This hockey superstar and single dad is absolutely off-limits—he's your brother's best friend and now, awkwardly, your business partner when he saves your dream bakery from financial ruin. But as you two work side-by-side transforming that old firehouse into your dream space, the chemistry sizzles in ways that make it impossible to stick to the "no flirting" rule, especially when he's showing up shirtless after games and making you feel like you're his everything. Falling for Corbin could blow up your bakery, your family peace, and his decades-long friendship with your brother—but when he finally admits he's been thinking about you for years, you're ready to risk it all. Get ready for a swoon-worthy blend of protective hockey romance, single-dad tenderness, and the kind of slow-burn tension that makes breaking the rules feel absolutely worth it.
