Don’t date my teammates. She had no intention of breaking her brother’s one rule. Until the weekend that changed everything.

After a very public incident has Cece Whitaker banished to a new college her senior year, she’s determined to fly under the radar. But when the talented hockey star she spent one incredible weekend with turns out to be her brother’s best friend, she’s not sure she’ll be able to resist going back for seconds.

Hockey saved Devlin Connell, and his team is the only real family he’s ever had. He can’t risk losing everything, including his best friend, even for the curvy girl he shared an amazing fling with.

Adjusting to life at a new college while working on her passion project is time consuming enough for Cece without maintaining a secret relationship. And when Devlin’s father shows up, it’s a constant reminder of why he’s not worthy of her. Can this relationship ever grow into something more when they’re constantly in danger of getting a penalty call?

The Penalty is the steamy fourth book in the Lakeview Lightning contemporary sports romance series. If you like spice, emotional moments, forbidden love, and sexy hockey stars, then you’ll adore the latest installment in Nikki Jewell’s binge-worthy series.
