About this audiobook
Perfect for fans of Heated Rivalry and Icebreaker, this funny, spicy college hockey romance launches the Colton U series with a forbidden romance between the smart, shy girl, and the popular player.
Maisie:
I’ve always been good at staying invisible.
The girl no one really notices.
The quiet one who keeps her head down and stays out of trouble.
Until Austin Rhodes crashes into my life and everything changes.
Now he needs tutoring and apparently, I’m his only shot at passing.
He’s loud, way too charming for his own good, and the kind of guy I’ve spent my whole life avoiding.
I should have no problem keeping this professional. Tutor him, help him pass, then walk away.
But Austin has a way of breaking down my walls.
And that might be fine…
If I wasn’t already caught up with someone else.
Someone I’ve never met.
Someone who knows every secret I’m too scared to say out loud.
I’m the tutor. The girl with all the answers.
But this is the one problem I can’t solve.
Austin:
Hockey is everything to me.
It’s the plan, the dream, the only thing I’ve ever really been good at.
So when I get suspended for failing anatomy, I’ll do whatever it takes to fix it.
Even if that means getting tutored by the figure skater I accidentally knocked in the head.
Maisie Wilson is sharp, guarded, and completely uninterested in my charm.
Which just makes her more fun to mess with.
She thinks she knows exactly who I am.
But what she doesn’t see is how fast she’s becoming the only thing I want—on and off the ice.
I should focus on getting through the season and staying out of her way.
But I can’t stop thinking about her.
Problem is... she’s not the only one.
Because I’m also falling for a girl I’ve never met—one who only exists behind a screen.
I might be a playmaker, but right now, I’m at a loss for which play to make next.
