Overtime with the Captain's Sister - A Brother's Best Friend Hockey Romance #1012160

He signed a napkin at nineteen promising never to date her. Eight years later, she's his new coworker, and the napkin is still in his wallet.

Maren Halvorsen needs her new job with the Calgary Chinooks to go perfectly. After one disastrous video cost her a career in Toronto, she's determined to be taken seriously, not as the captain's little sister. Then on her first day, her big brother Erik announces to the entire dressing room that she is off limits.

Star winger Jace Kowalchuk doesn't need the warning. He grew up in the Halvorsens' basement. He has kept one rule for eight years, written on a diner napkin and witnessed by his best friend. Then Maren's first video of him goes viral, the team pairs them up for a weekly series, and keeping his distance gets harder with every blueberry muffin, hospital visit, and late night talk by a hotel ice machine.

One blizzard outside Banff strands the team bus overnight, and the rule finally breaks. Now they're sneaking around road trips, dodging teammates, and promising to tell Erik the night they clinch a playoff spot. But secrets have a way of telling themselves, and this one is about to go live.

A warm, swoony, dual point of view hockey romance with a guaranteed happy ending.
