Off limits
By @Nanna Vireä
To twenty-one-year-old Nanna Kohl, Jaden Brooks is the ultimate toxic hazard. He is her older brother’s best friend, a towering, twenty-four-year-old hockey star with bedroom eyes, a cocky smirk, and a trail of broken hearts across New York City. Nanna has spent years hiding behind her oversized streetwear, shielding her shy, inexperienced heart from his relentless teasing. But when an unexpected betrayal thrusts them together, Jaden proposes a dangerous arrangement to help her find her confidence. The rules are clear: keep it secret from her overprotective brother, and never catch feelings. Yet, beneath Jaden's shallow player persona lies a desperate need to be truly seen, and beneath Nanna’s hostility lies a burning curiosity. As stolen kisses in dark corners turn into an addictive obsession, the stakes skyrocket. In a world where one leaked rumor can ruin their lives, they must decide if this forbidden game is worth the ultimate public heartbreak.
