HE WANTS ORDER. I AM PURE CHAOS. AND I JUST MOVED INTO HIS BED.
Anderson Blackwood is a myth.
He’s the billionaire heir to a private equity empire. He’s the Captain of the Sterling Stags. He’s the Ice King who treats his life like a perfectly executed spreadsheet. He doesn't do "messy." He doesn't do "feelings." And he certainly doesn't do me.
I am Penelope Vance, the fallen princess.
My father is in handcuffs, my credit cards are frozen, and I am one tuition payment away from being homeless. I have no skills, no money, and nowhere to go.
Until Andy offers me a deal.
He needs a live-in assistant to manage his obsessive schedule. I need a roof over my head.
The catch? He has Rules.
Rule #1: Total obedience.
Rule #2: The bedroom is off-limits.
Rule #3: Don't be a brat.
I broke all of them by Tuesday.
I thought he would fire me. Instead, he locked the door.
He didn't want to terminate my contract. He wanted to teach me a lesson.
Now, the line between "Boss" and "Master" is blurring. He’s soothing my panic attacks with one hand and leaving bruises on my backside with the other. But we have a secret that could destroy us both.
If the University finds out, I lose my degree.
If the NHL scouts find out, he loses the draft.
We’re playing a dangerous game on thin ice. And when it cracks, we’re both going to drown.
HE’S THE TEAM CAPTAIN. I’M THE COACH’S DAUGHTER. AND WE’RE TRAPPED IN A GLASS HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
Liam Sterling is a machine.
Rich, arrogant, and disciplined to the point of obsession, he’s the Blackwood University Captain and the heir to a tech empire. He has a plan: Win the Frozen Four, get drafted by the Rangers, and escape his father’s shadow.
He doesn't do distractions.
And I am the definition of a distraction.
I’m Betty Kensington. The disaster.
I paint messy art, I wear combat boots to galas, and I have a reputation for being a "Brat." My father—the Head Coach—is sick of it. His solution? He exiles me to Liam’s off-campus fortress, "The Ice Box," for the semester.
The deal is simple: Liam tutors me so I don’t fail out, and I pretend to be his dutiful girlfriend to clean up his "injured player" image for the scouts.
It was supposed to be a business arrangement.
Until I pushed his buttons one too many times in the kitchen.
Until he looked at me not with annoyance, but with hunger.
Until I realized that beneath the icy exterior, Liam Sterling isn't just a Captain.
He’s a Dom.
Now, the fake dating lines are blurring. The study sessions are turning into lessons in discipline. And we’re breaking the one rule that could ruin us both:
Don’t fall in love with the assignment.
Book 1 - Manners and Mitts
