He's the captain everyone expects to go pro. She's the filmmaker who refuses to be impressed. When a PR disaster forces them together, neither expects to fall—but some penalties are worth taking.

Callum Matsuda has his future mapped out: lead Riverside University's hockey team to a championship, get drafted to the NHL, and maintain the perfect image scouts demand. What he doesn't need is a viral video showing his temper, threatening everything he's worked for. The solution? A semester-long documentary showing the "real" Cal—mature, well-rounded, draft-worthy.

The problem? His assigned filmmaker sees right through him.

Iris Chen is supposed to be focused on law school applications, not babysitting an arrogant hockey captain for a sports journalism credit. She knows nothing about hockey and cares even less—until she meets Cal and realizes the gorgeous, guarded athlete is nothing like the jock who shattered her heart last year. He's complicated, driven, and frustratingly easy to talk to.
