Brooding. Grumpy. Loyal. And silently in love with his best friend's little sister since they were kids.

Dash Bridges has two rules at Covey U: protect Madison Bright, and never, ever touch her. One is easy — he's a goalie. Hiding behind a mask is literally his job. The other one just walked into The Draft in a black dress that's going to end him.

Madison has spent years watching Dash shut down every guy who tries to get close to her — all in her brother's name. But when a campus speed-dating night puts her at his table, she's done waiting for him to make a move. If he won't cross the line, she will.

One night. One vow. One goalie who's about to break every rule he's ever made for himself.

The Draft is a full standalone with an HEA. No cliffhanger. Each Covey Crushers book follows a different couple in the same college-hockey world — start anywhere.
