Love Contract with the Hockey Captain

The whole school knows hockey captain Nate Archer is untouchable—a wild wind that never stops for anyone. But when a failing grade threatens his career, he’s forced to ask the quiet media-studies queen, Scarlett Jones, for help. Their deal is absurd: she tutors him, and in return, he’ll fake-date her to get her crush’s attention. He thinks he’s in control of the game, but he’s the one who falls for real, becoming fiercely jealous and protective. Yet, when his pride is on the line, he publicly denies her, calling her a "bookworm" and shattering everything they built. He pushed her away, creating his own personal hell. Now, on an empty ice rink, the once-arrogant captain can only hold her hand, his voice trembling like a lost child as he begs for a second chance.
