Holly Johansson knows she's living in a fantasy world, but she's trying to be realistic. Like, she knows becoming a bestselling author isn't going to happen overnight, so she will need to get a day job now that she has graduated from college. Just like she knows her brother's best friend, hockey superstar Matt Rhinelander, would never, ever return her feelings.



How could he?



She'd rather stay home with her nose in a book, while he has a reputation as a barhopping ladies' man. So, while she may be hopelessly in love with him, she knows better than to expect that he could ever be anything more than her brother's thoughtful friend who actually listens when she talks.



Or could he?



After Matt comes to Holly's rescue, she wonders if he might have deeper feelings, too. When Matt confirms he sees her as more than his teammate's baby sister, will it put them both on thin ice?
