Blurb:
Falling for his best friend’s
sister seemed like a good idea at the time.
Defenceman Ryan Flynn’s life and career is defined by the codes of hockey;
friendship, respect, leadership and protection. A call from his best friends
sister ends up with him taking her home and it’s all he can do to remember that
she’s off limits. Doesn’t matter that she’s too much of temptation for a man on
the edge, he promised her brother he wouldn’t go anywhere near her.
Kathryn Lecour has been in lust with hockey player
Ryan Flynn since she was first laid eyes on him. The problem? Ryan is her
brother’s best friend, bound by a complicated code of chivalry both on and off
the ice.
Will Ryan, the hard man of the Dragons ever see her as anything more than his
best friend’s little sister? And will Kat be able to tame the Dragon with ice
in his heart?
Excerpt
“You have to promise,” Loki
had said to him.
They were nineteen years
old and drunk on cheap beer. Kat’s prom date vanished into the darkness, and
that was a good thing: the baseball captain and high achiever wasn’t good
enough for her.
Not in her brother’s eyes,
and not in his.
“Promise what?” Ryan had
been worried that what he and Loki had done made Kat’s date leave and left her
in tears. They’d only meant to intimidate him to playing nice, not get him to
run away with his tail between his legs.
“Don’t ever let her near a
jock,” Loki snapped. He didn’t appear to have any remorse at seeing the guy
run, but then, he ’hadn’t seen his sister’s tears. “No one like us. Because all
we are is hockey, and all we do is for the team.”
“I promise.”
“We fuck and leave, and
nothing means anything.”
“Loki—”
“Don’t you ever let anyone
hurt her.”
“I won’t. I promise.”
The smile slipped from his
face when the enormity of what he’d promised sunk into his soul, and for a second he hesitated. He had to go in there and be
her brother, be the friend she’d need. Not the idiot man who fancied himself in
love with her.
He settled his breathing. And then he opened the
door, slipped inside, and shut it behind him before he could second-guess why
he was here.
The room was simple: sofas, a coffee table in the
middle, a large roof window that would let in light in the daytime. At the
moment, the room was lit by a soft lamp in the corner.
Sitting bolt upright in one corner of the largest
sofa was Kat.
Ryan took one look at her
face and couldn’t help himself; a curse fell from his lips without conscious
thought. A vivid scarlet mark ran from her eye socket to her cheekbone, as if
someone had deliberately slapped her; bruises ringed her neck and her lip was
cut, evidenced by a butterfly bandage just below the left corner. She was so beautiful, and he couldn’t bear to see the marks on
her soft skin.
She looked up at him, her green eyes bright. He
stepped closer and she stared at him. Her lower lip trembled as though she was
fighting tears; he wanted to hold her and stop her from crying.
God, all I want is to hold
her.
“Take me home, Ryan,” she said, her voice broken.
Then she added a much smaller, quieter “Please.”
