Blurb
HE’S THE CAPTAIN. I’M THE GM’S DAUGHTER. AND I JUST MOVED INTO HIS BEDROOM.
THEO VOLKOV
They call him "The Tsar."
He’s six-foot-five of brooding Russian muscle, the Captain of the Blackthorne Bruisers, and the presumptive number one draft pick. He’s disciplined, lethal, and colder than the ice he skates on.
He has one rule: No distractions.
So when my father—the General Manager who holds Theo’s career in his fist—cuts me off and forces me to move into the hockey house, Theo looks at me like I’m a virus.
He thinks I’m a spoiled brat. He thinks I’m soft.
He’s about to find out that I can play dirty too.
MILA KENSINGTON
I have nowhere to go. My credit cards are frozen, my friends have bailed, and I’m stuck living in a concrete bunker with a man who hates my guts.
We struck a deal: I stay out of his way, and he helps me fake a rehabilitation for my image.
But the Fortress is small. And the walls are thin.
I see the scars he hides under that jersey. He sees the panic I hide under my designer clothes.
We started as enemies. We became roommates. But one night, the bickering stopped, and the "discipline" began.
Now, I’m not just breaking his rules. I’m on my knees begging for them.
But we’re playing a dangerous game.
If my father finds out Theo touched me, he won't just bench him. He’ll destroy him.
Theo has to choose: The NHL dream he’s bled for, or the girl he wasn't supposed to keep.
