Maya Kapoor came to Briar University for one thing only - a future she could control. No distractions. No drama. And definitely no hockey players.
Then she meets Noah Carter.
Briar's star defenseman is charming, reckless, and way too good at getting under her skin. When a fake dating deal throws them together, Maya thinks it'll be simple: one party, a few staged kisses, and then they walk away.
But somewhere between late-night practices, secret conversations in empty ice rinks, and stolen moments that feel dangerously real, the lines start to blur.
Because Noah is hiding more than broken hearts and bad habits.
And Maya might be the only person who sees the boy beneath the player.
In a world full of campus parties, hockey games, jealousy, and messy emotions, falling in love was never part of the plan.
