First published 2023
Allie Hayes faces graduation without knowing what comes next. Her long relationship just ended, leaving her heartbroken and directionless. She decides wild rebound sex won't solve anything, but hockey star Dean Di Laurentis proves irresistible. She plans on just one night with the campus heartthrob. Dean gets whatever he wants. Girls throw themselves at him, professors give him grades, and scouts offer recognition. No woman has ever resisted his charm until Allie rocks his world for one perfect night, then suggests they stay friends. Dean refuses to accept friendship. He launches into full pursuit mode, determined to win over the feisty blonde who walked away. When major life changes hit both of them, Dean questions whether his usual focus on conquest serves him anymore. Maybe the time has come to stop chasing quick scores and aim for something deeper.
