The Ice Match by Trinity Lemm

If there’s one thing Dakota Darling hates— it’s men. There’s not a single man that she trusts, and she wholeheartedly believes their only purpose is to help reproduce. But if there’s one man she’d like to kill more than all the others, it’s Nicholas Crew. He encompasses everything that she hates: a big ego, a playboy personality, and a careless attitude.

Nicholas Crew loves women— besides Dakota Darling. She’s bratty and far too bold for his liking. As a committed NHL player and certified womanizer, Crew is used to girls falling at his feet, not getting angry at the sight of him.

So when a mishap with their apartment leases causes them to be forced to live together, along with their two best friends, a war is sure to break out. As they try to survive their new living arrangement, Crew’s only focus is to ensure the wicked witch doesn’t ruin every aspect of his life, whereas Kota’s main goal is to not end up in prison for murder.

With time, they realize that the only thing stronger than hatred may not be love after all— it might be lust. As the two draw closer, breaking the house-wide “no hooking up” rule may not be the only problem they have.

For a girl that doesn’t believe in vulnerability and a guy that doesn’t believe in commitment, these two might have met their match.
