Because sometimes, the line between enemies and something more is thinner than it seems. ღ He's the campus bad boy-the hockey captain with a smirk that melts ice and a reputation for chaos and charm. Raised on New York's Upper East Side, he grew up surrounded by wealth, but beneath the polished surface, his childhood was marked by divorce, loneliness, and broken family ties. College at Columbia offered him a fresh start, and he quickly made himself a king on campus-top of his class, star athlete, life of every party. But everything changed when he met her. From their first encounter, she challenged him like no one else ever had. Their banter was electric, their tension undeniable. What started as teasing and rivalry slowly twisted into something deeper-something real. Because beneath the smirks and sarcasm, she saw the pieces of him no one else bothered to look for. And that scared him more than he cared to admit.

Book One of the Checked Series ♡ Aubrey Carr doesn't do athletes, especially not hockey players with egos bigger than the rink. As a rising star in the journalism department and a legendary campus partier, she's used to being the one in control of her stories, her image, and definitely her heart. Easton Black doesn't do rules. Late to practice, always one punch away from suspension, and carrying more baggage than he lets on, he's a walking headline waiting to happen. He's also the best player on the team, and he knows it. When Aubrey gets stuck shadowing Easton for a make-or-break feature story, sparks fly in all the wrong (and right) directions. He's cocky, infuriating, and way too observant. She's bold, untouchable, and exactly the distraction he doesn't need. The only thing they have in common? They'd rather lose the game than fall for each other. Too bad life and love don't play fair.
