Broken Code on Ice

The Seattle Rogues hockey captain has spent years pretending he is not in love with Vesper Stone.

She is his brother's ex-girlfriend, a bartender he cannot stop watching, and every reason he has to stay away begins with family loyalty and the promise he made their late mother to stand by his only sibling.

That sibling is a dangerous man who never deserved her, yet admitting the truth still feels like a betrayal he cannot risk if he wants to protect her.

He tells himself the nights of pizza and movies at her place can remain harmless, until they cross a line friends are not supposed to cross.

He should leave for her sake and for peace in his family, but he is done hiding, and he will fight to keep Vesper and the baby they now share.
