Ryan wasn't expecting to end up with the captain of the hockey team as a roommate, and she certainly didn't expect the initial sexual tension between them to blossom into love. ***** In desperate need of a place to stay, Ryan Winters doesn't see an issue with rooming with the captain of the hockey team, Ethan Russell. After all, she's focused on her studies, getting over an ex, and honestly, not that into athletes. Though the more time she spends getting to know her new roommate, the more it becomes apparent that Ethan is the exact type of guy she could fall for. When lines begin to blur and drama from the past threatens to tear them apart, can the two of them find a way to keep both their friendship-and their relationship-from crumbling to pieces?

"It was because I fell in love with you and I was scared." "How can you be scared of falling in love? Especially when I gave you everything I had an all you did was throw it away. You never cared, did you?" ~ The stereotype for the offspring of a hockey legend is that they get everything handed to them. With Madison Gretzky it is quite the opposite. Not only is she the middle daughter of "The Great One" Wayne Gretzky, former captain of the Edmonton Oilers, but she's also carving her own path in her hockey career. With her being a girl it makes everything ten times harder, but they always say you'll find a way to make something happen, right? Through her ups and downs of fighting through the tears and the heartache Madison meets Connor McDavid who is suffering through his own personal issues. The two don't exactly "click" and it certainly wasn't love at first sight. Although the two argue constantly and often chirp every now and then, the hatred quickly begins to fade.
