The Beautiful Collision : A forced proximity & secret bet hockey romance (Pine Barren University #4)

A steamy new college hockey romance featuring forced proximity roommates, secret wagers, and two people who are the life of the party even when they're drowning .

HER REBELLION

Maya Hayes is the wild stallion of Pine Barren University—fierce, untouchable, the party queen who’s completely in control. But when she’s cut off from her wealthy family for defying their expectations, she rebels in her own way.

Throwing parties and pretending everything’s perfect… even when it’s killing her.

HIS PERFORMANCE

Maine Hamilton is the Maine Show—hockey team Alpha, legendary partier, the campus comedian. Yet behind the jokes and the big guy energy, he’s drowning in debt, working sixty-hour weeks, and sending every spare dollar home for his sister’s medical bills.

He’s everyone’s entertainment, but nobody knows the show is coming to an end.

THEIR DANGEROUS ARRANGEMENT

When Maya needs a cheap room and Maine needs rent money, their solution seems become roommates with strict boundaries. No feelings. No complications. Just two people sharing space and absolutely not falling for each other.

But forced proximity has its own rules. Every morning she does yoga in tiny shorts. Every night he does shirtless pull-ups. They share a kitchen, a bathroom, late night confessions, and increasingly heated glances in between their passive-aggressive sticky note war.

And then comes the bet…
