Rookie Moves - NQU - Book One

Ava, an English major at Northern Quebec University, had been nervous about leaving her hometown for the icy expanse of campus life. The thought of starting fresh was daunting, but those worries melted away almost as quickly as she unpacked her suitcase. Her roommate, Luka, turned out to be the perfect match-warm, witty, and a fellow night owl who shared her love for spontaneous late-night conversations. Before she knew it, Ava found herself not just adjusting to NQU but thriving, carving out a space that already felt like home.

That was until Liam appeared. Luka's friend from back home, he seemed to walk into the room with a hockey stick in one hand and an ego that could barely fit through the door. A star player on the university's team, he exuded confidence-too much of it-and an unapologetic attitude that immediately rubbed Ava the wrong way. He was cocky, brash, and, as far as she could tell, an unapologetic asshole. Her carefully crafted sense of peace at NQU suddenly felt threatened, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to deal with the storm Liam brought with him.
