If you are obsessed with Off Campus, then you will love Embrace!

'Vulnerable, swoony and brimming with unforgettable moments' Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception

He's the star hockey player. She's the coach's daughter. Will they embrace their chemistry?


All Scarlett Kilner wants for her senior year is to overcome her bad reputation and make her father proud. But when Kian Ishida – one of her dad’s star hockey players – joins her study group, things get complicated.

Kian is all about parties, hockey and living in the moment. But when he realises he’s headed to the National Hockey League without his degree – his late dad’s one wish for him – he’s determined to turn things around.

As Scarlett helps Kian, their study sessions turn into a connection neither of them expected. Kian has to decide what’s more important: the dream he’s worked for his whole life or the girl he never saw coming.

Bal is a Canadian writer, romance enthusiast, and book lover. Before she decided to jump into the romance pool, she spent her time gushing about books on social media. When inspiration strikes, she is found filling her notes app with ideas for romance novels. Like many of her characters, Bal has been woven into the fabric of two cultures and finds herself creating characters that represent the beauty of both. Whether it's through language, a box of her favourite sweets, or a cup of chai, we can find hints of her South Asian roots throughout her writing. She loves reading about love, watching movies about love, and now, writing about it herself. There really isn’t much else that gets her heart fluttering the way HEAs do. She fell in love with writing and hopes to continue living out her romance author dreams.
