Theoretically Offside | Harven University #1

Nick Bradshaw thought that by going away to college he would leave behind everything that tied him to Grove Manor his family, his past, and most of all, Sophie Bennett. After two years playing hockey at Harven University, he's convinced he's ready to start a new life, never looking back. But when fate brings him back to Grove Manor, his childhood home, just before preseason, he discovers that what he thought he'd left behind is still as present as ever...especially Sophie.

She's not just a bright head and a constant challenge. Sophie has changed. She's no longer the girl who dreamed of a future among the stars, nor the rival who took his sleep away. Now, after years of effort and sacrifice, Sophie has a scholarship in Harven's physics program and a future that is finally in her control. The only thing she doesn't expect is for Nick to come back into her life, causing the sparks between them to flare up with an intensity that neither of them can ignore.

Old wounds, a rivalry poisoned by the past and an undeniable chemistry begin to push them to the edge. Sophie wants to forget everything she experienced with him, but the only knowledge her brain doesn't seem to have grasped yet is how to ignore her heart. And Nick...he's determined to move on, to leave Grove Manor and everything it stood for behind, including her. But sometimes, running away from what you fear most is the only way to face it.
