SHAY
Dimitri Malenkov is everything I should hate. Arrogant, brooding, infuriatingly gorgeous, and, just my luck, the newest hockey player for the Detroit Serpents.
As the team’s athletic trainer, getting involved with a player is something I probably shouldn’t do. Especially not with the guy who seems hell-bent on making my life a living nightmare.
But somewhere between the arguments, the tension, and the undeniable attraction, hating Dimitri becomes impossible.
Then I discover what he’s running from. Something dangerous.
Something that could destroy us both.

DIMITRI
Shay Owens is a nuisance. Mouthy, stubborn, and impossible to ignore. He’s the last man I should want—and the one I can’t stop wanting.
When my father’s business starts bleeding into my hockey career, I’m dragged into the mess I’ve spent my whole life trying to escape.
My father taught me that attachment is weakness. That caring about someone gives them a weapon to use against you.
I know better than to give Shay that power over me. But somewhere between wanting to ruin him and wanting to protect him, I have to figure out which one of us I’m really trying to save.
