The Score
Synopsis
Dean Di Laurentis has everything going for him—money, looks, a spot on the Briar University hockey team, and a law-school future already mapped out. He coasts through life on charm and has never had to work for a woman's attention. Then he meets Allie Hayes, a theater major fresh off a bad breakup who sees straight through his act and wants nothing to do with him.
What begins as a no-strings arrangement to help Allie get over her ex becomes far more complicated as Dean discovers there is a person under the playboy reputation he has spent years cultivating—and that letting someone see it is terrifying. Allie, meanwhile, has to decide whether she can trust a guy everyone warned her about.
The third book in Elle Kennedy's Off-Campus series, The Score is a funny, steamy new-adult sports romance about first impressions, self-worth, and the difference between who people think you are and who you actually want to be.
