Summer Di Laurentis is confident, outgoing, and used to living life on her own terms. Colin Fitzgerald is a quiet, tattooed hockey player who would rather spend his evenings gaming than being the centre of attention. They have almost nothing in common, except that they suddenly find themselves living under the same roof.
From the moment they meet, sparks fly. Colin is convinced Summer is spoiled and superficial, while Summer has no intention of changing the mind of someone who judged her before getting to know her.
But sharing a home has a way of breaking down first impressions. As they spend more time together, their assumptions begin to fade, replaced by a growing attraction that's impossible to ignore.
While Summer navigates a new university, academic challenges, and an uncertain future, she also finds herself questioning whether she's ready to risk her heart for someone she never expected to fall for.
The Chase launches the Briar U series, expanding the world of Elle Kennedy's bestselling Off-Campus novels with a fresh cast of characters while bringing readers back to the college setting they know and love. Filled with witty banter, sizzling chemistry, emotional depth, and plenty of humour, it's a perfect read for fans of new adult romance, college romance, roommates-to-lovers, opposites attract, and hockey romance.
