(Book #1 of the Westbrook Minnesota University Series)
Lottie Mae Collins, the golden girl of Westbrook Minnesota University, is stepping into her junior year with her signature charm and a plan: make memories, have fun, and soak up every moment with her friends.
Grant Smitt, the 6'6" captain of WMU's powerhouse hockey team, has had his sights set on Lottie since the night they met two years ago.
A night she doesn't even remember.
To Lottie, Grant is just the quiet, brooding goalie with a reputation as unbreakable as the puck-stopping wall he is on the ice. But as Grant and Lottie find themselves spending more and more time together, she learns there's more to the story.
There's something about his soft Canadian accent and him being surprisingly in touch with his emotions that has Lottie second-guessing her first impression.
Grant may be a fortress on the ice, but off it? He's crumbling for the girl who has no idea she's been his since the day they met.
