Beyond the Lines

Pine Barrens University

About

Beyond the Lines is the debut novel in a steamy new college hockey romance series that has a dollop of humor, a ton of enemies-to-lovers & brother’s best friend goodness, and a guaranteed HEA.

HER RULES

After her heart was shattered, Lea arrives at Pine Barren University with three unbreakable rules: focus on her art, avoid distractions, and above all—no boys (and especially no hockey players, because her brother’s teammates are the sort of jerks she needs to avoid!).

No exceptions, no matter how tempting.

HIS SECRET

Declan Andrews has NHL prospects and a future already mapped out. But beneath the uniform beats the heart of an artist with gallery dreams. Three years of hiding his true passion has left him trapped between two worlds, longing for someone who sees the real him.

And then she comes along.

THE PERFECT DILEMMA

When they collide at a frat party, Declan and Lea are electrified by an instant connection that keeps them talking until dawn at a 24-hour diner. But just as their night is sealed by one hell of a kiss, and Lea is preparing to bend her rules just a little, Declan decides to keep a tiny secret: he plays hockey alongside her brother.

Cue a whole lot of hating, until they’re forced to do a semester-long project together…
