Part of Campus Nights
First published 2021
The day she starts her internship with the Wildcats, she gets one rule: no sleeping with the players. Simple enough. Then she finds out her new roommate is Johnny Maverick, star forward for that same NHL team and her longtime friend. The arrangement is supposed to be temporary, just a few weeks while she gets through the internship and proves herself. Johnny is loud and fun and a little ridiculous, and she already knows him well enough to know he breaks rules the way other people breathe. What she does not expect is the version of him she gets up close. He is unexpectedly kind. He makes her laugh at herself. He takes the edge off the pressure she puts on herself every day at work. She is not looking for this. She does not want to risk her career or the friendship for something that probably will not last. But wanting something and resisting it are two different problems, and Johnny Maverick has a way of making her forget which one she is supposed to be solving.
