Hawthorne University series by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Boyfriend Bargain

Broke and desperate, Sugar Ryan has no use for arrogant, bad-boy athletes…until she’s forced to bargain with the cockiest of them all.

If only he knew she was alive.

Her mission? Get on this hockey player’s radar any way possible.

Zack Morgan is the king of the ice and the bedroom, but nothing prepares him for the mystery girl who shows up everywhere he does—frat parties, his favorite bar, and finally his front door with an offer he can’t refuse. The only rule in her boyfriend bargain: no falling in love.

But after one (um, two) smoking-hot hookups, he’s done with pretending and vows to make their fake relationship real. Too bad she can’t trust a player with a reputation for breaking hearts.

Will this hockey star score his forever girl, or will this boyfriend bargain end in heartbreak?

Boyfriend Material

Skyscraper cheekbones, lush lips, and topaz eyes.
I'm talking about Eric Hansen.
Rich prick.
Glorified hockey star.
Thinks he's amazing.
Yeah. The Golden Boy and I are well acquainted. In prep school he trampled on my heart and kept right on going. I hate him. He hates me.

Now, he's living the high life with frat parties and puck bunnies at Hawthorne University. On the other hand, people barely notice me. I'm the nobody, surviving in the seedy part of town as I struggle to keep my head above treacherous waters.

The avoidance game we've been playing on campus was working—until he rescues me from a bad guy and claims he wants to prove himself. Hello. I don't need a knight in shining armor. This girl saves herself.

Yet, he keeps showing up just when I need him, and I'm not sure how long I can ignore the undeniable spark between us. (It's not even a spark; it's a full-fledged blazing fire.)

Can Eric prove he's boyfriend material, or will this be a game we both lose?
