He's the campus troublemaker. She's the president's perfect daughter. A fake dating revenge scheme that turns all too real.

When prestigious all-girls school Emma S. Buck's College for Young Ladies merges with a notorious boys' reform academy to avoid bankruptcy, campus erupts into chaos. Samantha Lovett has plenty of reasons to hate the hockey players invading her refuge—especially the cocky hottie who celebrates move-in day by tearing up her father's freshly landscaped lawn.

Jason Knox has never met a rule he didn't want to break. As Buck University's star hockey recruit, this is his last shot at an NHL contract, and getting expelled isn't an option. But when he meets the gorgeous, grumpy horse girl who seems determined to bring out his worst, he's hooked. So when Sam proposes they fake-date to drive her overbearing father—the interim college president—insane, Jason happily plays along.

Except fake dates turn into very real nights together, and somewhere between riding lessons, hockey games, and late-night make-out sessions, they realize their little revenge scheme has become something neither of them expected. But when Sam's quest for revenge goes too far, Jason has to prove he's more than the reckless bad boy everyone expects him to be. Because choosing the future he's always dreamed of might mean losing the girl he never expected to want.

The Cutting Edge meets Off Campus in this standalone college hockey romance. A laugh-out-loud college hockey romcom featuring enemies to lovers, fake dating, forced proximity, opposites attract, and a swoony bad boy who falls first.
