OFF THE ICE | Matt Sturniolo

~Aleena~

Hockey has been in my life since I was born. With my great great grandfather being the founder of one of the best university hockey teams in Massachusetts, my family has made a legacy of being the best of the best. With my brother as the captain of the Cedar University Sparrows, I know we'll uphold that title. Up until the Sparrows' most challenging rival, the Bay University Sharks, get a new team captain and my family's entire reputation is at stake...

~Matthew~

As the new team captain of the Bay University Sharks hockey team, I aspire to get my team to the top of the ranks. The only team in my way is the Sparrows, and its captain, Keaton Cole. In order to make a name for myself, I plan to do everything in my power to take down the Coles and their precious Sparrows reputation. That is until snarky, pretty little Aleena Cole comes along...

IN WHICH

When a frightening accident occurs at Cedar University in Massachusetts Bay, it leaves Aleena Cole stuck on the Sparrows' hockey team in place of her older brother, where she has to lead the team to victory against the biggest threat to the Sparrows legacy in years. All thanks to cocky Matthew Sturniolo, who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
After an intense and heated interaction in the locker room, Aleena and Matthew now have to deal with their hatred for each other on the ice, and the feelings they're slowly developing off the ice.

OFF THE ICE is a spicy college rivals to lovers slow burn(ish) hockey romance.
