Collide

In this contemporary sports romance, Summer Preston, a highly driven sports psychology student, faces a major hurdle in her quest to enter a prestigious graduate program: her professor has issued an ultimatum that requires her to engage directly with the very sport she loathes—hockey. Her reluctant path leads her to Aiden Crawford, the charismatic and confident captain of the college hockey team. Forced together by academic necessity when Aiden is required to participate in her research project to avoid disciplinary action, the two initially clash due to their opposing personalities and Summer’s deep-seated prejudice against the sport. As they are compelled to spend significant time together, the narrative shifts from their initial hostility to a simmering, complex attraction. The story explores the friction between Summer’s rigid, long-term life plans and the unpredictable nature of Aiden’s professional athletic career. Beyond the romantic tension, the book delves into themes of personal growth, the struggle to reconcile past traumas, and the difficult choices faced when navigating the transition into adulthood. It is a compelling study of how two individuals from vastly different worlds can challenge each other’s assumptions, ultimately finding common ground amidst the high stakes of their collegiate ambitions and future uncertainties.
