Varsity Hockey: A Sports Romance Series

HE’S THE TEAM CAPTAIN WHO NEVER LETS ANYONE SCORE. I’M THE COACH’S DAUGHTER WHO’S ABOUT TO BREAK EVERY ONE OF HIS RULES.

VINCENT CROSS
They call him "The Monk." The Blackwood University goalie. The future NHL draft pick. He’s obsessed with order, addicted to control, and treats his life like a mathematical equation he has to solve. He doesn't party, he doesn't smile, and he definitely doesn't do "distractions."
Especially not pink-haired, chaotic art students who burn toast and blast punk music at 3 AM.

ERIN VANCE
I’m a walking disaster. I weld metal for fun, I trip over my own feet, and I’m currently on academic probation. My father—the terrifying new Head Coach—has given me one simple Stay away from the players.
But when I accidentally flood my dorm (long story), there’s only one place left to live.
The "Ice Box." The hockey house.
Right across the hall from Vincent Cross.

THE COLLISION
He hates my mess. I hate his silence. But late at night, when the house is quiet, the lines between enemies and roommates start to blur. I see the hunger behind his cold grey eyes. He sees the fear beneath my loud armor.
We agree to a He helps me pass physics; I help him pretend he’s human.
But physics has a Friction creates heat.
And when Vincent finally loses control, he doesn't just break the rules. He shatters them.

Now, we’re hiding a secret that could ruin his draft stock and get me expelled. My dad is watching, the scouts are watching, and we’re skating on the thinnest ice imaginable.
We’re a disaster waiting to happen. But god, what a beautiful disaster.


SHE’S THE QUEEN OF THE CAMPUS. I’M THE TRAINWRECK FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS. WE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE IN THE SAME ROOM, LET ALONE THE SAME BED.

BILLY
They call me "The Butcher." On the ice, I’m a weapon—a six-foot-four enforcer bred for violence and silence. Off the ice, I’m a ghost, grinding for a draft pick that’s my only ticket out of poverty. I don’t do distractions. I definitely don’t do relationships.
Then the boiler blows in the dorms, and I’m shoved into a luxury suite with her.
Diana Vane. "The Duchess." The wealthy, uptight captain of the women’s team who is currently suing my athletic department.
She divides the room with blue painter’s tape. She organizes her fridge by color. She looks at me like I’m a stain on her perfect life.
I should hate her.
But when I hear her crying through the thin walls... when I see the panic behind her perfect mask... I don’t want to fight her anymore. I want to ruin her. And then I want to put her back together.

DIANA
Billy Graves is a brute. He’s messy, he’s dangerous, and he stands for everything I’m fighting against. My father demands perfection. The lawsuit demands my total focus. The last thing I need is a brooding, tattooed giant eating my organic kale and walking around in grey sweatpants that leave nothing to the imagination.
We agreed to stay on our sides of the tape.
But one night in a dark kitchen, the lines get blurred. He calls me a "good girl," and my carefully constructed walls come crashing down.
Now, we’re hiding a secret that could destroy my lawsuit and his NHL dreams.
He’s the one man I can’t have. And he’s the only one who makes me feel safe.
