Penalty Play by Julia Connors is now live!
We were never meant to see each other again. It was a one-night, no-names fling in Bermuda . . . until the next day when I watch her walk down the aisle at our parents’ wedding and discover she’s now my stepsister.
We say it won’t happen again, but we give in to the temptation of “just one more time” . . . twice. We tell ourselves there’s no harm in it. Given my stepdad’s and her mom’s rocky marital histories, it’s unlikely we’ll ever see each other again.
Except, a few days later, I walk into the Boston Rebels’ offices to assure management that I’ll focus on nothing but hockey after I missed last season thanks to an injury. Instead, I find myself face-to-face with my stepsister, Morgan, who now works for the team.
At first, we pretend we’ve never met and try to steer clear of each other. But it’s impossible. Her friends are tangled up with my teammates. Her dad is my agent. She’s everywhere: at the rink, out with our friends, and in my head.
I have every reason not to pursue her. I tell myself I’ll stay away. And yet, I can’t get enough of her.
So we make a deal: a secret friends-with-benefits arrangement—no feelings, no commitment.
The more I truly get to know her, though, the more I can’t imagine my life without her. But forever is the one thing I promised myself I’d never give anyone again.

🏒Review🏒
Morgan doesn’t always make the best choices when it comes to the men she lets into her life so when she finds herself in Bermuda to celebrate her mother’s wedding she decides one night with a swoony stranger is what she needs. What she didn’t need was to find out that not only are they about to be related but their professional lives are connect as well.
Aiden is a professional hockey player who is ready to return to the ice after a long-term injury. When he decides to attend his stepfather’s wedding he didn’t realize that it would change his life and now the man who had always thought he couldn’t have hockey and love begins to wonder if he can have it all with the right woman.
Even though there are multiple reasons that Morgan and Aiden should keep their distance from each other because of the complications it brings their hearts don’t agree and it was both heartwarming and fun to see them trust each other with their hearts and their pasts.
