What do you do when the one person who rejected you is the only one you can’t forget?

I’m on the verge of a big promotion at my dream job as a game developer, but there’s a catch: I need to code a hockey video game, and I know nothing about the sport.

Luckily, my best friend, Grace, is dating the captain of the Night Hawks. Spending time with them should give me the insight I need to crush this project.

Problem solved, right? Not quite.

Her twin brother, Carson, is their goalie—the same Carson who rejected me in high school.

He’s just as maddening and infuriating as ever, and our banter is loaded with tension. Every stolen glance, every brush of our bodies sends my heart racing.

As the chemistry between us simmers dangerously close to the surface, so does my resolve.

I know I should keep my distance, but with him pushing all the right buttons, I flip the script.

He can have me…casually. Because this time, I won’t give my heart away.

Even if it was always his.
