Part of Toronto Terror
First published 2024
She never wanted to crash at her brother's place. The futon reeks of Cheetos and sweat, but she needs somewhere to stay while she rebuilds her life. Her brother is a professional hockey player with a reputation for sleeping around. His best friend Tristan Stiles is worse. Tristan walks around shirtless, picks fights with her constantly, and has earned himself a reputation as an arrogant playboy. She had a crush on him when she was fourteen, but she knows better now. She cannot trust him. All she has to do is find a new job, save up for her own apartment, and avoid doing something stupid. Like letting Tristan get too close. The problem is they keep fighting, and the tension between them keeps building. She needs to get out before she does something she will regret.
