Against All Odds

Rylan Keller is dreading the start of spring semester. After choosing a college across the country and spending the past fall abroad, she'll be a Holt University student. Worse than starting over at a new school? Starting over at a new school where your dad is the head coach of the men's hockey team. And reluctantly agreeing to tutor a player, then coming face-to-face with the guy you thought you'd never see again.

Aidan Phillips has a reputation on campus. One he's carefully curated to include limited reliability or responsibility. Outside of hockey, he spends his free time drinking, partying, and flirting. Often all three.

He's a player off the ice as well as on it. Gorgeous, carefree, reckless. His one goal is to finally win Holt a championship, which he can only do if he keeps up his end of the tutoring arrangement. Hooking up with his tutor would be stupider than failing in the first place, even if the tutor in question wasn't his coach's daughter.

Rylan is determined to excel at Holt and make her fresh start a success. To finally have some fun, and not with a hockey player. Except, the more time they spend together, the harder it is to hold back.

But no matter how tempting giving in might be...the odds are stacked against them.
