HE’S A 6’5” WALL OF MUSCLE WHO HATES EVERYONE. I’M THE DEAN’S DAUGHTER WHO CAN’T STOP TALKING. AND THANKS TO A BURST PIPE, WE’RE SHARING A BEDROOM.
Terry “The Tank” Ivanov.
To the NHL scouts, he’s a defensive prodigy. To the rest of Blackwood University, he’s a terrifying, silent giant with a scar through his eyebrow and a temper that could melt ice.
He has one goal: Get drafted, get the signing bonus, and save his family from poverty.
He doesn’t have time for distractions. Especially not the chaotic, strawberry-blonde distraction who just moved into his attic.
Madison Leigh.
I have a plan. Get my PhD, escape my stepfather’s suffocating control, and remain invisible.
But when my housing falls through, I’m forced into The Ice Box—a decrepit house filled with hockey players. And my new roommate? The scariest man on campus.
We tape a black line down the center of the room. He stays on his side; I stay on mine. It’s the perfect system.
Until the lights go out.
One power outage, one panic attack, and one moment of weakness later, the line is gone.
I find out that the silent giant isn’t just a brute—he’s broken.
And he finds out that I’m the only one who can put him back together.
But I’m the Dean’s daughter, and he’s the scholarship kid on thin ice. If we get caught, he loses his career, and I lose my future.
We’re playing a game we can’t win. But when he touches me, I don’t care about the score.
HE IS THE KING OF THE ICE. I AM THE ONE THING HE CAN’T CLAIM.
FELIX THORNE
They call him “Iron.” The Captain of the Blackwood Nightstalkers. The NHL’s most wanted prospect. To the world, he’s a hockey god. To me, he’s the growling, scarred nightmare who stormed into my physio room bleeding and furious.
He’s keeping a secret—a primal, violent beast that lives beneath his skin. He thinks he’s cursed to destroy anyone he touches.
That’s why he hates me.
Because I’m human. I’m fragile. And I smell like the one thing his inner monster is starving for.
HAILEY SUMMERS
My father is the Dean, and he gave me one rule: Stay away from the animals on the hockey team.
I should have listened.
But when Felix tears his MCL, I’m the only one who can fix him. Now, I’m locked in a hydrotherapy room with a man who looks at me like he wants to devour me whole.
He says I’m a distraction. He says I’m in danger.
But when he pins me against the wall and whispers “Good Girl” in that gravelly voice, I don’t feel endangered.
I feel hunted.
The deal was simple: Fix his knee. Save his season. Walk away.
But biology doesn’t care about deals. And when the Captain decides I’m his, no rule book in the world can save me.
