I spent two years convincing myself what we had wasn't real-and the moment our eyes lock from across the room, all those lies I've been telling myself shatter at my feet.Hockey superstar Nash Richards was my first everything: my first boyfriend, my first time, and my first love. I used to attend every Lakeside U hockey game, proudly wearing his jersey while I cheered him on from the stands. Then he cross-checked my heart into the boards, and I vowed never to set foot in that arena again.Now, life just slap-shot me in the face: a senior internship with Nash's team, and guess who I'm assigned to? I have to work one-on-one with Nash for an entire semester. Talk about a worst-case scenario.I know better than to fall for his charms a second time, especially with the department's no-dating rule between trainers and their athletes. But that's easier said than done when our old spark is now a raging inferno and he's hell-bent on winning me back.As Nash gradually breaks down my walls, he reveals a side of himself that's raw and more vulnerable than I've ever seen. Lines blur during late nights in the training room alone, a moment of weakness turning everything upside down. But beneath this newfound closeness, he's keeping a dark secret that could tear us apart-and in this high-stakes game of love, we're both risking more than just our hearts.The Lakeside University series by TikTok sensation Avery Keelan kicks off with The Enforcer, a spicy and unputdownable hockey romance!At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
