Walking in on the university’s six-foot-tall hockey captain wasn't on my schedule today. Walking in on him completely naked in the showers—and watching him grin like he'd planned it—was even worse.
Most guys would cover up. Not Carter Graham. He just flashed that insufferable smile and asked if I wanted a closer look.
He's rich, arrogant, and the one athlete I swore I’d never interact with. But now he needs a tutor to save his career... and he just realized I'm the girl from the shower.
Scrubbing the Briar hockey locker rooms at 1 AM was supposed to be easy money. But behind Carter's cocky smirk, he’s trapped. His abusive billionaire father threatens to pull his inheritance unless he settles down with a respectable girl, and a failing psychology grade means he’s one bad test away from getting benched right before NHL scouts arrive.
When Carter realizes I’m the only student on campus who aced the midterm, he corners me with an arrangement I can't afford to refuse:
1. Tutor him so he doesn't lose his NHL draft spot.
2. Play his devoted fake fiancée to fool his terrifying father.
In exchange? He wipes out my crushing tuition debt and acts as my insanely possessive fake boyfriend to help me catch the eye of the campus rockstar I’ve crushed on for years.
The terms were simple: strictly business, no feelings, no real touches. But as fake touches turn into real, dangerous obsession... who breaks first?
