All's fair in love and hockey

Skating the line between love and hockey, these college athletes are about to learn that winning off the ice is way harder than anything they face in the rink.

Welcome back to Clark Fork University for your next semester. Get ready for Campus Rival!

BLURB

Hating Drew Dumontier is in my DNA. He’s the star defenseman for CFU hockey, a golden boy with a lethal smirk, and the undisputed bane of my existence. Our families have been at war for seventy years, and nothing will stop me from winning.

Our family feud is legendary on campus…and so are the pranks we pull on each other.

Turns out the universe has a twisted sense of humor. Not only are we forced together as partners on a psychology project worth half our final grade, but a baby is left on his doorstep with a note claiming he’s the father.

Watching the arrogant hockey star transform into a devoted single dad is a complication I never saw coming. As the nights get longer and the tension between us reaches a breaking point, the hatred I’ve nourished for years begins to feel a lot like desire.

But it’s the way he protects his daughter and supports my dreams that changes everything. He’s no longer just the enemy; he’s the person who makes me want to break the cycle once and for all.

He tells me he’s choosing me over our families. He says he loves me more than the grudge. But trust is a dangerous thing for a Tinsley to give a Dumontier.

Especially when a secret is revealed that makes me wonder if I was just a pawn in a locker room game all along.

Campus Rival is a steamy enemies to lovers college hockey romance. If you love feuding families, banter, combustible tension, and a college athlete and his roommates turning into big softies for his baby daughter, then you won’t want to miss this one. It’s book 2 in the CFU Hockey series, but can be read as a standalone.

I love writing heartfelt stories with relatable characters and a guaranteed happily ever after. Thanks for checking out my books!
