Chloe Vance spent two years trying to erase the ghost of Garrett Graham from her life. Once her childhood best friend and the boy who held her teenage heart, he became the guy who left her standing in a prom dress, vanished without an explanation, and broke her heart into pieces. It took a summer at camp and a new best friend, John Logan, to help her finally put herself back together.
Now, Chloe is finally moving on, focused on her own future-until she walks into Briar University's notorious hockey house. Standing in the living room is the one person she never expected to see again. Garrett.
He's Briar's golden-boy hockey captain, charming as ever, and apparently completely unprepared for the furious girl from his past to crash into his present. The old connection is still there, but so is years' worth of resentment. Garrett wants a chance to explain; Chloe just wants to get through college without letting him shatter her a second time. But in a house full of hockey players and shared history, avoiding the captain is going to be an uphill battle.

After Midnight
She lives on the ice. He lives for the game. As one of Briar University's top figure skaters, she's spent years proving she belongs. Between early morning practices, competitions, and keeping up with classes, she doesn't have time for distractions, especially not cocky hockey players. Unfortunately for her, Garrett Graham has never been very good at taking a hint. What starts as harmless teasing and late-night encounters at the rink slowly turns into something neither of them saw coming. Because beneath Garrett's charm and reputation is a side of him few people get to see. And beneath her carefully controlled life is a girl who's terrified of letting anyone get close enough to leave. But falling is part of figure skating. And maybe, just maybe, it's part of falling in love too.

Dean Di Laurentis has always had a way out of trouble. Charm the professor. Sweet talk the coach. Flash a grin and let the world bend to his will. Except this time, it doesn't. With three failing classes and his hockey career on the line, Dean needs Bs and he needs them fast. Anastasia Miller needs a way to finally break free from the toxic ex she can't seem to stop going back to. A fake relationship seems like the perfect solution.
