When Summer Preston's professor issues her with an ultimatum, she finds herself on an unexpected collision course with hockey captain Aiden Crawford.  
  
Summer hates everything about hockey, for good reason, but she isn't going to let that stand in the way of her becoming a sports psychologist.  
  
Aiden loves being the hockey captain, except when his team's reckless mistakes risk jeopardising their entire season. When Coach puts him forward for a research paper as punishment, he has no choice but to accept.  
  
Summer can't stand his blasé approach to life, and Aiden doesn't understand her uptight, scheduled one. They are off to a rocky start, and provoking each other - it turns out - is what they do best.  
  
As sparks fly, neither wants to be the one to give in. Can they get everything they want - including each other?  
  
Now with a never-before-seen bonus scene from Summer and Aiden's love story as well as an extract from _Spiral,_ the next book in the Off the Ice series. Find out which of your favourite characters from _Collide_ will be featured next!
