HE TOLD ME TO CARRY MY OWN BAGS. I TOLD HIM TO GO TO HELL. NOW I’M SLEEPING IN HIS BED.

Santino ‘Sonny’ Moretti is everything I’m not. He’s gritty, poor, and skates like he’s trying to punch a hole in the ice. He’s the Blackwell Bruins’ terrifying Enforcer, a man who speaks in grunts and glares. He thinks I’m just a spoiled "Princess" with a Black Card and a daddy who owns the stadium. He’s right. But he doesn't know why.

Marie St. Clair. The name opens doors, but it closes hearts. When I accidentally set fire to my penthouse dorm (long story), my father cuts me off and exiles me to "The Ice Box"—a crumbling house filled with sweaty hockey players. My new roommate? The guy who hates my guts.

The plan was to ignore him. But when the heat goes out and we’re forced to huddle for warmth, the lines blur. I discover that behind the scars and the scowl, Sonny is a man who craves control. And God help me, I want to give it to him.

He calls me a brat. I call him Sir.
He tutors me in economics. I teach him how to lose control.

But we’re playing a dangerous game. My father holds Sonny’s scholarship in one hand and my trust fund in the other. If he catches us, Sonny loses his dream, and I lose the only man who has ever seen the real me.

Sonny plays defense on the ice. But in the bedroom? He’s playing to claim.

HE IS THE BILLIONAIRE CAPTAIN OF THE TEAM. I AM THE GIRL PAID TO KEEP HIM IN LINE. WE ARE A SCANDAL WAITING TO HAPPEN.

Dylan Vane is a masterpiece of violence.
On the ice, he’s the lethal Captain of the Blackbriar Bruins. Off the ice, he’s the heir to a shipping empire—cold, arrogant, and untouchable. He treats people like chess pieces and emotions like liabilities. I’m supposed to be his Academic Compliance Officer. My job is simple: Ensure he passes his classes and stays out of trouble.

I wasn't supposed to become the trouble.

When a housing crisis leaves me homeless in the middle of a Maine winter, Dylan makes me an offer I can’t refuse: Live in his guest cottage. Cook his meals. Organize his life. In exchange, I get a roof over my head and my tuition paid.

It was supposed to be strictly professional.
Until he found out I’ve never been touched.
Until he decided that "stress relief" was part of my job description.
Until he bent me over his mahogany desk and whispered two words that shattered my defenses: "Good Girl."

Now, we’re playing a dangerous game in a house full of secrets. If his ruthless father finds out, Dylan loses his trust fund. If the University finds out, I lose my future.

He says he’s broken. He says he can’t love.
But when the world tries to tear us apart, the Ice King might just burn the whole city down to keep me.
