Dean Di Laurentis x OC
OFF THE ICE
An Off Campus Love Story
Some lines were never meant to be crossed.
Dean Di Laurentis has spent the last four years building a reputation at Briar University. As one of the hockey team's alternate captains, he's known for his discipline, loyalty, and the fearless way he plays the game. With graduation looming and one final season ahead of him, Dean has one goal: bring another championship home.
Falling for his captain's little sister was never part of the plan.
Harper Graham has always lived in the shadow of her older brother, Garrett Graham-the captain of Briar University's hockey team. She's spent years cheering from the stands, growing up around the players who became like family. Dean Di Laurentis was always the quiet one. The one who rarely smiled, never spoke more than necessary, and somehow became the boy she couldn't stop noticing.
Now Harper is a junior, Dean is a senior, and the lines they've never dared to cross suddenly don't seem so impossible anymore.
Late-night conversations in an empty arena turn into stolen moments. Friendly glances become lingering touches. What starts as an unexpected friendship quickly grows into something neither of them can ignore.
But some relationships come with consequences.
Garrett trusts Dean with everything-his team, his back, and his friendship.
Just not his little sister.
As secrets pile up and Dean's final season slips away one game at a time, he'll have to decide whether protecting the people he loves means walking away from Harper... or risking everything for the girl who has always felt like home.
Because the hardest battles aren't fought on the ice. They're fought off of it. 🏒🤍
