Desiring You (Hockey Stars of Taylor Ridge Book 5)

She’s my best friend.

She’s curvy and beautiful.

She’s an amazing journalist living in Manhattan.

And I’m completely in love with her. But I can’t tell her.

Phoebe Garrison is the sweetest temptation I’ve known since junior high, but she struggles with her self-worth due to her upbringing.

I may be a pro hockey defenseman, standing at 6’7 with a bad attitude on and off the ice, but I can’t tell her how I feel about her. I’ve suffered in silence since high school rather than risking our friendship.

But when I convince her to come for a quick trip to my place for the holidays, it might be the chance we’ve both been waiting for. She doesn’t notice the way I look at her, that my eyes are only for her. But she will.

She’s brave in all things work—taking it on herself to find answers to a string of supposed suicides hitting the newspapers—and yet, she darts away every time I step forward to offer more.

Until she comes back for a second visit. We’ve flirted by text. I’ve made an offer. After fifteen years of waiting, I’m about done.

Christmas is coming. And I know exactly what I want.
