CGU Marauders defenseman Sebastien Deveaux lives by one rule: never lose control. Not on the ice. Not of his future. And definitely not with the daughter of Coral Gables University's president.

Ending his high-heat situationship with campus golden girl Camille Laurent should eliminate the distraction threatening his championship season and NHL dreams. Instead, it shatters the carefully balanced life he's built—and leaves him vulnerable to the one connection he never expected.

Emery Walsh has spent her life earning everything she's ever had. A scholarship student, aspiring professional violinist, and athletic tutor, she knows better than to get involved with a hockey player whose future is already mapped out. Her loyalty to Camille has never cost her anything—until now. But when Emery agrees to help keep the hockey team academically eligible, she's drawn into the hockey family Sebastien has built alongside billet brother Beckett Burke—and into his orbit just as everything around him begins to unravel.

The closer Sebastien and Emery grow, the harder it becomes to ignore what's happening—and the impossible choice between the future Sebastien has spent his whole life chasing and the one person who makes him question it.
