A spicy college hockey enemies-to-lovers romance.

Tessa Lane prefers books to people -- especially loud, cocky hockey players who think the world revolves around them. So when she's assigned to tutor Liam Hayes, the university's star forward and certified walking red flag, she expects a headache...

Not a problem she can't stop thinking about.

Liam needs her help to stay eligible.
Tessa needs the money.
Neither of them needs the sparks that ignite the moment they're alone together.

What starts as sharp banter and strictly professional study sessions quickly turns into slow-burn tension neither of them can ignore. Beneath Liam's swagger is a man carrying more than he lets on. Beneath Tessa's walls is a heart he's determined to break through -- whether she likes it or not.

But when a dangerous secret from Liam's past threatens his career and their fragile trust, everything they've built begins to crack.

To win her back, Liam will have to fight harder than he ever has on the ice...
and prove that love means choosing growth, honesty, and each other -- even when it hurts.
