Ace Donovan is the Hockey golden boy—the hockey captain, campus favorite, and professional troublemaker. Everyone knows the reputation: parties, hookups, bad grades, and a smile that somehow gets him out of everything. Then Y/N becomes the one thing he can't charm his way through. With his eligibility on the line, Ace gets assigned a tutor who isn't impressed by the captain status, the popularity, or the carefully maintained reputation. What starts as forced study sessions quickly becomes a constant battle of sarcasm, teasing, frustration, and unexpected chemistry. Ace is used to people wanting his attention. Y/N is far more interested in making him earn hers. And for the first time, the guy everyone thinks they know has someone looking past the jersey, the parties, and the reputation.
