Cocky. Gorgeous. Captain of the hockey team. And fully aware that practically every girl on campus wants him.

No feelings. No complications. Just a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Except Garrett isn’t used to being told no, and Hannah isn’t prepared for what happens when the campus hockey star starts showing her a side of himself nobody else gets to see.
