The Risk Bet (Ridgeview University Hockey Romance #4)

A Ridgeview University Hockey Romance — Book 4Lena Brooks does not take risks.

She plans. She organizes. She color-codes disaster before it happens. And with Ridgeview hockey’s biggest fundraiser on the line, the last thing she needs is Carter Hayes anywhere near her carefully controlled event.

Carter is the team’s favorite troublemaker—charming, reckless, impossible to ignore, and allergic to taking anything seriously. He turns every room into a joke, every conversation into a dare, and every look from Lena into a challenge she definitely should not accept.

But when a volunteer crisis forces Lena and Carter to work together, the fundraiser becomes one long test of self-control.

Close quarters.Late nights.A speech neither of them expected to matter.A kiss behind a curtain that changes everything.

Lena knows Carter is a risk.Carter knows Lena is the one girl who sees past the jokes.And when their chemistry gets harder to hide, the safest thing would be to walk away before someone gets hurt.

Too bad Ridgeview hockey has never been good at safe.

Because the riskiest bet of all is pretending they can keep it professional.

The Risk Bet is a flirty college hockey romance with forced proximity, fundraiser chaos, sharp banter, found-family team energy, emotional tension, and a troublemaking hockey player who falls harder than he ever meant to.
