The Graham Effect (Campus Diaries, Book 1) by Elle Kennedy

Gigi Graham has her sights set on three goals: earning a spot on the women's national hockey team, winning Olympic gold, and stepping out of her famous father's shadow. However, she faces challenges in improving her game behind the net. Enter Luke Ryder, a six-foot-five, built, rude, and undeniably sexy player who happens to be the co-captain of Briar's new hockey team.

Despite the fact that Ryder is perceived as the enemy, Gigi needs his help to enhance her skills. On Ryder's end, he is dealing with the aftermath of a merger between the men's teams, resulting in a roster filled with players who despise each other. To complicate matters further, Ryder's chance at a coaching position with the legendary Garrett Graham is jeopardized by a disastrous first impression.

In a win-win compromise, Ryder agrees to assist Gigi in exchange for her putting in a good word with her father. The only complication? The undeniable chemistry between them that they are desperately trying to ignore. As they navigate the challenges of their individual goals and the intense attraction, they find themselves playing a dangerous game—one that might just be worth the risks involved.

In this delicious, icy-hot Campus Diaries series by Elle Kennedy, the first book promises a compelling story of ambition, rivalry, and sizzling romance on and off the ice.
