About this book

When Stone joins Callum's college hockey team, old wounds resurface—Stone witnessed Callum at his most vulnerable years ago, and Callum has spent every day since keeping him at arm's length with barely concealed hatred. But as they navigate the ice together, the tension between them shifts into something darker and far more magnetic, with each man suspecting the other might be equally obsessed. Both carrying their own shadowy secrets, Callum and Stone begin to wonder if the very darkness they've hidden could be the missing piece that completes them. This is a deliciously intense dark romance about two broken people discovering that sometimes the person who scares you most is exactly who you need.

Dark, intense energy with rivals-to-lovers tension. Industrial beats meet moody indie rock—think Nine Inch Nails meets The National. Brooding vocals, heavy bass, and sensual undertones. Angst-driven alternative with moments of raw vulnerability. Perfect for obsessive passion and dangerous attraction.
