Meet Brooke O’Brien:
Brooke O’Brien grew up with a creative mind and a wild imagination, writing poetry and short stories when she was younger. This passion ignited when she began reading angst and hate-fueled stories about vampires and werewolves before she branched into contemporary and new adult romances.
When Brooke isn’t writing or falling in love with a new book boyfriend, you can find her scrolling TikTok, watching ASMR, or devouring her latest binge-worthy TV show.
She loves rockin’ a good hoodie with leggings, is addicted to chocolate, and believes the best days include a good nap.

Blurb:
An enemies to lovers hockey romance by Brooke O’Brien about secrets that could ruin the season, a kiss that never should’ve happened, and two hearts pulled back together by the one thing more powerful than hate… the truth.
I never should’ve let Wren Perry get close—not with everything her last name cost mine.
She’s the governor’s daughter. Untouchable. Off-limits.
A walking reminder of everything I should hate.
She was a distraction I had no business touching. The kiss we shared? A cheap shot meant to rattle her brother, not leave a mark. But her lips hit harder than I expected, and the memory stuck like a bruise I can’t shake.
I’ve been off my game ever since. Now she’s back in my life, tied to my team in a way I can’t avoid.
I don’t trust her. I shouldn’t want her. But every time she looks at me, I forget why I ever let her go.
Our season’s already hanging by a thread. Stats don’t match the game footage. Players are faking injuries. And Wren’s dropping clues like she wants to help me find the truth without ever saying a word.
They’re waiting for us to fall apart. They think I’ve lost my edge. But I’ve never backed down from a fight.
This time, I’m not just playing for my team.
I’m playing for our season. For the truth.
And for the girl I should’ve hated… but never could.

🏒Review🏒
Due to her father’s political career Wren has always known that appearances are everything and she has always done what was expected of her. Now that she is attending college it is her opportunity to assert her independence however she wasn’t prepared for Talon, who is the brother of the woman her brother dated, which didn’t end well.
Talon holds Wren and her family responsible for the past and he isn’t about to make things easy for her. His loyalty is to his family and his team, and he is determined to protect them even if it puts him at odds with Wren and her family. They now find themselves dealing with the secrets of the past as well as the suspicious events in the present.
Despite all the reasons they shouldn’t be together the heat between them is undeniable and when they join forces both to uncover the truth it only strengthens the feelings between them and choices and consequences must be faced.
