My Rival Captain (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798245743622)

When your fiercest rival becomes the only person who really sees you...how do you go back to playing for opposite teams?

Dylan Hayes lives and dies for Northcross University Frost hockey. As senior captain, his job is simple: win games, keep the room steady, and hate Hartwell's golden-girl captain with his whole, competitive heart. Kayla Ortiz stole last year's championship, lives rent-free in his nightmares, and smiles like she knows it.

Kayla doesn't have the luxury of enemies. As Hartwell Titans captain, every booster, scout, and reporter expects perfection. She blocks shots on a bad knee, eats pressure for breakfast, and carries her entire program on her shoulders. Rivalries make great headlines. Feelings do not.

Then a mandatory captains' conference weekend goes sideways: a hotel glitch, one room double-booked, and a late-night argument that slams both of them against the same doorframe. One furious, blistering kiss turns into a night neither of them can write off as a fluke...no matter how hard they swear it was a "conference mistake."

Now their seasons are a minefield. On the ice, they're still enemies: trading hits, chirps, and highlight-reel plays with scouts watching. Off the ice, neutral-site tournaments and late-night calls pull them closer into a secret that could blow up both teams if it gets out. Locker-room glares turn into hotel-room hands under shirts. Video review turns into real talk about fear, burnout, and what happens if the pro dreams don't land.

When an ugly loss, a viral photo, and a brutal injury put both of their futures on the line, Dylan and Kayla have to decide what they're really playing for: banners and clean narratives...or the one person who understands every scar the game has left on their hearts.

If you love rivals-to-lovers steam, enemies who can't stop choosing each other, and college hockey romance with real emotion and real spice, My Rival Captain will keep you up way past midnight, screaming at the scoreboard and swooning for a HEA that's worth every penalty.
