"Ruby Foxx is the only girl I've ever wanted . . . and she's completely off-limits.
Her brother is my teammate and best friend. They're my family. We grew up across the hall, sharing a secret connection I've tried hard to forget. But I never crossed the line—not then, and not when we came to Riverside U—I've kept my distance.
Until her dorm floods, and she moves into the hockey house. Now, there's nowhere to hide. Ruby's always around, and my feelings are hitting harder than a body check on the ice.
Then she confesses she's never been with a man . . . and asks me to change that. I can't just take what she's offering—I need to make it special—something she'll never regret. I promise to take my time and teach her, but I'm the one getting schooled because I'm falling fast.
The guilt is like a slap shot, knowing I'm betraying my best friend—my family—by falling in love with her. I know I should skate away, but after tasting happiness with Ruby, I can't let her go.
What if, by holding on, I lose everything—on and off the ice?

"The perfect defense against my lying, manipulative ex? Fake date the enforcer for the Riverside U hockey team.
It's the least Cade Price can do after I helped him save face when he caught his girlfriend playing tonsil hockey with another guy.
Convincing him to be my pretend boyfriend doesn't take much—his cheating ex is already trying to crawl back into his life—and he's desperate to prove he's moved on.
Our arrangement is simple; no strings, no feelings. But he's everything I didn't expect: warm, fiercely protective, and far too easy to fall for. Cade suggests we upgrade our fake relationship to one with benefits, but every kiss and touch feels more real than it should.
Now I'm starting to wonder if the only people we're fooling is ourselves.
When the game ends, will Cade prove he's the real deal—or leave me blindsided?

"I accidentally hooked up with the captain of the hockey team . . .
In my defense, it was before I landed the social media internship—and learned about the strict no fraternization policy. Not that it matters. I'm pretty sure he hates me after I took off and left him sleeping on the beach.
I'm forced to work closely with the angry captain and all I can think about is the steamy night we spent together. And how it can't happen again, because if word gets out it could cost us both everything.
Keeping my distance is harder than I thought when my dorm floods and my temporary housing is—you guessed it. The hockey house. Being under the same roof, I see Finn in a whole new light.
He's not just the cocky jock I pegged him as. He's so much more, and it pushes the boundaries of our frenemies-with-benefits situationship.
Now I'm not just facing off with the captain . . . I'm falling head over heels for him.
