About this book

Hunter Davenport has one mission as his hockey team's new captain: stay focused and keep his hands to himself—no distractions allowed. When he meets the witty and magnetic Demi Davis, friendship seems like the perfect safe zone…until she becomes single and makes it crystal clear she wants more than just his friendship. Suddenly, they're stuck on a year-long project together, and resisting her proves way harder than Hunter anticipated, especially when his carefully constructed rules start crumbling. This is a delicious slow-burn romance about two people from opposite worlds discovering that sometimes the best plays aren't planned—they just happen when you least expect them.

“Create a playlist called The Play. Tension-filled indie and R&B with sultry undertones—think The Weeknd, SZA, and boygenius. Slow-burn chemistry colliding with magnetic attraction. Witty banter masking deeper want. That moment right before everything changes. College nights, stolen glances, and carefully broken rules.”
