Ford Collins is my brother's best friend and Bexley U's favorite defender on the ice. Unfortunately, he feels the need to block much more than the puck.

Namely, ME and any chance I have with a guy.

Encouraged by my older brother, Ford has ruined every single date I've ever had. With his hot smirk and sly maneuvers, he has made it his mission to make me the most unattainable female college student in the world—that is, until I have a brush with death, and I beg him to help me.

After all, he owes me. And I've come to collect.

Determined to rid himself of the guilt, Ford promises to help me score a boyfriend—or two—and swears he won't interfere.

But the more time I spend learning from one of Bexley U's most desirable playboys, the more I start to question the real reason why he's been sabotaging my dates over the years.

With the lingering touches, heated stares, and sizzling chemistry between us, we both know we're playing with fire. What happens when our game of “practice” and Ford's spicy lessons become something real that we not only need to hide from my older brother, but from each other?
