A novel by

HE’S THE GOLDEN BOY ON THIN ICE. I’M THE STATISTICIAN PREDICTING HIS CRASH.

Law Jensen is a walking contradiction.

To the campus, he’s the God of the Ice. Captain of the Crestview Kodiaks. The NHL’s most anticipated draft pick.
To me? He’s a statistical anomaly. An arrogant, reckless variable that I can’t control.
I have one goal: Secure my internship with the NHL and get the hell out of Thunder Bay.
But when the Captain fails his midterms, my boss gives me an ultimatum: Tutor the star player, or lose my scholarship.

Rachel Sterling is a headache in a hoodie.
She treats me like a math problem she can’t solve and looks at me like I’m a bug on her windshield.
I should hate her. She’s cold, she’s critical, and she sees right through the "Golden Boy" mask to the broken mess underneath.
But when a blizzard traps us in a remote cabin for forty-eight hours, the ice between us doesn''t just melt. It evaporates.
Suddenly, she’s not analyzing my stats. She’s unraveling me.
And I’m finding out that behind those glasses and that sharp tongue, she likes to be praised. She likes to be held. She likes to lose control.

We made a deal: N = 2. Just us. No secrets.
But I have a secret that could ruin my draft stock. And she has a secret that could ruin my team.
The data says we’re a catastrophe waiting to happen.
But I’ve never been good at math.

HE’S A BILLIONAIRE GOALIE WHO TREATS LOVE LIKE A TRANSACTION. I’M THE POOR STUDENT AUDITING HIS FATHER’S COMPANY. THIS ISN’T A MATCH. IT’S A HOSTILE TAKEOVER.

James Sterling-Vane.

They call him "The Wall." The untouchable, icy heir to the Vane Global empire and the NHL’s most coveted draft pick. He doesn't do feelings. He does statistics, shutouts, and silence. To him, people are just assets or liabilities.
And after I accidentally threw a shrimp cocktail at his face during a charity gala, he decided I’m the biggest liability of all.
I hate him. I hate his money, his arrogance, and the way he looks at me like I’m a rounding error.
But when a scandal threatens his draft stock, he offers me a deal I can’t refuse:
Be his fake fiancée for three months to clean up his image.
In exchange? He pays for my mother’s life-saving surgery.
I signed the contract. I moved into his cold, white penthouse. I promised not to fall for the enemy.
I just didn't account for one variable: James Vane doesn't lose.

Patricia O’Connell.
She’s chaotic, red-headed trouble in combat boots. She’s a forensic accounting major who can smell a lie like cheap cologne.
I hired her to be a shield. I didn't expect her to be a weapon.
She’s investigating my father’s company in secret. She argues with me about economics in her sleep. And when she wears my jersey, I forget every rule in the playbook.
We were supposed to be fake. But when we’re alone in the dark, the way I touch her feels dangerously real.
Now, my father is threatening to destroy her if I don't cut her loose.
I have to make a choice: The legacy I was born for... or the woman who taught me that love isn't something you can buy.
