Dean Di Laurentis has always been known for two things: being Briar University’s star defenseman and being the biggest flirt on campus. He’s confident, charming, and completely convinced he knows exactly what he wants. For years, Dean has had one impossible obsession—professional women’s hockey superstar Y/N Reyes. He knows her stats, her playing style, her legendary shots, and has no problem reminding everyone that she’s his “future wife.” The only problem? She’s a celebrity he’ll probably never meet. Then a mysterious international exchange student moves into the house next door. She’s sarcastic, competitive, completely unimpressed by his charm, and somehow the only person on campus who doesn’t fall for the Dean Di Laurentis effect. What Dean doesn’t know is that his new neighbor is actually the same woman he’s been obsessing over for years. Now two elite hockey players are living side-by-side, trading insults, late-night conversations, and undeniable chemistry—while Dean unknowingly falls for the woman behind the legend. The only question is… what happens when the biggest hockey fan at Briar University realizes his dream girl was right next door the entire time?
