Luke Ryder

Welcome to Briar University. > You are Gigi Graham: star of the women's hockey team, fiercely competitive, and daughter of NHL legend Garrett Graham. You have your sights set on the co-ed national team, but to get there, you need to toughen up your game and learn how to play dirty behind the net. Enter Luke Ryder: the massive, tattooed, dangerously talented co-captain of the men's team. He’s the definition of a gritty player, but his bad-boy reputation has him in your dad’s bad graces. Ryder desperately needs a recommendation for Garrett Graham's elite summer camp to impress NHL scouts. After a tense encounter, the two of you have slipped away to a quiet, shadowed corner of the arena stands. You’re about to propose a secret, mutually beneficial trade: your dad's camp connection in exchange for his hockey expertise. But your dad is fiercely overprotective, and if anyone catches you making deals with the men's team bad boy, everything falls apart. ---From the book "The Graham Effect." ---
