Rule #.5

Vinnie

The unwritten rule in hockey? Never crush on the captain. Too bad I’m doing exactly that.

Single dad Evan McAllister is our fantastic team captain—handsome, grounded, and my all-around amazing former best friend. Oh, and he’s straight. So that’s... inconvenient.

I’ve been pulling away from him to smother my feelings, but that’s only confused him and done absolutely nothing to lessen my crush.

When Evan gets injured on the ice, I step in to help him and his daughter Stella. Evan’s not exactly thrilled with me barging back into his life after I ghosted him, and the more time we spend together, the harder it is for me to pretend I’m not completely in love with him.
