Anastasia Graham never really had space for anything that didn't fit into a schedule. Skating, studying, training, repeat. That was her life at Briar University, carefully structured and tightly controlled, because if she let anything slip into the gaps, everything else starts to wobble. She doesn't do distractions. She doesn't do "figuring things out." And she definitely doesn't do boys. Especially not the kind who smile like they already know how the story ends.
Dean Di Laurentis is exactly that kind of problem.
Her brother's best friend. A hockey player. Infuriatingly confident, effortlessly charming, and the kind of guy who never seems to take anything seriously until you realize he's somehow good at everything anyway. Anastasia had known of him forever, seen him around campus and in his and Garrett's shared home, always assuming he was just another cocky athlete who thrived on attention.
She was wrong.
It started as nothing, just passing moments she didn't think twice about, until one night it wasn't nothing anymore. One conversation that ran longer than it should have. One look that lingered too long. One version of him that didn't feel like the loud, careless hockey player everyone else saw. It was something that noticed her in a way she wasn't used to being noticed.
After that, things didn't stay simple.
Because suddenly it wasn't just skating and school anymore. It was skating, school, and Dean, quietly, annoyingly, taking up space in her head she didn't have to give. And with her most important figure skating performance coming up, the timing couldn't have been worse. Or more dangerous.
