Cold. Arrogant. And a force to be reckoned with on the ice.\nEveryone on campus knows Nash Richards for trash-talking, instigating fights, and demolishing his opponents. I know him as the guy who cross-checked my heart into the boards and skated out of my life without looking back.\nAfter successfully avoiding him and his hockey games for more than two years, I only have one more left until graduation. But when fate conspires against me, Nash becomes my client for my athletic training internship, and I’m forced to work closely with the only guy I've ever loved.\nMy plan is straightforward—focus on the placement. Problem is, Nash is determined to win me back. It doesn’t help that he’s seventy-six inches and two hundred and twenty pounds of hotness, and the only man who’s ever been able to get my engine revving.\nOne moment of weakness turns me into an addict in the midst of a relapse. That is, until I learn Nash’s dark secrets. Keeping them could cost us both everything. But telling anyone would mean betraying Nash in a way he could never forgive...\nFraternizing with the athletes is strictly forbidden, but my heart doesn’t care about the rules.\n*\nTHE ENFORCER is Book 1 of the Lakeside University Hockey series, a series of college hockey romances centering around four roommates. Each of the books can be read as a standalone novel.\nTropes: Second chance; grumpy x sunshine; hates everyone but her; jealous/overprotective hero; touch her and you'll die vibes; damaged hero.\nNote: This plot contains some heavy themes, and Nash is not a goofy, nice-guy type of hero. If you like wounded, broody athletes who are obsessed with the heroine, this is the book for you.
