Description
College freshman Mara Daniels has one rule: keep feelings out of it. Sex is her coping mechanism and solitude is home, especially with a mother who weaponizes attention and chaos. Star freshman hockey phenom Cruz Styles looks easygoing from the stands, but off the ice he’s all responsibility—school, his mom, and his little sister Titi, whose life changed after a devastating accident. What starts as friends-with-benefits turns into something neither can ignore as parties, team politics, and one predatory frat star shove them into the light. A smear campaign, a brutal assault, and a viral blog force Mara and Cruz to choose between their old shields and a future together. Hockey With Benefits is a raw, fast-paced campus romance about boundaries, found family, and the moment love stops being scary and starts being home.
