I read an ebook within the last year and I don't remember much, but I think I remember that the main male character was somehow involved with a professional hockey team. This part, I honestly could be getting mixed up with Hammer and Nails by Andria Large, but I think that I remember that the hero had a good friend who was a hockey player who was briefly mentioned in the book, which is why I think the hero worked for the hockey team. What I do remember about the book is that the heroine and hero had some trouble getting together, lots of angst, which is pretty typical. I wish I could remember exactly how they met, but I can't. However, there were two supporting characters, one of them the heroine's best friend and the other her firefighter brother. The heroine's best friend and her brother begin a relationship and get engaged. It's mentioned a couple times about how the heroine's 2nd brother isn't particularly friendly with the best friend and doesn't seem to like her. In one scene, they are having a family game night and the 2nd brother barely speaks to the heroine's best friend and is pretty rude to her. It's never really mentioned why he doesn't like her though. Towards the end, the firefighter brother and the best friend get married and during the reception, he asks the hero to look out for his new wife in case anything were to happen to him. Then the book ends with the heroine receiving a phone call that her brother has died in a fire, about a year after the wedding. I believe the author was setting this up for the next book in the series to be about the best friend and possibly the hero's hockey player friend, because it was mentioned earlier in the book that the two met and the hockey player was attracted to her but was upset to learn that she was already engaged.Any help would be so much appreciated! Thank you!!
