The Exception: A College Hockey Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798199774895)

He's a Swedish hockey star with a draft pick on the line. She's a pre-med disaster with a one-way ticket to medical school. Neither of them has time for this.

Briar Monroe doesn't date hockey players. She especially doesn't date her brother's teammates. And she absolutely doesn't date the six-foot-three Swedish heartthrob who moved into her spare room uninvited, walks around her kitchen shirtless at 6 a.m., and has opinions about her eating frosting straight from the jar.

Landon Eriksson didn't come to America for fun. His little sister is desperately ill, and the NHL contract he's chasing could pay for the treatment that might save her life. Failure isn't an option.

He doesn't have time for a girlfriend, a distraction, or a smart-mouthed roommate who refuses to back down.
So when their chemistry finally explodes, the rules are simple: no strings, no feelings, no future. They're both leaving after graduation anyway - him to the NHL, her to a surgical fellowship a thousand miles away.

It was supposed to be casual.

It was supposed to be temporary.

It was supposed to mean nothing.

But nobody told their hearts.

An enemies-with-benefits, forced proximity, brother's-best-friend hockey romance you won't be able to put down.
