Velvet Faceoff with the Hockey Star: Enemies to Lovers, Single Dad, Brother’s Best Friend Hockey Romance
Emily Ash
I hate my brother’s best friend—the grumpy NHL star who ruined Nico’s future. So explain why he’s my new upstairs tenant… and why his kid is my cat’s new soul mate.
Jude Kavanagh moves in above my bar with divorce papers, a hockey contract, and a scowl. He’s off-limits, and I still notice his hands every time he passes me on the stairs.
Then a drunk grabs me after last call, and Jude shuts it down with one cold look. I end up in the storeroom with him, shaking—until his mouth makes me forget my name.
The next morning he replaces my busted stair rail like penance. Finn asks if my cat can be his friend, and my heart betrays me first.
Soon it’s stolen kisses, locked doors, and Jude watching me like I’m the only quiet in his life. I fall, and my brother catches us—and Jude is already packing, which means I’m about to lose Jude, Nico and Finn in the same night.
