About

Luca Moretti and she have been inseparable since the day they were born. Their mothers have been best friends for years, so Luca and her practically grew up as siblings. He has been there through every birthday, every bad decision, every heartbreak, and every moment she needed someone to make her laugh. She is his best friend. His person. The one who knows him better than anyone. When Luca makes it to the NHL as a center for the New York Rangers, she couldn’t be prouder of him. She is there cheering him on, celebrating every victory, and reminding him that no matter how successful he becomes, she will always be in his corner. But somewhere along the way, Luca’s feelings for her changed. He fell in love with his best friend. For years, he has kept those feelings hidden, terrified that confessing the truth could destroy the one relationship he could never imagine living without. Instead, he hides behind teasing smiles, playful arguments, protective gestures, and the familiar friendship they’ve always shared. But the closer they become, the harder it is for Luca to pretend his feelings are nothing more than friendship. And eventually, he has to decide whether keeping her as his best friend is enough—or whether he’s willing to risk everything for the chance to finally make her his.
