Ari Williams has her entire life color-coded. As a junior nursing student at Briar University, her schedule is a brutal cycle of twelve-hour clinical rotations, endless pharmacology cram sessions, and zero room for distractions. She certainly doesn't have time for the chaotic army of hockey players moving into the apartment directly across the hall.
Enter Dean Di Laurentis.
Briar's star hockey alternative-captain is wealthy, devastatingly handsome, and possesses a confident charm that usually leaves a trail of swooning college girls in his wake. He's used to skating through life on talent and a smirk-until he meets Ari. Sharp, fiercely independent, and entirely unimpressed by his player status, she is a challenge Dean never saw coming.
What starts as a neighborly heavy-lifting favor sparks an immediate, electric connection. Dean drops his casual playbook and goes all-in, treating Ari like the prize he refuses to lose. Their romance is a breathtakingly fast burn-until a single morning changes everything.
Two pink lines. A positive pregnancy test.
Suddenly, their college bubble pops. Ari is terrified her medical dreams are slipping away, and Dean is facing the pressure of the upcoming NHL draft with a new, high-stakes reality hanging in the balance. But as the hockey house rallies around them to form "Team Ari," Dean is determined to prove that he isn't just a national champion on the ice-he's ready to be the protector, provider, and father his new family needs.
From grueling hospital shifts and championship games to the ultimate delivery room countdown, Ari and Dean are about to find out that sometimes the best life plans are the ones you never saw coming.
