Bad Idea

After a year of being the dance program’s most notorious punching bag, Ivy Di Laurentis only has one goal for sophomore year at Briar University: keep her head down, survive, and make her way to New York and the ballet career she walked away from. She has zero interest in hockey players, entanglements, or AJ Connelly―her brother’s former best friend, certified golden boy, and the last person she’d ever expect to find her crying on a roof at two in the morning.

AJ has his own problems. His best friendships are in ruins, his hockey season is in turmoil, and his only plan is to drink through his feelings and hook up with anyone who isn’t emotionally complicated. Ivy, vulnerable and familiar, is nothing but emotionally complicated. Which means she’s off-limits.

Except she’s also funny. Sweet. Achingly beautiful. And obsessed with somebody else. When she propositions him to gain experience, he doesn’t know how to say no. And maybe there’s something dangerously satisfying about hooking up with his ex-best friend’s little sister…

What starts as an unlikely alliance becomes something neither of them was looking for. But with the wrong people watching, the wrong choices catching up to them, and the clock ticking on Ivy’s time at Briar U, this bad idea could be the end of them both.
