Why we recommend it
A dark hockey romance for readers who like their athletes ruthless and their tension brutal. Expect a possessive, brooding hero who plays as hard off the ice as on it, a heroine caught in his orbit, and a slow grind from animosity to obsession. Gritty, high-heat and unapologetically intense, it delivers the alpha-jock fantasy with a sharp, dangerous edge and plenty of simmering hostility.
