When Connor Walsh—star hockey player and ruthless captain—blackmails you into marriage to win a twisted game against his father, you think you're just a pawn in his war. But as days turn into stolen moments and guarded confessions, the man behind the ice-cold exterior starts to crack open, and you realize falling for him might be the most dangerous thing you've ever done. This is a deliciously dark forced-marriage romance that proves sometimes the most ruthless people are the ones brave enough to love fiercely. If you're craving possessive hockey players, slow-burn chemistry that sizzles, and two broken hearts learning to trust again, this one will absolutely wreck you in the best way.
