HE’S THE MOST VIOLENT PLAYER ON THE ICE. I’M THE RIVAL CAPTAIN’S SISTER. IF HE TOUCHES ME, HE LOSES EVERYTHING.
Miles “The Butcher” Thorne.
They call him a monster. A defenseman so aggressive he spends more time in the penalty box than on the ice. He’s six-foot-four of scarred muscle, tattoos, and a bloodline so cursed he’s sworn off women forever. He thinks he’s poison. He thinks his inner beast is a ticking time bomb waiting to destroy anyone he loves.
He’s cold. He’s cruel.
And he’s the only one who looks at me like he wants to eat me alive.
Willow Carmichael.
I’m the defective daughter of the enemy pack. A Latent wolf with no shift, no claws, and no future. I was raised to be invisible—the fragile princess in a tower of glass. My brother is the Golden Boy captain of the rival team, and his number one rule is simple: Stay away from the Nightmares. Especially Thorne.
I hate him. I hate his arrogance. I hate that he smells like storm and cedar and everything I’m not allowed to have.
The Game Changer.
When a blizzard traps us in a remote cabin for three days, the lines between “enemy” and “mate” blur. There’s no referee to blow the whistle. No brother to stop him.
I’m trapped with a starving wolf who has decided I’m the only thing that can quiet his demons.
He says I’m a mistake. He says if he claims me, he’ll break me.
But when the lights go out and the heat rises… I’m not running away.
Because the only thing more dangerous than a monster?
Is the girl who loves him.
HE’S THE KING OF THE ICE AND THE HEIR TO A PACK WAR. I’M THE ENEMY’S DAUGHTER HE WAS BORN TO HATE. AND I JUST GOT SNOWED IN WITH HIM.
Theo “The Mauler” Volkov isn’t just the Captain of the Ironclad Sentinels. He’s a walking, skating warning label. He plays hockey like he wants to hurt someone, and he runs his pack like a military unit. He’s cold, controlled, and lethal. He hates my last name. He hates my family. And now that he’s injured and entering a feral Rut cycle, he should hate that I’m the only one close enough to touch him.
I’ve spent my whole life being invisible. As the “Runt” of the Mercier pack, I learned early that silence is survival. My job as the student trainer was supposed to be simple: tape ankles, hand out water, and stay out of the Alpha’s way. But when a blizzard traps the team in a remote lodge, “staying away” becomes impossible. I’m the only medic on site. And Theo is the only patient I can’t seem to cure.
It starts with a fever. It turns into a deal. I become his anchor; he becomes my protector. But when the lights go out and the storm rages, the lines between Enemy and Mate blur. He smells like pine and violence. I smell like the one thing he can’t resist. One night of forbidden heat was supposed to get it out of our systems.
But biology doesn’t care about hockey rivalries. Now, there’s a secret growing inside me that could start a war between our families. Theo is chasing an NHL draft spot. I’m chasing freedom. But if the truth comes out, we won’t just lose our dreams… we’ll lose the only thing that matters. Each other.
