Elle Kennedy

A player off the market. A forbidden attraction. A friendship that's about to break every rule.

Hockey captain Hunter Davenport is done with distractions. After a disastrous season, he's going clean—no hookups, no flirting, no exceptions. Until Demi Davis walks into his world. She's brilliant, biting, beautiful…and completely off-limits.

They're supposed to be just friends. After all, she has a boyfriend, and he's committed to celibacy. But when sparks fly and circumstances shift, the lines between good intentions and irresistible chemistry blur fast. Staying away should be easy. It isn't.

From the New York Times bestselling author of the bestselling Off-Campus series, The Play delivers an emotional, laugh-out-loud, slow-burn romance set in the world of college hockey. For fans of steamy opposites-attract stories and friends-to-lovers tension, this is your next can't-miss read.
