The Deal with My Hockey Rival
A prestigious internship, a hockey star, and one complicated deal.

Welcome to Ridgefield University, where the hockey team is treated like royalty and star player Bruce Brooks is the undisputed king. But Abigail Foster is immune to the hype. Overworked, financially stressed, and desperate to secure a highly competitive sports communications internship, Abigail views the campus obsession with the Ridgefield Wolves as nothing more than carefully constructed promotional noise. She needs a standout portfolio project to change her future—one that proves she can navigate institutional messaging and produce real, hard-hitting journalism. There is no bigger subject on campus than Bruce. To get the access she needs, Abigail must dive headfirst into the hockey program. She is determined to look past the slow-motion highlight reels to uncover the truth behind the university’s favorite son. But getting close to the idolized star will challenge everything she believes about fame, credibility, and the man behind the carefully edited mask.
