Beyond the Lines: An enemies-to-lovers college hockey romance (Pine Barren University Book 1)

She had one rule for her freshman year: No hockey players .

Then she kissed the one guy she absolutely shouldn't have.

Lea Altman arrives at Pine Barren University determined to keep her life simple. She'll focus on her art and avoid distractions—especially the cocky hockey boys who hang around with her overprotective brother.

So when one reckless night at a frat party ends with a kiss she can't stop replaying, it should have been a one-time mistake.

It wasn't—because Declan Andrews isn't the sort of guy you can easily forget. He's Pine Barren's star forward, the kind of guy who draws eyes without trying, and he's hiding a secret.

Lea doesn't know he's also her brother's best friend.

Declan doesn't plan on telling her.

When the truth comes out, attraction turns to animosity fast. But a semester-long project forces them together, and the spark between them refuses to die. Every look lingers. Every touch feels loaded. And resisting their urges becomes impossible.

Falling for the wrong guy is risky—but falling for your brother's best friend and teammate could ruin everything.

Beyond the Lines is a college hockey romance about breaking your own rules, risking everything for the right person, and discovering that sometimes the most forbidden love is the one worth fighting for.

Inside you'll find:

Brother's best friend (he'll kill us both!) Enemies-to-lovers (oh so spiteful... oh so sexy...!) Forced proximity (thanks, Professor Lucas!) Secret hookups (have you tried hiding when you're the hockey captain's sister?!) First in series (but read as standalone!) Steamy 'open door' spice level Happily-ever-after and no cliffhangers
If you love the college hockey heat from Elle Kennedy, Rebecca Jenshak, and S.J. Sylvis, or the steamy puck drama of Kenna King, Chelsea Curto, and Helena Hunting — this is your next binge.
