He was her brother's best friend.
She was the one girl he could never have.

Ava Bennett arrives at Hartwell University determined to focus on her psychology degree, make new friends, and stay away from distractions. Falling for Noah Walker was never part of the plan.

As captain of the university hockey team, Noah has spent years living by one unbreakable rule:

Never fall for your best friend's little sister.

But when a viral misunderstanding convinces the entire campus they're secretly dating, pretending to be the perfect couple suddenly seems easier than telling the truth.

The line between fake and real begins to blur with every stolen glance, lingering touch, and kiss meant only for the cameras.

Because pretending to be in love was always supposed to have an ending.

Falling in love didn't.
