For seven years, my best friend has been a faceless voice on the internet.
Annie knows me better than anyone. We've spent thousands of hours gaming together, but we've never exchanged names, photos, or personal details. That's the deal.
Then I discover Annie is actually Cecilia Ramos, the billionaire tech genius working with my team on groundbreaking helmet research.
The woman who challenges me at every turn.
The woman I can't stop thinking about.
Being friends with Ceci online was easy. Being friends with her in person is a lot harder when all I can think about is kissing her.
Especially because friendship is all I have to offer. After the last woman I trusted shattered my life, I've spent years keeping everyone at arm's length. Ceci deserves more than someone who's still trying to put himself back together.
Too bad she makes me forget every reason I should stay away.
And the closer we get, the harder it becomes to convince myself that being her friend is enough.
Instigator is a neurospicy, secret identity, online friends to lovers hockey romance with mutual pining, emotional healing, and an unhealthy love of baseball. As always in an Allie Lasky book, he falls first, but she comes first-every time.
