Interference (Springfield Cyclones: Steamy Hockey Romances #3)

Ilya lost her years ago…to his best friend. Now she’s back...and so is his friend.

Freshly divorced from an NHL star and finally back in New England, Zoey Williams is rebuilding from scratch:

new apartment, new job running community outreach for the Cyclones, and a terrifying, exhilarating plan to become a foster mom on her own.

The last thing she expects on Day One is to feel sparks with the one man she has spent ten years carefully not wanting—her ex-husband’s best friend.

Ilya Sergechev has everything he ever worked for: the C on his chest, a locker room that listens when he speaks, and a reputation for being unshakable when games and lives get ugly.

He’s also carrying a decade-old secret. He’s been in love with his best friend’s girl since college.

He forced a smile through their wedding, gave the best man speech, and when their marriage fell apart, did what he always does: put everyone else first and locked his own feelings down.

But Zoey is no longer married. And Ilya is no longer able to pretend she feels like just a friend.

Between old memories, stolen moments, youth hockey clinics, and the dangerously easy comfort of being seen by someone who already knows the worst parts of your history, the line between friendship and something more begins to blur.

Then Mitch unexpectedly joins the Cyclones, determined to win Zoey back…

and is completely unaware that his best friend may be the one man she’s finally ready to choose.

Loving Zoey could cost Ilya his oldest friendship, his team’s trust, and the careful control he’s built his life around.

Loving Ilya could put Zoey’s hard-won independence, her foster plans, and her healing heart at risk.

And when old loyalties, new dreams, and buried feelings collide, Ilya starts to wonder if the only way to keep Zoey safe is to walk away before he can hurt her too.

Will Zoey postpone her dreams yet again for a man who isn’t sure he can stay? Or can Ilya risk everything for the woman he lost once—and the family she’s determined to build?
