title: The Play
author: Kennedy, Elle
description: A brand-new standalone novel in the
  New York Times
   bestselling Briar U series!
  What I learned after last year’s distractions cost my hockey team our entire season? No more screwing up.  No more screwing, period. As the new team captain, I need a new philosophy: hockey and school now, women later. Which means that I, Hunter Davenport, am officially going celibate…no matter how hard that makes things.
  But there’s nothing in the rulebook that says I can’t be
  friends
   with a woman. And I won’t lie—my new classmate Demi Davis is one cool chick. Her smart mouth is hot as hell, and so is the rest of her, but the fact that she’s got a boyfriend eliminates the temptation to touch her.
  Except three months into our friendship, Demi is single and looking for a rebound.
  And she’s making a play for me.
  Avoiding her is impossible. We’re paired up on a yearlong school project, but I’m confident I can resist her. We’d never work, anyway. Our backgrounds are too different, our goals aren’t aligned, and her parents hate my guts.
  Hooking up is a very bad idea. Now I just have to convince my body—and my heart.
