When one-night changes everything.

“The next morning, I woke up in a room I didn’t recognize.

My head pounded, my mouth dry, and lying beside me…

Hayden Michaels.

The boy who had made my high school years a living hell.”

Then the first week of class reveals the guy from that night is the campus hockey star who once humiliated her—the cocky bully she swore to hate. They’re not supposed to fall for each other.

Scholarship student Coleen has one rule: keep her head down and her heart locked. But when she’s faced with a dangerously jealous ex, the last person she expects to protect her is Hayden Michaels—the cocky bully from their one-night stand. Now the arrogant hockey star she swore to hate is showing up with hot chocolate, secret rink lessons, and the kind of protective patience that makes enemies-to-lovers feel inevitable—even under family opposition.

Hayden’s dream is the NHL, not romance, but the bookish girl with a bite becomes his calm in the noise. With scouts in the stands and powerful family opposition pushing an early draft, he has to choose between the life they mapped out and the one he wants.
