The friend zone heats up fast in this friends-to-lovers, teammate's little sister, hockey love story for a cocky defenseman about to be sidelined by one seriously hot smokeshow. Too bad she's not interested in dating a hockey player and one hundred percent off-limits.

"Be "just friends" with a smokeshow like her? That's pretty much a p#cking impossible ask."
—Tyler Lockhardt, VEGAS CRUSH
I'm just over here minding my business playing hockey for the Crush when the smokeshow of my dreams turns up and seriously rocks my world.

For real.

Beautiful, smart, and so incredibly sweet I cannot help myself from wanting to get to know her a whole lot better.

But it's not happening.

C*ck-blocked by her paranoid older brother (also my teammate) and her Feminazi sister, I've lost my game long before I ever had any.

It gets worse.

Zoya Kolochev has zero interest in dating hockey players and she is completely firm on that.

She would like to be my friend though. *facepalm*

I know I'm definitely not boyfriend material, but I don't think I'm very good friend material either.

But it's what she wants...so I guess I'll have a new "friend" now.

A smokin' hot, legs-for-days, sexy, gorgeous smokeshow for my new friend.
