Blurb
HE’S THE MOST DANGEROUS PLAYER ON THE ICE. AND I’M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN STOP HIM FROM SHATTERING.
Stan "The Butcher" Kowalski.
Team Captain. Defenseman. Monster.
Everyone at Blackwood Mountain University fears him. They see the scars, the aggression, and the way he destroys anyone who touches the puck. They think he’s just a violent jock.
They don’t know the truth. They don’t know what he really is.
I should run. My survival instincts are screaming at me to transfer, to hide, to get away from the amber eyes that track my every move.
But I can’t. Because one touch from his rough hands calms the storm inside him. And when he whispers "Good Girl" in the dark, I don't want to run anymore.
I want to be ruined.
Rachel Miller.
Student Trainer. Virgin. The Bait.
I’ve spent my life being invisible. But when I’m assigned to rehab the Captain’s shoulder, I become the center of his obsession.
He says I smell like vanilla and rain. He says I’m his anchor.
But Stan has secrets that go deeper than the locker room. There are laws against what we’re doing. Ancient, bloody laws.
If I stay, I risk my heart. If he claims me, we risk our lives.
He warned me to stay away. He told me he’s a predator.
Too bad I’m already in the cage.
