The Score By: Elle Kennedy
Dean Di-Laurentis has it all—looks, charm, money, and a reputation as Briar University’s ultimate playboy. His life is a revolving door of women, hockey, and parties. Serious relationships? Not his style. But when he crosses paths with Allie Hayes, his best friend’s ex and the last person he should be getting involved with, everything changes.
Allie is reeling from a messy breakup and swears she’s done with men for a while. The last thing she wants is to fall into bed with Dean—yet somehow, that’s exactly what happens. What was supposed to be a one-night rebound turns into something neither of them can walk away from.
As their fling grows into a full-blown secret relationship, Allie discovers there’s more to Dean than his cocky exterior. And Dean, for the first time in his life, starts to see that love isn’t a weakness—it’s the one thing that might save him. But when tragedy strikes, both of them will be forced to figure out if what they have is strong enough to last beyond Briar.
