Off limits: Craving My Brother's Best Friend
Blurb
Sabrina Daniels has spent years quietly pining for her older brother’s closest friend—the star forward and team captain, Ronan Dickson. When her parents leave the country for several months, she’s more than happy to move into the house her brother shares with Ronan… until the night she finally confesses how she feels and he turns her down.
Shattered and embarrassed, Sabrina does her best to stay out of his way. But living under the same roof—and the undeniable pull that still crackles between them—makes distance almost impossible.
Ronan may have rejected her, yet he never pulls away when she tests the boundary again. What begins as stolen, secret kisses quickly deepens into something far more intense and forbidden.
Ronan, however, is carrying more than unresolved feelings. He’s still haunted by the unsolved killing of his mother years ago. When Sabrina insists on helping him dig for the truth, the evidence points somewhere neither of them ever expected—straight to her own father.
As long-buried secrets surface and loyalties shatter, one question hangs over them:
Can their relationship survive when the truth threatens to destroy everything they know?

Chapter: 006Chapter 6 SabrinaShock locked every muscle in my body. My eyes went wide.The way those words left his mouth—so low, so possessive—felt almost unreal.“Ronan—” I tried to tug free, but he only tightened his hold on my wrist and pulled me closer.The space between us disappeared. For one dizzy second I thought our lips would meet again.“What are you doing? Let me go!”“How can I?” His voice was rough. “When I remember everything that happened?”Heat flooded my cheeks. He remembered. Every detail of last night.Did he also remember how I’d stopped fighting? How I’d opened my mouth for him? How our tongues had tangled until I couldn’t think?“Ronan, let…” The rest of the sentence died in my throat.I didn’t actually want him to let go. This might have been the moment I’d waited years for.I glanced down at the arm around my waist and almost smiled. The same Ronan who had treated me like a child hours earlier was now holding me as if he was terrified I might vanish.His eyes still carr

Chapter: 005Chapter 5SabrinaThe sharp crack of the slap rang through the room.Ronan’s cheek flushed red almost instantly. His bloodshot eyes locked on mine, wide with shock.“How dare you!” My voice shook as anger surged through me.“First you treat me like a joke, and now you kiss me? What exactly do you think I am?” Tears burned hot behind my eyes.“Do I look like some toy you can play with whenever you feel like it? Did you think I’d just let you do whatever you wanted because I acted like a desperate idiot earlier?”My throat tightened painfully.“Sabrina—” He reached toward my face.“Don’t!” I slapped his hand away.My chest ached. I felt used. Humiliated all over again. He’d shredded my heart only hours ago, and now he was kissing me like none of it had happened.“Have you no shame, Ronan?” More fury poured out of me.I wasn’t even sure if I was angrier about the kiss itself or the fact that he’d chosen *this* moment to do it.“Get out of my room!” I pointed at the door.“Get—”The rest

Chapter: 004Chapter 4Sabrina’s POVI shifted from one foot to the other and checked my watch again.Third time in under a minute. Tenth time in five. I’d lost count after that.The air outside the terminal was thick and sticky, heavy with heat and my own fraying nerves. I leaned against a concrete pillar, arms wrapped around myself, trying to stop the tremor in my hands.The sun was sinking, painting the clouds gold, but none of it reached the tight knot in my stomach.Mom and Dad were already on the plane. Logan was nowhere in sight.“He forgot about me,” I whispered, wiping at my eyes with the back of my hand.Regret slammed into me hard. I should have fought harder for the dorms. Should have faked a fever. Anything but this.The automatic doors whooshed open behind me. Hurried footsteps slapped against the pavement.“There she is.”Logan’s voice. Relief hit so fast my knees almost gave out. I turned, and before I could fully face him he pulled me into one of his crushing big-brother hugs. The

Chapter: 003Chapter 3Ronan’s POVThe cold bite of the ice under my skates usually cut through whatever noise was cluttering my head. Today it did nothing.A thick fog sat behind my eyes, refusing to clear no matter how hard I pushed.“Again!” I shouted at the line, trying to sound like I still had control. Even I could hear the hollow edge in my voice.We were running drills. My body moved on pure muscle memory while my attention stayed locked on the phone sitting face-up on the bench. The same message I’d already opened a dozen times still glowed on the screen.Detective Harlan.After weeks of thin leads, dead ends, and empty promises, he’d decided to walk away from the case. Just like that.I’d called. Texted. Nothing. The frustration was rotting my focus. I shoved the puck forward and missed the pass by a mile.“Goddammit, Ronan!” That was Tyler, our left wing. I barely registered it.“Timeout!” Coach Brennan’s voice cracked across the rink like a slap.I skated toward the boards, equal parts

Chapter: 002Chapter 2Sabrina’s POVHe held my gaze for several long seconds while I silently begged the universe to let him say yes.His lips parted and for one reckless heartbeat I thought the answer was coming. Instead, a low laugh spilled out of him. It wasn’t mean, but it still cut straight through me.Ronan Dickson laughed like I’d just told the most absurd joke he’d ever heard. Like I was some ridiculous punchline the cosmos had delivered purely for his entertainment.Heat flooded my face even though no one else was in the room. I stood frozen, my heart slamming against my ribs in a frantic, uneven rhythm.When the laughter finally faded, he stepped closer and did the one thing I dreaded most. He reached out and ruffled my hair the way he used to when I was twelve and had just aced a math test.“Aww, Sabrina,” he said, still smiling. “You’re still such a kid.”“I’m not.” I took a step back, but he either didn’t notice or didn’t care.“You should forget about me,” he added quietly. “Serious

Chapter: 001Chapter 1Sabrina’s POVThe laughter from the game clip drifted faintly through my laptop speakers, but I barely registered the noise.My eyes stayed locked on the screen, tracking every movement as Ronan glided across the ice like it belonged to him. Fierce. Focused. Unstoppable.Even through the grainy quality I could see the fire in his gaze as he charged toward the goal.Number 17. Always number 17.I hugged my knees tighter to my chest, chin resting on top, and hit replay for what had to be the fifth time today. Maybe the fiftieth if I was being honest.Ronan’s last game against our rival school had been electric. I’d watched it live from the cold bleachers, sitting right beside Logan. He’d scored the final goal in the last minute, ripped his helmet off, and disappeared under a swarm of celebrating teammates.Still riding the high, he’d looked up into the stands, grinning wide. For one reckless second it felt like those eyes found me.They hadn’t. They never did.His gaze had l
