by Jenny Proctor (Author)
Evie told herself not to fall for her pro-hockey crush. But when she sees him holding her baby girl, all bets are off.
When Evie moves South to the same mountain town where her childhood crush plays pro-hockey, she arms herself with all the reasons why she can't fall for him again.
Number one: Alec is her best friend's much older brother.
Number two: She's recently divorced and does not need another man in her life. At least not anytime soon.
Number three: With a four-month-old daughter, she has zero time for dating.
Trouble is, Evie doesn't know another soul in North Carolina, so when her rental floods before she's even moved in, her only option is to crash with Alec for a few weeks. When she protests, he insists it's what he'd do for his sister, and that's basically what she is to him.
But all these years later, the unexpected chemistry between them definitely says otherwise.
A new relationship is risky when Evie is still licking her wounds from her divorce, and she has no idea if Alec has any desire to be a dad. His sister already warned he isn't the type to settle down.
But she can't make herself care about any of that. Not until she's already fallen, and it might be too late to save herself from another heartbreak.
When Alec Met Evie is a closed-door, best friend's brother hockey romcom with heart and humor, sizzle but no spice. Perfect for fans of sports romance who want a little less heat.
Books in the Appies Hockey Romance series are connected and chronological but still stand alone and can be read in any order.
