A sexy new friends-to-lovers standalone!

Let me list the reasons why dating a sexy, charming, pro hockey star is a bad idea:

1. He's one of my closest friends

2. All our friends are friends

3. The wounds I've got from past relationships go deep. And so do his.

We're both devoutly single — it's just safer for the heart that way. But there's no reason not to bid on the gorgeous, clever athlete at the charity auction this weekend. If I win, it'll be a friendsdate.

And I do win.

I win him big.

And hard.

And all night long.

The trouble is . . . what happens in the morning?
