She had three rules. Never write a puff piece. Never miss a deadline. Never fall for a hockey player. She broke all three. When junior journalist Nora Calloway is assigned to profile Cole Wilder Hartwell University's golden-boy captain she expects a surface-level story about a surface-level athlete. What she gets is a man who is more complicated than she planned for, a photo that goes viral before either of them can stop it, and a deal that was supposed to be simple. Fake it until the season ends. Keep it professional. Do not catch feelings. Too late. The Penalty is a steamy college hockey romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, a fake dating arrangement that gets very real, and two people who are far better at their jobs than they are at their own hearts. Book One of the Ice & Ivy series.
