Forced to leave behind the familiarity of her old world, she moves to the small town of Lakehurst to live with her estranged father, the coach of the local boys' hockey team, the Lakehurst Sirens. Once a promising figure skater, Calliope has sworn off the ice-until a chance encounter with Grayson Maverick, the Sirens' star player and school heartthrob, ignites something she thought she'd lost. As Calliope finds herself drawn back to the rink, she's thrust into the chaotic, competitive world of hockey.

Alex Baker, a guarded photography student determined to keep her distance from athletes, has to play a dangerous game of casual passion with the campus's biggest hockey playboy in order to get him out of her system without falling for his charm. ------- Alex Baker is in a catastrophic dry spell, and frankly, she's over it. She knows exactly what she likes, but no guy on campus seems capable of delivering-until she crosses paths with Jaxon Cross. ​Jaxon is Northridge University's hockey golden boy, though his real reputation has absolutely nothing to do with the ice. The rumors about his bedroom skills spread faster than campus gossip, painting him as the ultimate, unforgettable sin. But behind the cocky smirk and the heavy praise is a guy secretly suffocating under the shallow image everyone forces on him. ​Alex detests him on principle. Jaxon is addicted to the fiery, sharp way she looks at him-like he's the worst mistake she could ever make. ​But when Jaxon overhears her brutally venting about her lackluster sex life, he offers her a deal that makes her blood run hot: a strict, no-strings-attached hookup pact. No emotions. No expectations. Just pure, unadulterated pleasure. ​Curiosity wins. But the second Jaxon touches her, the boundaries blur. ​Because Jaxon doesn't just satisfy her body-he wrecks her mind. Between tangled sheets and breathless midnight confessions, he shows her a sweet, protective side no one else gets to see. Suddenly, the player who was only supposed to be a temporary fix is becoming an addiction she can't quit. ​Alex swore this was just a game. Jaxon is ready to change the rules. And now, she has to decide if she's brave enough to risk her heart on the one guy she promised herself she'd never love. This is the second book in the Northridge Series.
