HE HAS NO PULSE. I HAVE NO MONEY.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BUSINESS DEAL, NOT A BLOOD OATH.
MAGNUS VANE
I am four hundred years old. I am a billionaire. And I am currently the star defenseman for Blackridge University because immortality is boring and hitting people is therapeutic.
I have one rule: Do not engage with the humans. They are fragile, fleeting, and messy.
Then Alice Pendergast puts her hands on my throat to check for a pulse that isn’t there.
She knows my secret. She smells like vanilla and fear. And she is the only thing in centuries that has made me feel alive.
When she needs tuition money, I offer a trade: I’ll pay her debts. She plays my fake girlfriend to keep the press off my back.
It was supposed to be a simple transaction. Until I tasted her.
ALICE PENDERGAST
I am drowning in debt, running on caffeine, and one bad grade away from losing my scholarship.
The last thing I need is to fake-date Magnus Vane. He’s arrogant, cold (literally), and looks at me like I’m a snack.
But the tuition check cleared, so now I’m wearing his jersey, riding in his Aston Martin, and pretending not to notice that he never eats, never sleeps, and his skin feels like marble.
I told myself I wouldn’t fall for the monster. I told myself it was just a job.
But when he touches me with those ice-cold hands, I don’t want to run. I want to burn.
The game is rigged. The clock is ticking. And if we get caught, I won’t just lose my heart. I’ll lose my life.
HE’S THE UNTOUCHABLE GOALIE. I’M THE DEAN’S DAUGHTER. AND WE’RE TRAPPED IN A BLIZZARD WITH ONLY ONE BED.
LEVI STERLING
They call me “The Wall.” On the ice, I’m the unstoppable captain of the Blackwood Bruisers. Off the ice, I’m a ghost. I have one goal: go pro, get the signing bonus, and save my sister from my father’s tyranny.
I don’t do distractions. I definitely don’t do relationships.
And I especially don’t do Ella Vane.
She’s chaotic, loud, and the daughter of the man holding my scholarship hostage. She’s everything I hate.
But when a freak blizzard traps us in a mountain lodge for a week, my discipline starts to crack. She thinks she can sculpt me. She thinks she can break me.
She has no idea what happens when the wall finally comes down.
ELLA VANE
I’m the “spoiled princess” of Blackwood University, but nobody sees the real me. They just see the Dean’s credit card.
I hate Levi Sterling. He’s arrogant, cold, and looks at me like I’m a bug on his windshield.
But stranded in the snow, I see a different side of the Captain. I see the hunger behind the discipline. I see the man who wants to take control.
We made a deal: I stay out of his way, and he models for my sculpture.
But when the lights go out, the lines blur.
He calls me a brat. I call him a robot.
But when his hands are on me, I forget my own name.
We’re playing a dangerous game. If my father finds out, Levi loses his future. If I fall in love, I lose my heart.
The ice is cold, but we are burning down the house.
