Falling Wrong

'We were never meant to share a space, a moment, or a kiss.
But the things you swear won't matter are often the ones that undo you completely'

-----------------------------

Clara Hayes
Clara is headstrong, sharp-tongued, and quietly fierce. Used to living in the shadow of her best friend, Madison-the girl everyone notices-Clara has spent years being the overlooked one, the backup, the constant. College was supposed to be her reset, her chance to step out of someone else's spotlight.

Beck Bennett
Beck Bennett is Ashford College hockey royalty. On the ice, he's controlled, precise, and undeniably brilliant-the kind of player scouts watch closely. Off the ice? He's arrogant, rude, emotionally closed-off, and very aware of his own appeal. Beck doesn't do complications, just one time things not in his bed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beck Bennett has everything exactly the way he wants it-until he comes home to find a girl standing in his apartment, bags in hand, with nowhere else to go.

Clara didn't plan on sharing a two-bedroom apartment with Ashford College's most notorious hockey player. She didn't plan on clashing with him at every turn, either. But when the dorms fill up and mistakes can't be undone, they're forced into a living arrangement neither of them asked for.

Months of slammed doors, sharp words, and unresolved tension follow-until one party, one mistake, and one drunken kiss changes everything.

Now the lines they drew are blurred. The apartment feels smaller. The tension feels heavier. And the closer they get, the more dangerous it becomes to pretend they feel nothing at all.
