The Winning Score: A Best-Friend's-Sister Sports Romance

She can’t stand him. The feeling is mutual. Can they make it through quarantine together?


When it comes to hockey, I'm as good at scoring off the ice as I am on it. With puck bunnies in every city, I’ve got my bachelor life dialed in—no strings, no problem. I’ve got a type: hot, blonde, and easy. So when Sarah Nelson, my teammate’s brunette sister, storms into my life, I’m not interested. She’s feisty, way too serious, and not my kind of fun. But my mom, who’s now living with me and complicating everything, likes her, and COVID-19 just put us all on lockdown.


Sarah’s fresh out of a breakup and staying at her brother’s place, looking for work—fast. When I offer her a temporary job that means living under my roof, she reluctantly agrees. Sure, she’s got me pegged as a player, and I know she can’t stand me. But neither of us sees what’s coming when we’re forced to be around each other 24/7.


We’re oil and fire, and someone’s bound to get burned.
