She&’s caught between conflicting desires of fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a sport psychologist and staying as far away as possible from the god-awful sport. And once she meets Aiden—well, let&’s just say he confirms all her worst assumptions about hockey players. Being the captain of the college hockey team has its perks, except when a reckless mistake by Aiden&’s team threatens to jeopardize their entire season. As punishment, Aiden&’s coach nominates him as the subject of a student research project. Participating is the last thing he wants to do, especially since the girl leading the project looks like she could wield his skates as a weapon.Summer can&’t stand Aiden&’s blasé approach to life, and Aiden doesn&’t understand why she&’s twenty years old with a twenty-five-year plan. But their bickering soon turns to bantering—and once they let their guards down, there&’s nothing to check their feelings.
