HE’S THE GOLDEN BOY OF COLLEGE HOCKEY. I’M THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS HE’S DROWNING.
Sayer Axton is the "Saint" of Blackwood University. The Captain. The future NHL superstar. He smiles for the cameras, signs the autographs, and carries the weight of his father’s legacy on his broad, padded shoulders. To the world, he’s invincible.
But I know the truth.
I found him in the hydrotherapy room at 2 AM—bruised, broken, and swallowing pills to numb the pain he’s hiding from the scouts.
I’m Larkin O’Shea, the scholarship student who can’t afford a single mistake. I hate hockey players. I hate their egos, their money, and the way they take up all the oxygen in the room. But when Sayer begs me to fix him in secret so he can make the draft, I make a deal with the devil.
I’ll rehab his injury. He’ll fake date me to keep my dangerous past at bay.
It was supposed to be a business arrangement.
Rule #1: No catching feelings.
Rule #2: No touching outside of "physical therapy."
Rule #3: Absolutely no kissing.
But Sayer Axton isn’t a Saint in the dark. He’s possessive, demanding, and terrifyingly focused on unraveling my defenses. When the lines between "fake" and "real" blur in the heat of the training room, I realize I’m not just fixing his body. I’m breaking my own heart.
We’re playing a dangerous game. And if his secret gets out, he loses the NHL... but I lose everything.
HE'''S THE TEAM CAPTAIN. I’M THE EXILED PRINCESS. AND HE JUST BECAME MY LANDLORD.
JACKSON RYLAND
They call him the Ice King. He’s the billionaire heir to a real estate empire, the star center for the Sentinels, and the coldest man on campus. He treats life like a game of chess: calculated, efficient, and devoid of emotion. He doesn't do distractions. He doesn't do mess.
And I am a walking natural disaster.
When I break into his penthouse to escape the cold, he should have called the police. Instead, he handed me a contract.
The Rules: Cook dinner. Keep it clean. And do exactly what he says.
He thinks he can tame me. He thinks he can fix me. But the way he looks at me when I push back? That’s not fixing. That’s devouring.
LEAH STERLING
I used to be royalty. Now, I’m the girl with the frozen credit cards and a viral meltdown video. I have nowhere to go but the spare room of the one man who hates my family as much as I do.
Jackson is arrogant, controlling, and infuriatingly hot. He wants to use me to piss off his father. I want to use him to survive the semester.
It was supposed to be a business arrangement. A fake relationship to save his draft stock and my tuition.
But then he kissed me in the kitchen. Then he touched me in the equipment room. Then he whispered ‘Good Girl’ in the dark, and I forgot that I was supposed to be pretending.
We’re playing a dangerous game. If we get caught, his legacy burns. If I fall for him, my heart breaks.
The buzzer is about to sound, and for the first time in my life, I don't know if I want to win... or if I want to be ruined by the Captain.
