The Goal by Elle Kennedy

The novel follows Sabrina James, a fiercely ambitious, hard-working college senior who has her entire life meticulously planned out. Her goal is simple: graduate at the top of her class, get into Harvard Law School, and escape the ghost of her difficult childhood. She has absolutely zero time for distractions, relationships, or college boys.

Enter John Tucker, a sweet, deeply reliable, and quietly confident defenseman for the Briar University hockey team. Unlike his wildest teammates, Tucker is a southern gentleman who dreams of opening his own business after graduation. When a passionate, one-night stand between Sabrina and Tucker unexpectedly results in an unplanned pregnancy, both of their carefully mapped-out futures are thrown completely off course.
