"You keep running from me like I'm the problem, Nat."
"Maybe you are."
Nathalie Goodwill doesn't do relationships.
Dean Di Laurentis doesn't do commitment.
Unfortunately for both of them, Briar University has other plans.
When they're forced to work together on a semester-long PR campaign for Briar's hockey team, keeping things professional should be easy.
It isn't.
Dean is cocky, relentless and impossible to ignore.
Nathalie is brilliant, sarcastic and determined never to let anyone get close enough to break her.
Until one reckless decision turns into a campus-wide scandal.
Suddenly their careers, reputations and futures are on the line-and pretending they don't want each other is no longer an option.
Because sometimes falling in love isn't the biggest risk.
Sometimes the biggest risk is letting the whole world watch you do it.
