It has two meanings in the city of Tampa. The brothers, and the bar. Brooks Labelle spent his entire life with one ambition: Hockey. All things hockey, which is why he has settled in Tampa to ride out the rest of his career and co-owner of a hockey bar with his brothers. To his parents’ dismay, none of them have settled down romantically. Brooks never plans to either, despite his dad attempting to set him up with another “nice girl.” He must be desperate if he’s picking random women among the crowd at Brooks’s games and trying to persuade them with a meet-and-greet. But this one turns down the offer… Jo Harper has fallen for a hockey player, and she doesn’t even like hockey. A homebody to the extreme, all it took was one night out for her anti-social life to tailspin into celebrities and social media scandals. Though, scandal is a stretch when put into terms about a dead ex. She only speaks to Brooks by happenstance. Although, it’s more sassing than actual talking. Which he likes and demonstrates every opportunity he can. She’s become the girl friend—with a space, as he likes to say—and he’s more than her timid self can handle. Just friends never work when there is an attraction. It’s a tried and true failure. Their relationship sparks, but like opposite charges in the clouds, they’ve accumulated a fierce lightning storm. Jo loves a good rainy day, but Brooks might as well be holding a steel rob. He wants more, but without her expecting too much. She’s done with settling for men who won’t share all of themselves with her. The last thing he expected was to be the first brother to fall. less
