Description

Allie Hayes is trying to figure out her future.

With graduation approaching and a recent breakup leaving her heart bruised, the last thing she needs is another complication. A fun distraction? Maybe. A serious relationship? Absolutely not.

Then she ends up spending one unforgettable night with Dean Di Laurentis.

Which would be fine if Dean weren't Briar University's most notorious playboy.

Rich, charming, confident, and used to getting exactly what he wants, Dean has never had trouble attracting women. Relationships aren't really his thing, and neither are emotional attachments.

Until Allie.

What begins as a casual hookup quickly becomes something much harder for Dean to walk away from. For the first time in his life, he meets someone who makes him want more than one night.

The problem?

Allie isn't interested in becoming another name on his long list of conquests.

Now Dean has to prove that beneath the jokes, confidence, and reputation is a man capable of real love. And as unexpected challenges begin changing both of their lives, he starts realizing that some things matter more than scoring on the ice—or off it.

Funny, heartfelt, and packed with chemistry, The Score is one of the most beloved books in the Off-Campus series, featuring a fan-favorite hero whose journey from playboy to devoted partner has made him a BookTok favorite.
