Despite my last name being Kingsley, I had to work hard for my crown. I’m a gifted hockey player but earning a spot on the Hannaford U hockey team took more than talent. When it comes to dating, that’s a different story. I’ve always had it easy. There’s never been a girl I couldn’t win over. Until I met Gia Mancini, a goddess among mortals—not only did my charms not work on her, she friend-zoned me. But our story isn’t over yet. She messed up, and the only way she can fix her mistake is by agreeing to fake date me. Now the game is on, and I’m not opposed to playing it dirty.

I might be a hothead on the ice, but outside the arena, I’m an easygoing guy. There are only a few people I can’t stand, and Blair Westwood is one of them. From the moment we met, I knew she was an entitled brat who thought she could get her way because of who her father was. Everything changes when an injury gets me benched, and I end up going on a school trip with her. She sees me at my worst, but instead of using it to her advantage, she helps me. Now I can’t get her out of my head. It’s driving me insane. This isn’t just hate turning into lust—it feels like so much more. But even if we can get past our differences, there are dark secrets lurking in the shadows, ready to tear us apart. That won’t stop me though. I want Blair—the former bane of my existence—and I never quit when things get hard.

When I joined the Warriors hockey team, I thought school and hockey would be what kept me the most busy during freshman year. I didn’t expect to meet the most incredible girl at my first big college party. Nor did I expect the hot, wild night we had. But it turned out I had already met the gorgeous pink-haired girl. In fact, I had known her for a long time and we hated each other. She was furious when she discovered my identity and vowed never to come near me again. My reaction was a little different. I wanted more. Now, I have to convince the girl I spent years antagonizing that we belong together, even if wanting her is so very, very wrong.
