River Williams is a master at playing the happy, normal college student. But behind her easy smile is a girl fighting a silent war against her own mind, living in the shadow of a high school mistake that cost her everything. She doesn't deserve love, and she certainly doesn't deserve JJ Belmont, the arrogant, fiercely protective hockey captain she accidentally shot down at a party two years ago. JJ Belmont doesn't do rejection. He definitely doesn't do River, the icy English major who has been a thorn in his side ever since she blew him off. But when his grades plummet, and his captaincy is threatened, he's forced to swallow his pride and beg his favorite enemy for help. The plan is simple: she tutors him, he passes, and they go back to ignoring each other. But behind closed doors, the animosity starts to blur into something scorching hot. But River's past is a landmine, and a single hidden secret is waiting to explode the trust they've built. *UNEDITED* ____________________ ✩ rankings: #1 ROMANTICCOMEDY (22/07/2026) #1 COLLAGE (16/08/2026) #1 UNIVERSITY (01/07/2026) #3 MICHEGAN (05/07/2026) #3 JOCK (05/07/2026) #5 ROMANTIC (22/07/2026) [Word Count: 113,700+] Copyright ©2026 by Annabella May

I agreed to tutor the hockey captain. Now I'm stuck pretending to be his girlfriend while he tries to convince me he's not as bad as I know him to be. My one goal is to graduate and get a job. Preferably without a mountain of debt. My current obstacle: Dallas Hawking. Captain of the hockey team, brawler, entitled douchebag. He thinks he's God's gift to women. Probably expects me to worship the ground he walks on. But he's paying me to tutor him. And to be his fake girlfriend. It's just one semester. What could possibly go wrong? A few months and then I don't have to ever see him again. Right? Welcome to UNI! This is the first book in the Pucking Lions series. A perfect place to start.

They hate each other. Always. Since first year. She is a pureblood, proud and sharp-tongued. He is Theodore Nott - cold, arrogant, used to getting whatever he wants. When his parents decide it's time for him to marry, he names her. She becomes his girlfriend. For show. In public - the perfect couple. In private - enemies who would destroy each other with a single word. But the longer they play, the harder it becomes to tell where the game ends and the truth begins.

Sugar's addicting. So is she. Graham Davis has two addictions: Hockey-and Gracie Daniels. (Not that he knows it yet.) At St. Brown University, Gracie Daniels is the golden girl. Blonde ponytail, perfect smile, always saying yes. So when she's asked to manage PR for the hockey team, she agrees-hoping to help thaw their notoriously icy captain. But Graham Davis doesn't melt. He's distant, guarded, and doesn't need help from a pink-sweater-wearing perfectionist... until he starts noticing things he shouldn't. Skipped meals. Covered bruises. Flinches too small to be accidental. Gracie is sweet, bright, and hiding more than anyone knows. And Graham can't stop looking.

It all went downhill the moment she kissed him in the penalty box. Because apparently, that's not something people do casually - especially not in front of a crowd, through glass, while he's supposed to be serving time for fighting. They were supposed to fake date for PR. Stand close. Look convincing. Don't catch feelings. Simple. Except it stopped being simple somewhere between viral photos, very real-looking kisses, and a friend group that has fully committed to planning their wedding like it's already happening. Now they're stuck in something that was never supposed to feel real - but somehow does. At this point, the only fake thing left... is the original plan.
