About this book

When a hockey player fresh off the ice needs lessons in seduction and a woman on the brink of financial collapse needs two million reasons to teach him, they draw up a contract that's supposed to be purely transactional—no feelings, no complications. But Carter proves to be a faster learner than expected, and the carefully controlled dynamic begins to shift in ways neither of them anticipated. What starts as a calculated arrangement becomes dangerously personal as the lines between teacher and student, dominance and vulnerability, blur in the most unexpected ways. This is a steamy, emotionally charged romance about two people discovering that sometimes the best deals are the ones your heart never agreed to.

“Create a playlist called Stand Your Ground. Sultry R&B and sensual pop for tension that burns slow then fast. Think SZA's vulnerability mixed with The Weeknd's intensity, indie seduction, and confident bedroom energy. Passion that builds from friendship into something you can't control.”
