About this book

When a woman bent on revenge infiltrates an elite college hockey team's shadowy inner circle, she thinks she's found her way in through the team's seemingly soft-hearted captain—only to discover that Kane Davenport is far more dangerous than anyone else in this den of vipers. What begins as a calculated manipulation spirals into a dangerously intoxicating game where the lines between hunter and hunted blur, and she realizes she's trapped with a predator who's just as hungry for control as she is. Rina Kent serves up a dark, sizzling romance that kicks off her new universe with a protagonist who's willing to play with fire and a hero who is the fire. Get ready for obsessive tension, secrets within secrets, and a slow-burn revelation that'll have you questioning everything.

Dark, sensual, and dangerously intoxicating. Blend industrial beats with sultry R&B, moody trap, and alternative rock. Think heavy bass, whispered vocals, and magnetic tension. Perfect for obsessive rivals locked in a game of power and desire.
