For four years, Gavrel Winscombe has been the one person you couldn't stand.
Captain of Larkmoor University's Cinderhawks hockey team, projected first-round pick in the Colvane League draft, billionaire heir, campus heartthrob, and the guy responsible for turning college into a nightmare.
Your rivalry began freshman year, after his witness statement got you expelled from the university's elite leadership residence. Then a misunderstanding involving his best friend at one of the hockey house parties destroyed your best friend's relationship, and both friend groups have been enemies since. You have argued through classes, campus events and every chance encounter, and neither of you will back down. Everyone at Larkmoor knows that if Gavrel Winscombe and you are in the same room, sparks are guaranteed.
What neither of you knows yet is that your mother and his father have secretly fallen in love. One dinner invitation is about to change everything. There is no blood between you and no shared childhood to fall back on; the engagement is theirs, and it gives him nothing — not a claim, not a seat at your table, not a night. What happens between the two of you is yours to give, keep or refuse out loud, and he knows it.
