They belong to two completely different worlds…
After dedicating her entire life to figure skating, Rei Mitchell-Nagasaki is ready for a little bit of normal. And what’s more normal than attending college?
Zane West has had a rough life, but he’s found his way out of Ashton Heights and he isn’t about to lose it all when the demons of his past come knocking at the door.
… that are about to collide on the ice.
Rei has one semester to show her father that she can have it all—a normal life and making it to the Winter Games—but it’s not so easy when there is a broody hockey player standing in her way. Once heated arguments turn into sharing the rink and late-night kisses, neither of them will be able to resist the pull.
Will they manage to defy the odds or was their love doomed from the very beginning?
Kiss to Defy is a multicultural college sports romance, an interconnected standalone in the Blairwood University series by Anna B. Doe.
★★★★★ "Rei and Zane have a love story that could be written about in the stars. It's fiery and epic, beautiful and brilliantly bright. I could not recommend this book enough!!!" - Sarah, RetroGirlReads
“It has to be here somewhere…” I look left and right as I drive slowly through the college campus, searching for my dorm. For a relatively small university, Blairwood feels like a maze which would be so easy to get lost in.
My head is bobbing to the tune of the newest Demi Lovato song as I reach blindly for my coffee, the only thing that’s been keeping me awake since I landed in Boston, only to pack my things and drive to Blairwood straight after. But since my attention is on the road, instead of wrapping my fingers around the cup, I somehow manage to bump it, spilling the contents all over the console, myself and the floor.
“Shit.” I lean to the side to straighten the cup and salvage what little’s left inside, but when I look up, I see a guy in front of me. He turns his head toward me, our eyes meeting for a split second.
I suck in a breath and press the brake. My heart is beating a mile a minute, the pounding echoing in my ears as the car comes to an abrupt halt, making my body jolt forward.
Holy shit! I almost killed somebody.
My hands grip the steering wheel tightly as I try to force my breathing to calm down and keep the panic at bay. My right hand is sticky from the coffee, but I’m too stupefied to care.
I almost hit somebody. I think I’m going to be sick.
I lean forward, my forehead pressing against the steering wheel.
Get a grip, Rei. I inhale deeply, counting to three before I release the breath slowly. I repeat the process two more times until the ringing in my ears dies down. Unbuckling my seatbelt, I get out of the car.
“Hey, are yo—”
“Are you freaking insane?” The guy pushes from the hood of my car and glares at me. He’s tall, well over six feet. Which means he’s more than a foot taller than my five feet, his shadow falling over me.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to…”
“Run me over?” he finishes before I can. He folds his hands across his broad chest, an ink-covered bicep bulging beneath his black tee.
“Well, no.” I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. “I don’t make a habit of running people over.”
