The Play

In **The Play by Elle Kennedy**, a spicy college romance meets campus sports drama as hockey captain Hunter Davenport tries to keep his life (and season) on track by swearing off distractions. Readers will love the push-pull tension, the sharp banter, and the way friendship starts to feel like something much riskier.

Hunter’s new plan is simple: hockey and study first, women later. Then he clicks with Demi Davis, a whip-smart classmate who’s easy to talk to and impossible to ignore. When Demi’s relationship ends and a rebound is on the cards, their casual closeness turns complicated fast—especially with a year-long uni project forcing them together, and their very different worlds tugging them in opposite directions.

Perfect for fans of **new adult romance**, **sports romance**, **college settings**, and **friends-to-lovers** chemistry with real emotional stakes.
