Rule #.5: Never Crush on the Captain by Portia Blake

Vinnie

The unwritten rule in hockey? Never crush on the captain.
Too bad I’m failing at that.
Single dad Evan McAllister is our adored team captain, attractive, and my all-around amazing former best friend. Oh, he’s straight too. That’s less of a positive for me. I’ve been distancing myself to smother my feelings, but that’s only confused him and totally hasn’t worked.
When a concussion leaves Evan needing care, I step in to help him and his daughter Stella. Evan’s not thrilled with me barging back into his life after I ghosted him, and the more we’re thrust into intimate circumstances, the harder it is for me to keep from blurting my secret.

Rule #.5: Never Crush on the Captain is a 25,000 prequel novella to the Hockey Rules series.
