After a campus bet forces laser-focused figure skater Amara Desrosiers to fake date golden boy hockey captain Ethan Bennett, she must guard her Olympic-track focus as publicity, secrets, and undeniable chemistry threaten to derail both their seasons. *** Figure skater Amara Desrosiers starts her freshman year in Calgary laser-focused on scholarships, clean programs, and the Olympic track. No distractions, especially not hockey boys. Then a stupid campus bet pairs her with Ethan Bennett, the hockey team's golden captain, whose swagger hides a bruised family past. Soon, their snark sparks into chemistry neither wants, and a push for unity between the ice sport teams leads to a fake dating publicity plan. Between 5 a.m. practices, team after-parties, and the glare of university gossip, Amara fights to protect the dream her mother left her while Ethan tries to be more than a headline on and off the ice. When their bet turns into real stakes and their first "not-a-date" becomes very public, they'll have to choose: guard their goals-or risk them for something that looks a lot like love.

"You keep looking at me like you don't want me, Adeline," Will murmurs, his lips brushing against my jaw while hand slides higher on my bare thigh, slow and deliberate. "But your body says otherwise." My breath gets caught in my throat and my brain screams to say something, anything-but my lips won't move. "I..." I begin to say, but the words die before they even leave my lips the second his mouth touches my neck. ⊹₊⟡⋆ Adeline Serrano has a reputation to protect. Straight A's, flawless record, and the badge of honor that comes with being the principal's daughter. At Willow Creek Preparatory she's everything a good girl should be: polished, respected, and untouchable. But one drunken summer night changed everything. One kiss-hot, messy, absolutely forbidden-with the last person she should've been caught dead with. Will Carter. They don't call him the prince of chaos for nothing. The mayor's rebellious son. All smirks, bruised knuckles, and bad decision. Practically a walking scandal. Recently suspended for smoking with someone's daughter in the boys' bathroom. Now he's back- with a bruised jaw, a vendetta, and nothing to lose. So when Will decides to turn the school's poster girl into his newest distraction, Adeline's carefully built world begins to unravel. Secrets stir, bets are made, lessons are taught, truths unravel, and lines blur between hate and desire. She's pretending it never happened, he's planning to make sure she never forgets. Because some girls break rules. And the best ones? They shatter them.
