Dominik Mikulaschek: The Faceoff - A Look Before the Kickoff, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Mila Hart has one goal: finish her sports psychology internship at Lakebridge University, earn a glowing recommendation, and keep her head down.

But her first assignment throws her right into the spotlight-straight to the LBU Titans hockey program and directly into the orbit of Hunter Vale: campus golden boy, future draft pick, and the one person Mila never wanted to face again after he publicly humiliated her a year ago.

Hunter looks untouchable on the ice-confident, charming, always in control. Yet Mila sees the cracks no one else notices: split-second panic, breathless pressure, and dangerous moments he fights to hide. When a close call forces the truth into the open, they strike a secret deal: Mila helps Hunter stay steady under the relentless spotlight, and Hunter keeps her out of the team's PR chaos. Simple. Professional. Safe.

Until late-night sessions turn into something softer. Until an away trip and one too-small hotel room blur every boundary. Until one kiss changes the rules.

Then rumors explode-and a leak threatens to destroy everything: Mila's internship, Hunter's career, and the fragile trust they built in the dark. With the entire campus watching, they must decide what matters more-reputation, dreams... or the heartbeat they never meant to share.

The Faceoff - A Look Before the Kickoff is a thrilling college hockey romance packed with enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, secret vulnerability, high-stakes pressure, and a story-driven spice level with clear consent. Perfect for readers who love emotional New Adult sports romance, campus drama, and a hero who learns to accept help-and fight for love when it truly counts.
