{The Keepers Series 1} {hockey romance x bwwm} Iyanuade: I've known Raphael since he was a bright and charming kid. He's like a little brother to me, and I'd do anything to protect his smile. Raphael: I never saw her as just a friend or an employee, only as the woman I wanted. And now, I'll stop at nothing to claim her — even if it means pretending to be weak, vulnerable, and in need of her protection. But when a reckless night changes everything, Iyanuade is determined to maintain their professional and friendship boundaries. However, Raphael, the charming hockey captain, has other plans. He'll do whatever it takes to make his beautiful Iyanu his. As the lines between protection, passion, and friendship blur, can Iyanuade resist the temptation, or will she succumb to her desires and risk everything?
