Y/N is perfectly happy living inside the pages of her favorite romance novels. Quiet, shy, and more comfortable with books than people, she’s never been good at dating—or understanding why everyone else seems to make love look so easy. When her older brother’s best friend, Elijah Carter, returns home after making it big as a professional hockey player, Y/N reluctantly agrees to let him teach her everything she needs to know about relationships. But as the lessons continue, years of friendship turn into undeniable chemistry, and Y/N begins to realize Elijah might know her better than anyone else. With hidden feelings, old wounds, and a love that has been years in the making, Y/N and Elijah must decide whether risking their hearts is worth the chance at something real.
