About this book
Hockey is everything to Stone, but his dreams of making the NHL are threatened when Wren Davis enters the picture. Convinced she is responsible for jeopardizing his future, Stone makes a vow to make her life a living hell. The only problem? Wren is his best friend’s foster sister, and their connection makes avoiding her nearly impossible. The tension reaches a breaking point when Stone arrives at Shadow Valley University, only to discover that his new dorm room comes with an unwelcome surprise: Wren is his roommate. What begins as a classic enemies-to-lovers setup quickly transforms into a volatile game of cat and mouse. As they trade barbs and escalate their rivalry, the lines between hatred and desire begin to blur. Stone is determined to hold onto his grudge, but the more time they spend in close quarters, the harder it becomes to ignore the magnetic pull between them. Wren is just as fierce, refusing to back down from his bullying, which only forces Stone to confront the reality that she is occupying more space in his head than he ever intended. In this high-stakes, spicy college romance, the pair must decide if their past grievances are worth the price of letting each other in.
