When Evelyn and her long-term enemy, star hockey captain Atlas, are forced to work together on a university media project, sparks fly as resisting their attraction becomes a far bigger challenge than their opposing opinions. Standalone in the Wellsfield University Series ***** Evelyn Hayes has hated Atlas Griffin, the golden boy of their university hockey team, since their very first conversation three years ago. To Evelyn, he's the womanizing, arrogant epitome of rich privilege and everything she despises. So when a university-funded media project for the hockey team throws her into Atlas' orbit, she fully expects them to be at each other's throats. What she doesn't expect is for the snarky comments and daring glares to turn into sparks of undeniable attraction. With Atlas' sights set on the NHL and Evelyn desperate to keep the media lead position she's worked so hard for, neither is interested in anything complicated. Soon, a heated one-night stand leads to an enemies-with-benefits hookup pact. But is either ready to face the consequences when the lines blur and strings start to get attached?

She loved him with everything she had-her time, her heart, her dignity. But the male lead never loved her back. In the end, she lost her family, her future, and her life... all because of that love. But fate gave her a second chance. Now back in her second year of college, she's done chasing love. No more following him around campus. No more gifts, no more tears. This time, she chooses herself. When classmates mock her for no longer loving the male lead, she doesn't hide-she stands on stage at a college event and apologizes for everything: her past behavior, her mistakes, and the chaos she caused. The next day, her apology video spreads across campus-and the girl once known as the foolish villainess starts to rewrite her story. She's not here to win hearts anymore. She's here to become someone worth being proud of. Let me know if you want a dramatic one-liner tagline too, like: "She chased love once. This time, she'll chase her future." or "From villainess to healer-her story has just begun."
