Brooke Maxwell has known Dean Di Laurentis almost as long as her brother has.
He's Beau's best friend. The hockey player who became a permanent fixture in their lives after freshman year. The guy who never takes anything too seriously, never seems to hear the word *no*, and has a reputation at Briar that precedes him everywhere he goes.
He's also always treated Brooke like exactly what she is supposed to be: **Beau's little sister.**
Until he doesn't.
When Brooke comes to Briar, Dean discovers that keeping his distance was a lot easier when she wasn't constantly around. Somewhere between late-night conversations, rides home, and a friendship neither of them intended to become quite so important, the line between them begins to disappear.
Brooke knows getting involved with Dean could change everything.
Dean knows it could cost him his best friend.
They know exactly why they shouldn't cross that line.
The problem is, neither of them can seem to remember why it matters when they're alone.

The Dealbreaker - Dean Di Laurentis (ONGOING)
Sienna Jensen has one rule at Briar U: Never tell anyone who her father is. After years of being known as Coach Jensen's daughter instead of just Sienna, she's determined to keep her head down, survive junior year, and finally build a life that belongs to her. No hockey players. No complications. No exceptions. Then she meets Dean Di Laurentis. Dean is charming, reckless, impossible to avoid, and exactly the kind of distraction Sienna promised herself she wouldn't fall into. What starts as a casual hookup quickly turns into late-night drives, tangled sheets, inside jokes, and a relationship that feels dangerously close to real. The problem? Dean has no idea her father is his hockey coach. And when the truth finally comes out in front of the entire team, their carefully blurred lines shatter instantly. Now Dean's terrified of losing his spot on the team, Sienna's furious that he suddenly seems ashamed of her, and neither of them can figure out how to go back to being "nothing serious." But the more they try to stay away from each other, the harder it becomes to ignore what's really happening between them. Because some secrets are impossible to keep. And some people become impossible to let go.

Rosalie Dennis has always been good at surviving. After catching her boyfriend cheating with her roommate, she's left with a broken heart, a packed suitcase, and nowhere to go. The last thing she expects is to end up living in a hockey house full of chaotic college athletes-and definitely not with Dean Di Laurentis. Dean is charming, infuriating, and far too attractive for his own good. He lives life without attachments, avoids anything serious, and somehow always knows exactly how to get under Rosalie's skin. What starts as playful banter quickly turns into stolen glances, late-night conversations, and a connection neither of them saw coming. But Rosalie isn't looking for love, and Dean has never been the kind of guy to stay. As old wounds resurface and feelings grow stronger, they'll have to decide whether what they have is just another game... or if they're finally ready to start playing for keeps.

Everywhere, Everything | Garrett Graham

Off the Record
Sadie Graham came to Briar University ready for a fresh start - new friends, freedom, and absolutely no involvement with the hockey team, despite her brother being their captain. Growing up around players like Garrett Graham taught her one thing: hockey boys are trouble. Especially Dean Di Laurentis. Cocky, charming, and impossible to ignore, Dean is exactly the kind of guy Sadie promised herself she'd stay away from. But after one reckless hookup during opening weekend, avoiding each other becomes nearly impossible - especially when Dean starts showing up everywhere she is. What starts as a secret quickly turns into something far more dangerous when feelings get involved, Garrett starts suspecting something, and an old party video leaks online for the entire campus to see. Suddenly, Sadie and Dean are caught between hockey, rumors, loyalty, and a relationship neither of them expected to become real. Because falling for your brother's best friend was never part of the plan. And neither was falling in love.
The things we don't say *Dean Di Laurentis*

Somewhere between hospital hallways, hockey rinks, and all the things left unsaid, Isabella and Dean find themselves becoming something neither of them expected. But falling for someone is easy. Letting them see the parts of you that still ache is not.
