At Briar University, hockey is everything—discipline, reputation, control. Garrett Graham thrives in that structure. He doesn’t get distracted, doesn’t lose focus, and definitely doesn’t let chaos into his carefully ordered life. Then Y/n Libre arrives like a problem no one warned him about. Loud, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore, Y/n doesn’t fit into Briar’s world—or its rules. She’s Grace’s childhood best friend, which means she’s already closer to the team than Garrett likes, and somehow always exactly where she shouldn’t be. What starts as annoyance turns into constant proximity, sharp words, and tension that neither of them knows how to name. And at Briar, where image matters and feelings are liabilities, Garrett and Y/n are about to learn that some distractions don’t stay distractions for long.
