About the book

Of all the guys to walk in looking for a tutor, did it have to be Foster Kane?

I’ve avoided him like the plague since our one night together freshman year turned into the world’s most humiliating disaster—followed by the worst year of my life.

It wasn’t hard. I’m practically invisible on campus, while he’s the golden boy of the hockey team—popular, charming, and constantly surrounded by adoring fans.

But avoiding him stops being an option when I’m assigned to be his math tutor.

Now I’m stuck spending hours each week with the guy who once made me feel like nothing…and suddenly won’t stop looking at me like I mean something.

The only thing getting me through is Bear—my anonymous online friend. He’s kind. Funny. Safe. We met on a Stardew Valley server and clicked instantly. I’ve never even seen his face, but talking to him feels like breathing.

He’s the only guy I trust.

Which is why it hurts like hell when I find out he’s been lying to me.

Because Bear… is Foster.

And I don’t know if I can ever forgive him.

Campus Crush is a steamy college hockey romance with gaming banter, hidden identities, and a cinnamon roll hockey player who’s determined to do whatever it takes to earn a second chance. It is the first book in the CFU Hockey series.
