I KNOW IT WON'T WORK, 𝖽𝖾𝖺𝗇 𝖽𝗂 𝗅𝖺𝗎𝗋𝖾𝗇𝗍𝗂𝗌 (ENG)

Brooke Harrington arrived at Briar University with only one goal: to start over from scratch. After years spent in a toxic dance environment that stripped away her passions, leaving her with an eating disorder and breathtaking anxiety, she just wants to fly under the radar. Her only anchor is Soleil, her childhood best friend-the only one who knows her monsters and would do anything to protect her.

Brooke's plan is perfect. At least until she runs into Soleil's brother.

Dean Di Laurentis is the undisputed king of the campus: hockey star, wealthy, cocky, and used to getting whatever he wants with a smile. Brooke, with her distant attitude and melancholy eyes, is the only girl who has no intention of falling at his feet. Especially because she is his sister's best friend, which makes her categorically off-limits.

Yet, between stolen hoodies and intense stares, Dean begins to chip away at her armor, becoming the only one capable of calming her anxiety. But while the chemistry between them becomes impossible to ignore, Brooke keeps repeating a phrase to herself like a mantra, terrified of that whirlwind of emotions: I know it won't work.
Will the king of the ice manage to prove to her that breaking all the rules of the game is worth it?
