When a steamy Austin night leaves you craving more of your brother's notoriously off-limits teammate, a surprise road trip becomes the perfect excuse to test just how much restraint one broody, blue-eyed defenseman can handle. Jaxson is everything you shouldn't want—especially with your overprotective brother's "hands off" rule hanging over his head—but the chemistry between you is absolutely undeniable, and every mile away from reality makes that boundary feel a little less important. As the flirting intensifies and the tension reaches a breaking point, you're both about to discover that some rules are made to be broken. This is a delicious enemies-to-lovers romp with serious heat and a hero who's worth all the trouble.

A slow-burn tension that builds with every stolen glance and confined moment. Think sultry R&B, indie rock with edge, and pop songs about forbidden desire. Yearning vocals, heavy bass, and that electric chemistry that crackles between proximity and restraint.
