Garrett Graham is the golden boy of Briar University-captain of the hockey team, arrogant, and used to getting whatever he wants. Ella Monsen is his equal in every way-captain of the volleyball team, just as confident, just as untouchable. They don't believe in love. They don't follow rules. And they definitely don't fall for people like each other. But one reckless moment turns into a dangerous game neither of them knows how to win... Because this time, it's not just about playing. It's about losing control. All rights to Elle Kennedy for the characters!

To be loved is to be seen. Gemma Graham is high fashion, pastel pink, and perfectly curated-a striking contrast to the sea of sweatpants at Briar University. But beneath her flawless eyeliner lies deep-seated anxiety and a severe panic response left behind by her volatile, emotionally abusive father, sports mogul Phil Graham. To keep her cracks from showing, Gemma keeps everyone at arm's length. Especially her hyper-protective older brother, hockey captain Garret. Beau Maxwell Briar's star defensive lineman and a projected top-five NFL draft pick, he's a 260-pound mountain of pure muscle, effortless charm, and locker-room banter. He's also Garrett's friend, making Gemma strictly off-limits. But when Beau witnesses Gemma freeze during a severe panic attack, his protective instincts completely take over.

But, when Maeve accidentally agrees to go on a date with someone who is not Garrett Graham, the boy finds himself agreeing to fake date Hannah Wells, neither realising (unlike everyone else around them) that they are, in love.
