"Stay away from me." "Funny," he says, stepping closer. "You haven't moved either." The last person hockey captain Luca Moretti wants in his life is the loud, unapologetic influencer who turns every room-and every camera-toward herself. The last person Tiana Bennet wants is the arrogant captain who thinks the world revolves around hockey. When Tiana is chosen to become the official social media ambassador for the university's championship hockey team, she expects exclusive access, exciting content, and a career-defining opportunity-not to be stuck with the team's infuriating captain, who makes it clear he doesn't want her anywhere near him. Now she's following the team everywhere: practices, road trips, charity events, interviews... and even sharing a cabin with only one bed. "You drive me insane." "So why are you still holding my hand?" Every glare lingers too long. Every argument ends with them inches apart. And every touch makes it harder to remember they're supposed to hate each other. Because sometimes the line between enemies and lovers is only one heartbeat apart.

A pre-med student with a flawless GPA, meticulous routines, and a future mapped years in advance, she believes in control-in earning what she wants and keeping drama at arm's length.

And eventually, the truth becomes impossible to ignore. Alex was unfaithful. He never says it outright, but the disrespect is evident. Camila tries to let go. Tries to be the bigger person. But heartbreak curdles into something sharper when she realizes how little he seems to care. One disrespect for another. Anger takes root. And then there's Leo Brooks. Alex's former best friend. His unresolved rivalry. A transfer student with his own reputation, his own edge, and a very clear reason to hate Alex just as much as she does. Leo keeps appearing-everywhere. Unintentional of course, but; That's when the idea forms. What starts as strategy quickly turns dangerous. Because Leo isn't a pawn, and Camila isn't as unaffected as she pretends to be.
