Passion or Penalty

Ever sent your brother’s best friend a video expressing your undying love for him? While hopped up on pain meds?No? Just me then?Once I knew this girl who sent a video of herself to her brother’s best friend… while she was hopped up on pain meds. And he didn’t reciprocate her feelings.
Sounds like a hilarious story, right? WRONG. This really happened… to ME, Melanie Taylor.
That was five years ago, so I’m over it-over him. At least, I thought I was… until West got traded to the D.C. Eagles and moved to the same city as me!Oh yeah, did I forget to mention my brother’s best friend is Weston Kershaw? An incredibly talented and famous professional hockey player?Of course, I set out to avoid him completely, but end up going to one of his games-against my will, I might add. When I have to face him again all of those stupid butterflies in my stomach return full force.
Except this time, the attraction doesn’t feel so one-sided. (This is a closed-door, dual POV romcom with mild language and innuendo. Trigger warnings: childhood trauma/anxiety.)
