The Play - Elle Kennedy

n nWhat I learned after last year's distractions cost my hockey team our entire season? No more screwing up. No more screwing, period.

As the new team captain, I need a new philosophy: hockey and school now, women later. Which means that I, Hunter Davenport, am officially going celibate...no matter how hard that makes things. n n But there's nothing in the rulebook that says I can't be friends with a woman.

And I won't lie--my new classmate Demi Davis is one cool chick. Her smart mouth is hot as hell, and so is the rest of her, but the fact that she's got a boyfriend eliminates the temptation to touch her. n n Except three months into our friendship, Demi is single and looking for a rebound.

n n And she's making a play for me. n n Avoiding her is impossible. We're paired up on a yearlong school project, but I'm confident I can resist her.

We'd never work, anyway. Our backgrounds are too different, our goals aren't aligned, and her parents hate my guts. n n Hooking up is a very bad idea.

Now I just have to convince my body--and my heart.n
