When Tahlia’s golden-boy hockey captain boyfriend betrays her and destroys her reputation with a vicious campus smear campaign, she refuses to go down quietly. She strikes a dangerous, tactical fake-dating deal with Ronan Rhodes—the ruthless captain of their fiercest rival university and the one man her ex loathes entirely. Between sold-out arenas, brutal on-ice rivalries, and intense media scrutiny, a petty turf war quickly blurs into a high-stakes, slow-burn romance where one wrong move could cost them everything.
