The Synopsis
What it's about
I'm Emma Hart, a girl who thought moving to Colorado for college would be a fresh start. Four years ago, I accidentally broke my stepbrother Caleb's most treasured possession—a hockey stick signed by his late coach. Since then, he's treated me like I don't exist. Now I'm living under the same roof as him, attending the same university where he's the star player everyone worships. The campus is plastered with his face. Girls throw themselves at him. Scouts follow his every move. But Caleb Claffey isn't the hero everyone thinks he is. To me, he's the guy who left me stranded at the airport. The guy who looks through me like I'm invisible. The guy who called me a slut when I accidentally stumbled into his bed in the middle of the night. I swore I'd never speak to him again. Then Ethan came into my life—kind, genuine, everything Caleb isn't. He makes me feel seen. He takes me to animal shelters and doesn't judge my embarrassing hobbies. He's exactly the kind of guy I should fall for. So why can't I stop thinking about those ice-blue eyes? Why does my heart race every time Caleb looks at me with that cold, unreadable expression? And why did his ears turn red when Ethan whispered something to him at the barbecue? Ethan says Caleb likes me. That all the cruelty is just a boy who doesn't know how to handle what he feels. But that's impossible. Isn't it? Because the way Caleb Claffey looks at me isn't love. It's something far more dangerous.

My stepbrother slammed his hand against the garage door right beside my head, trapping me. The sound echoed in the dim space, making me flinch. He was so close I could smell the cedar and sweat clinging to his skin. His ice-blue eyes were fixed on me with an intensity that made my stomach drop. "So," Caleb's voice was low. Dangerous. "How far are you planning to take things with Ethan?" My brain stuttered. "What?" "You heard me." He didn't break eye contact. "How far? Dating? Hooking up? What's the plan?" "There's no plan. I told you, we're just friends—" "Friends." He took a step closer. The cold metal of the door seeped through my shirt as I pressed back. "He looks at you like you're a lot more than friends." My pulse was hammering. We hadn't spoken nicely to each other in four years. Not since the day I accidentally broke his dead coach's hockey stick. He had made it clear he hated me. He had literally told his teammates he didn't have a sister. "That doesn't matter," I gasped. "Even if it were true, it's none of your business." Something dark and heated flashed in his eyes. "None of my business? I think I get to decide what's my business." He boxed me in completely. My back was flat against the door, his arms on either side of me, his face inches from mine. This was the arrogant star of the university hockey team. The untouchable golden boy. And right now, he looked like he wanted to devour me. "You really think you've got everyone figured out, don't you?" he growled. "Play the sweet, innocent new girl... And guys just fall all over themselves to help you." "I want you to leave me alone!" My voice cracked. "I want you to stop acting like I'm some manipulative bitch who's trying to ruin your life!" His jaw clenched. For a long moment, we just stared at each other. Then, his thumb lifted, tracing along my jawline with a gentleness that was completely at odds with his harsh words. The touch sent electricity skittering across my skin. "You know what I keep thinking about?" His voice dropped to a rough whisper, his nose almost brushing mine. I couldn't breathe. "I keep thinking about what would happen if I kissed you..." ❤️🔥 ad.readinkapp.com Forbidden Play with My Hockey Star Brother
