HE’S THE TEAM’S MOST VIOLENT WEAPON. I’M THE CAPTAIN’S SISTER. IF WE GET CAUGHT, THE ICE WON’T BE THE ONLY THING SHATTERING.
Wayne Kovac. “The Warhead.”
To the NHL scouts, he’s a bruising defenseman with a checkered past. To the campus, he’s a walking cautionary tale. To me? He’s the rude, arrogant, hulking brute who dripped slush on my thermodynamics notes and called me “Princess.”
I should hate him. I do hate him.
But when the Dean threatens to bench him, I’m the only tutor who can save his eligibility.
Now I’m stuck in a glass box library with a man who looks at me like he wants to devour me whole.
Amelia St. James.
I’m the “Good Girl.” The engineer with the perfect GPA and the trust fund pedigree. My brother is the team Captain, and his one rule is absolute: Stay away from Kovac.
I have a plan. Graduate, get my PhD, and escape the suffocating expectations of my family.
Getting tangled up with the team’s bad boy isn’t in the equation. It’s a variable I can’t control.
The Storm.
When a blizzard traps us alone in a remote cabin for forty-eight hours, the academic rivalry melts into something primal. I see the scars beneath his tattoos. He sees the fire beneath my cardigan.
We made a deal: Fake it for the grades. Keep it a secret for the team.
But Wayne doesn’t just want to pass a class. He wants to teach me things I can’t learn in a textbook.
And when he looks at me in the mirror and tells me I’m his?
I forget that loving him might cost me everything.
HE HASN’T HAD A PULSE IN 300 YEARS. BUT ONE TOUCH FROM HER JUST RESTARTED HIS HEART.
VLAD
I have three rules for surviving eternity:
Don’t draw attention to the fact that you haven’t aged since the French Revolution.
Don’t eat the staff.
Never, ever fall in love.
I broke all three the day Riley Summers burst into my locker room.
I’m the goalie for the Blackthorn Nightshades. I’m rich, I’m bored, and I’m technically dead. I joined the team to feel physical pain, not to feel desire. But my new neighbor—the chaotic, broke, hazelnut-scented student trainer—is waking up parts of me I thought were long buried. She needs a tutor to keep her scholarship. I need a fake girlfriend to keep the unwanted attention off my… unique condition.
It was supposed to be a business arrangement. Until I realized I’d burn the world down just to keep her warm.
RILEY
Vlad Dracos is a nightmare. A gorgeous, six-foot-five, marble-sculpted nightmare.
He’s the star player, a billionaire snob, and he looks at my neck like it’s on the menu. Oh, and he lives on the other side of my duplex wall.
I should stay away. I have three jobs, a mountain of debt, and a degree to finish. But when I’m about to fail Anatomy, Vlad offers me a deal I can’t refuse. He’ll teach me the muscles; I’ll pretend to be his girlfriend.
Simple, right?
Wrong. Because when Vlad touches me, he’s ice cold, but he makes me burn. And when the secrets start to spill, I realize the monster in the net isn’t the one I should be afraid of. It’s the fact that I’m falling in love with him.
