HE’S THE NHL-BOUND CAPTAIN WHO HATES DISTRACTIONS. I’M THE CLUMSY EQUIPMENT MANAGER WHO JUST NEARLY NEUTERED HIM WITH A TAPE MEASURE.
RAY VANCE
I am a machine. I eat, sleep, and breathe hockey. I have a draft stock to protect and a family debt to pay. I don’t do parties. I don’t do feelings. And I definitely don't do relationships.
Then Pam Miller trips into my locker room.
She’s chaotic. She’s loud. She smells like vanilla cupcakes and trouble. She’s the equipment manager, which makes her off-limits.
She’s also the only person who sees the man behind the mask.
I should fire her. I should stay away.
But when I find out she’s never been touched?
The machine breaks. And the only thing I want to do is ruin her for anyone else.
PAM MILLER
I have a plan: Get my clinical hours, get my degree, and get out of Oakhaven.
Falling for the broody, terrifying, six-foot-four Captain of the Bruins was not on the syllabus.
Ray Vance is arrogant and cold... until he isn't. Until he’s dragging me into dark corners of the arena. Until he’s whispering "Good Girl" in my ear and making me forget my own name.
We have a deal: Secret tutoring in exchange for clinical observation.
But when the fake lessons turn into real nights in his bed, we’re skating on thin ice.
If we get caught, he loses the NHL. I lose my scholarship.
He says we can walk away at the end of the season.
But he’s playing to win, and I’m playing for keeps.
HE’S THE NHL’S FUTURE #1 PICK. I’M THE INTERN HIRED TO FIX HIS IMAGE. AND I JUST WALKED IN ON HIM NAKED IN THE LOCKER ROOM.
Justin Thorne is a machine. He’s the Captain of the North Haven Yetis, a defensive genius, and a control freak who treats his emotions like a weakness. He has one goal: The NHL Draft. He doesn’t do distractions. He doesn't do chaos. And he definitely doesn't do romance.
Until I trip over a duffel bag and fall into his life.
I’m Virginia O’Neil. Romance novel addict, stress-baker, and the Coach’s forbidden goddaughter. My job? Run the team’s social media and make the grumpy, ice-cold Captain look "likable" to the scouts.
It was supposed to be strictly professional.
Then came the blizzard.
Then came the late-night "strategy sessions" in the library.
Then came the moment he looked at me in the mirror and told me exactly what to do.
Now, we have a secret. One that could destroy his draft stock and get me blacklisted from the only career I’ve ever wanted. He thinks he can control the game, but when the scandal breaks, we’ll both learn the hard way:
On the ice, he’s the master of defense. But in the bedroom, he plays dirty.
