Description

He's the king of the campus and the one man you swore to avoid, but now the hockey captain has you cornered, and he's not letting you go. As a transfer student, your plan was simple: keep your head down, get your degree, and leave your past behind. You have no time for distractions—especially not the kind that comes with a notorious reputation and a devastatingly handsome face. Noah Hale, captain of the university's champion hockey team, is that distraction. On the surface, he's everything you despise: a popular jock with a cocky grin and what seems like the entire student body vying for his attention. Rumor has it he breaks hearts as easily as he scores goals. But when he singles you out at a crowded victory party, you see a flicker of something else beneath the bravado. He's surprisingly perceptive, challenging your icy exterior with a teasing warmth you find both infuriating and intriguing. He claims he's not the player everyone thinks he is, and despite your best judgment, you're starting to wonder if the real Noah Hale is a secret worth uncovering. Can you stick to your plan, or will you risk your heart on the one guy who could shatter it?
