His voice, the way he looks at me, it's so genuine, raw.
My luck. This makes everything harder.
Addilyn Webster has her whole life planned out. Graduate from Laumyrt Uni with her biochemistry degree, win the annual spring figure skating competition, earn a spot on Team USA, and thrive in her adult life, preferably without a man in the way. With hockey season starting back up, she has to now share the rink with the players and that's the last thing she wants to do. She's in no mood for any form of distractions that could stray her away from her hard work. One distraction in particular she's worried about.
Ethan Malkins is the goalie of the Laumyrt hockey team, one of the best the university has ever seen. After making his team lose the Frozen Four last year with his internal struggles thanks to losing his high school sweetheart, he's locked in. Women won't get in the way this time. At least...that was the plan. Meeting a sassy green eyed figure skater at his practice may just be what lures him in and repeating his same cycle again. That's a risk he's not sure to take, but it's tempting. She's tempting.
Addilyn is reluctant to let another man into her life, Ethan is fearful to fall in love because of his own history. They have their own careers and hobbies to prioritize, but it seems fate continues to lead them back to one another. It frustrates Addilyn, it amuses Ethan.
With this invisible string comes spine shivering chemistry that could make or break their junior year and everything they've both poured their heart into.
Ryan wasn't expecting to end up with the captain of the hockey team as a roommate, and she certainly didn't expect the initial sexual tension between them to blossom into love.
*****
In desperate need of a place to stay, Ryan Winters doesn't see an issue with rooming with the captain of the hockey team, Ethan Russell. After all, she's focused on her studies, getting over an ex, and honestly, not that into athletes. Though the more time she spends getting to know her new roommate, the more it becomes apparent that Ethan is the exact type of guy she could fall for. When lines begin to blur and drama from the past threatens to tear them apart, can the two of them find a way to keep both their friendship-and their relationship-from crumbling to pieces?
