"Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women''s national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father''s shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine-a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder. Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude...and sexy as hell. But he''s still the enemy. Briar''s new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men''s team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another''s guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he''s angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad. The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they''re trying to ignore. It''s a dangerous game they''re playing, but the risks just might be worth it"--

It''s exhausting, really, always following the rules.

That means moving to the beachside town of Avalon Bay, a community made up of locals and the wealthy students of Garnet College. Mac''s had plenty of practice suppressing her wilder impulses, but when she meets local bad boy Cooper Hartley, that ability is suddenly tested. Cooper is rough around the edges. Raw. Candid. A threat to her ordered existence. Their friendship soon becomes the realest thing in her life. Despite his disdain for the trust-fund kids he sees coming and going from his town, Cooper soon realizes Mac isn''t just another rich clone and falls for her. Hard. But as Mac finally starts feeling accepted by Cooper and his friends, the secret he''s been keeping from her threatens the only place she''s ever felt at home.
