She's about to make a deal with the college bad boy…

Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she's carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush's attention, she'll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice…even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.

…and it's going to be oh so good

All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he's worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he's all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn't take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn't going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

Romance veteran Elle Kennedy tackles the difficult subject of sexual assault with frank sensitivity. When college student Hannah Wells agrees to tutor star athlete Garrett Graham so he can keep his place on the hockey team, she doesn't bargain on developing feelings for him. Still reeling from the trauma of being raped at a high school party, Hannah struggles with trust and intimacy. We were touched by Garrett's tenderness with Hannah, and charmed by the couple’s shared humor. Poignant and beautifully written, The Deal remains uplifting even in its darkest moments.
