposed to be simple. It wasn't supposed to involve Trevor Blake.

Four years ago, he was just my brother's cute teammate with the hopeful smile and gentle hands. Now he's six feet of pure temptation in a hockey uniform, looking at me like I'm everything he's ever wanted.

But Jake made the rules crystal his little sister is off limits.

Too bad my heart didn't get the memo.

Trevor's touch sets me on fire. His whispered promises make me believe in forever. But when my dream job offers everything I've worked for—three thousand miles away—I'm faced with an impossible choice.

Stay in Blackwood Bay and risk giving up my future.

Or leave behind the only man who's ever made me feel truly alive.

Jake thinks he's protecting me. Trevor thinks he's not good enough for me. And I'm caught between the life I planned and the love I never saw coming.

Some rules are made to be broken. But when breaking them could cost everything, how do you know if love is worth the risk?

When the rookie checks you harder than you ever expected, do you fight back or surrender completely?
