The Risk A no-nonsense coach's daughter who refuses to let fear dictate her choices gets tangled up in exactly the kind of forbidden situation she swore to avoid—a fake dating scheme with Jake Connelly, Harvard's infuriatingly hot rival hockey player. When she needs his help to land a crucial internship, she's forced to negotiate with the arrogant jerk, and his price is real dates mixed in with their fake ones, making it nearly impossible to keep things purely transactional. With her father ready to kill her, her friends ready to revolt, and her entire post-college future hanging in the balance, she's determined to keep her heart locked down even as the chemistry between them threatens to combust. This is a delicious enemies-to-lovers romp filled with bro banter, steamy tension, and the kind of slow-burn realization that maybe the enemy isn't actually the enemy at all.
