HE’S THE NHL’S FUTURE GOLDEN BOY. I’M THE GIRL WHO JUST SAW HIM NAKED IN A CRYO-CHAMBER. WE ARE A PR DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.
Mark Sterling.
Center. Captain. The Shark.
He’s six-foot-four of old money, ice-cold arrogance, and pure muscle. He treats hockey like a business and emotions like a liability. He has a plan: Win the Championship, get drafted first overall, and escape his father’s thumb.
He doesn’t do distractions.
Until I walk into the wrong room, break his ten-thousand-dollar camera, and see everything.
Now, he owns me. To save my scholarship, I have to be his "image consultant." I have to follow him around, film his "good side," and pretend I don't want to claw his eyes out.
Susan O’Malley.
Scholarship student. Chaos magnet. The thorn in my side.
She smells like vanilla and trouble. She wears hoodies three sizes too big to hide a body that keeps me awake at night. She hates me, and she’s not afraid to say it.
She’s off-limits. She’s staff. Touching her is a one-way ticket to losing my draft spot.
But when we’re alone in the dark of the library, or the heat of the editing bay, the ice begins to crack.
I don't just want to fix my image anymore. I want to ruin her lipstick. I want to hear her beg.
We made a deal to keep it professional. But one night in a snowstorm changed the rules.
Now, I’m not just fighting for a trophy. I’m fighting the urge to burn down my entire legacy just to keep her.
Because the Shark has finally found the one thing he can’t live without.
And if my father finds out? We both lose everything.
HE’S THE NHL’S FUTURE STAR. I’M THE JOURNALIST WHO JUST RUINED HIS REPUTATION. NOW, WE’RE TRAPPED IN THE SAME HOUSE.
Leon Vallas is a machine.
As the star goalie for the Blackwood Kodiaks, he’s known as "The Wall." He’s cold, efficient, and obsessed with control. He doesn't do distractions. He definitely doesn't do relationships. And he hates me.
Probably because I wrote the article that called him a "soulless robot" and almost got him benched.
I thought I could avoid him until graduation.
I was wrong.
Aurora Vance is a problem.
I’m a scholarship student hanging on by a thread. I need a scoop to save my degree, not a roommate who times his showers and eats oatmeal clockwise.
But thanks to a housing disaster and a blizzard, I’m stuck living in Vallas’s duplex.
I expected a war. I expected him to try to evict me.
I didn’t expect him to be walking around shirtless.
I didn’t expect him to protect me when things got dangerous.
And I definitely didn’t expect the way he looks at me when he thinks I’m not watching.
We made a deal: I help him save his brother from a scandal, and he gives me the exclusive story of the year.
Rules were set. Lines were drawn.
But then he touched me in the kitchen, and the Wall came crumbling down.
Now I’m not just writing the story. I’m living it.
And when the truth comes out, it won’t just break his heart. It’ll destroy us both.
