Cameron Cross has spent four years proving everyone right.
Star hockey player. Campus heartbreaker. Walking bad decision.
By graduation, there isn't a girl at Briar University who hasn't heard a story about him.
Most of them are true.
Cameron has never wanted a relationship. Never wanted forever. Never wanted anything beyond the next game, the next party, the next girl.
Then he meets Holly Bennett.
And for the first time in his life, he wants something real.
Unfortunately, Holly already knows exactly who he is.
After surviving a relationship that left more scars than anyone can see, Holly has spent years rebuilding herself. Trust doesn't come easily anymore, and Cameron Cross-the king of casual hookups-is the last person she should believe in.
No matter how many times he shows up.
No matter how patient he is.
No matter how much he insists she's different.
Because Holly has heard stories from girls who thought they were different too.
But while Cameron is trying to prove he's not the man everyone thinks he is, Holly is fighting battles of her own. Trauma. Insecurity. A body she doesn't always recognize as her own. A future that feels uncertain in more ways than one.
The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore what's growing between them.
The problem is that some penalties last longer than two minutes.
And some boxes are harder to leave than others.
PENALTY BOX is a college hockey romance about trust, healing, and discovering that sometimes the person who deserves your heart is the one willing to wait for it.
