About this book

My Pucking Crush Luca has spent five years quietly leaving his dangerous past as a Bratva enforcer behind, working security for a professional hockey team and keeping everyone at arm's length—until he's assigned to protect Max Ryan, the team's irresistible star defenseman who immediately becomes his obsession. Max is everything Luca shouldn't want: charismatic, trouble-prone, and far too good at breaking through the walls Luca has so carefully built around his heart. As forced proximity turns into undeniable chemistry and old loyalties threaten to collide with new desires, Luca finds himself willing to confront the darkness he thought he'd escaped—all to keep Max safe. This is a swoon-worthy, emotionally intense MM romance about second chances, found family, and discovering that sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't the past catching up with you, but letting someone in enough to matter.

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Listen while you read

Spotify
obsessivesmolderingdarktenseintoxicating

Dark, intense indie rock and moody alternative pop with sensual R&B undertones. Think brooding tension, obsessive desire, and dangerous attraction—industrial synths meet raw vulnerability. Scorching chemistry wrapped in shadows and walls crumbling under pressure.
