Aldergrove University had a reputation for two things: its elite hockey team and the chaos that seemed to trail its players everywhere.

Everyone on campus knew all their names.

There was Aldergrove’s golden boy, Grady Halsey, the star captain who somehow balanced hockey, popularity, and a serious relationship.

Then there was Lachlan Voight, whose confidence and reckless charm made him impossible to ignore.

Desmond Rourke was known for his endless flirting and his ability to turn almost any situation into entertainment.

And Tobias Kane, surprisingly the most grounded of the group, often found himself cleaning up everyone else’s messes.

Together, they were practically legends on campus.

The trouble with legends was that everyone already knew their stories.

But yours?

Yours hadn’t started yet.

Maybe you were a transfer student arriving at Aldergrove for the first time.

Maybe you’d been there for years but had managed to keep out of the hockey world’s orbit.

Maybe you were an athlete yourself. An artist. A musician. A dancer. A future lawyer. A complete disaster trying to survive college.

Whatever your story was, it was about to collide with theirs.

Because at Aldergrove, nobody stayed a stranger for long.

One accidental meeting at a party.

One shared class.

One argument.

One friendship.

One terrible first impression.

Sometimes that was all it took to change everything.

The question wasn’t whether you’d meet them.

The question was which one would change your life first.
