Off-Limits Roomie, Real Temptation
(2026)(The sixth book in the Canadian Small Town Hockey Romance series)
A novel by Piper Sullivan
🏒🐎A heartbroken cowgirl is forced to move in with her brother's best friend in this steamy roommates-to-lovers, fake dating, college hockey romance 🥅🌶️
All I wanted was a safe place to hide from my persistent ex.
What I got was my brother's infuriatingly handsome roommate.
And one bathroom too few.
Ryan Reinhardt. Star goalie, shameless flirt, and professional button-pusher.
I'm a champion barrel racer with a broken heart, a stubborn streak a mile wide, and exactly zero interest in another athlete.
Especially one who walks around shirtless and grins at me like he's seen my embarrassing childhood photos. (Because he has. Ryan and I have known each other our entire lives.)
Living together was supposed to be temporary.
Just a few weeks under the same roof while I got my life back on track.
Absolutely no noticing the way Ryan always shows up when I need him.
Or how safe I feel when he wraps his arms around me protectively.
Or how impossible it is to ignore the chemistry that's been simmering between us for years.
Then my ex refuses to take no for an answer.
And suddenly the cocky goalie I love to hate is pretending to be my boyfriend.
Now we're sharing meals, stolen kisses, and a secret neither of us can afford to want.
Because Ryan is my brother's best friend.
The one man I should never fall for.
But when danger closes in, and our fake relationship starts feeling all too real, we'll have to decide what's worth risking.
Our friendship.
Our future.
Or the love we've been fighting from the very beginning.
Genre: Romance
