The Chase (Briar U, #1)

At Briar U, the parties are wild, the hockey is brutal, and the slowest burns lead to the fiercest love stories.

Fashion student Summer Di Laurentis is used to turning heads. Beneath the sparkles and sarcasm, she's determined to prove she's more than just her image. A new school offers a fresh start—if she can survive the chaos of sharing a house with her brother's hockey teammates. Including the one guy who's immune to her charm.

Colin "Fitzy" Fitzgerald prefers quiet to drama, games to parties, and walls to vulnerability. But Summer gets under his skin. She's the opposite of everything he thought he wanted. Too loud. Too bold. Too tempting.

When forced proximity collides with undeniable chemistry, resisting their new roommate will be Summer and Fitzy's ultimate challenge.  

The first in New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy's beloved Briar U series, The Chase blends laugh-out-loud banter, emotional tension, and unforgettable slow-burn sizzle. Fans of The Deal, Icebreaker, and The Love Hypothesis will fall hard for this witty, addictive story of self-discovery, opposites clashing, and unexpected connection.

Join the millions of readers who've fallen for the Briar U boys—and the women who change their game.
