The Deal follows Hannah Wells, a focused college student crushing on a classmate, and Garrett Graham, the star of the university hockey team who needs help to keep his grades up. The two strike a bargain: Hannah will tutor Garrett, and in exchange he’ll help her get noticed by the guy she likes by pretending to date her.
Naturally, their arrangement doesn’t stay strictly business. As Hannah and Garrett spend more time together, real chemistry takes over. The first book in Kennedy’s Off-Campus series, it’s a witty, spicy fake-dating romance with plenty of banter and heart.
