Bossy.
Her name says it all.
She's a loud mouth, short tempered, stubborn as a mule, pain in the ass.
But no one can deny, that girl can play hockey.
And maybe she is a smartass, but she's still a Duck. Underneath it all, everyone knows she loves her team, her family.
That is until, the family gets a little bigger.
When new recruits are brought in from around the country to represent America in the Goodwill Games, along comes Bossy's worst nightmare.
The enforcer, Dean Portman.
Tough, arrogant, rebellious, a showboater and just as much of a smartass as Bossy.
No one had ever challenged her before, but now she's met her match.
Bossy looks at him and sees a goon, getting in the way of her chances at winning.
Dean looks at her, and sees a challenge.
He's intrigued by this fiery girl, and he knows that there's more than what's on the surface.
And he plans to find out what it is.
Challenge accepted.
❝Jab koi salam kare, toh uska jawab dete hain,❞ he said with a voice that sent a shiver down her spine.
"Ji," she barely managed to whisper before yanking her hand back and running to the kitchen.

Pari had always dreamed of a beautiful love story...
But on her wedding night, those dreams shattered: "Don't expect anything from this marriage," her husband said in an emotionless tone. "Yeh sirf meri family ke liye ek formality hai. Bas. Aur kuch nahi.". She stared at him, her lips parting as if to speak, but no words came.
A few days later, while cleaning the attic, she found a diary... his diary. A woman's name written over and over again. It didn't take much to piece the truth together... his heart was never hers to begin with.
Still, no matter how much his indifference hurt, she couldn't stop herself from falling for him.
And just when she thought things couldn't get more complicated, life threw her the ultimate twist...
At university, she came face to face with her cold, distant husband once again... this time, as his STUDENT.
And that was only the beginning...
