Brenna Jensen has never been afraid to challenge expectations. But there's one line she's determined never to cross: falling for a player from a rival hockey team. As the daughter of Briar University's head hockey coach, she knows exactly how complicated that would become.
Jake Connelly, Harvard's star forward, is talented, confident, and impossible to ignore. When Brenna needs his help to secure a highly competitive internship, Jake agrees, but only on one condition: every fake date must be followed by a real one.
What begins as a mutually beneficial arrangement soon turns into something neither of them anticipated. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to separate their pretend relationship from the very real feelings growing between them.
Keeping their relationship a secret isn't easy. With family expectations, fierce team rivalries, and their futures on the line, Brenna and Jake must decide whether love is worth risking everything they've worked for.
The Risk continues the Briar U series with Elle Kennedy's signature blend of humour, romance, and emotional depth. Perfect for readers who love new adult romance, college romance, fake dating, sports romance, opposites attract, and hockey romance.
