HE WAS HIRED TO KEEP ME OUT OF TROUBLE. INSTEAD, HE BECAME THE DANGER.
ROY SLATER
They call me “The Anvil.” I’m the Captain of the Blackwood Kodiaks, the best goalie in the conference, and a guy with exactly zero patience for drama. I have one goal: The NHL. Nothing gets in my way.
Until she does.
Juno Valenti. The Chairman’s daughter. A platinum-blonde hurricane of daddy issues and expensive lingerie. She’s a liability to my team and a threat to my scholarship.
My assignment? Babysit her. Keep her sober. Keep her celibate. Keep her in line.
But when I move into her apartment, I realize the “Brat” is just armor. Underneath the attitude, she’s untouched.
She wants to play games? Fine. I’ll teach her the rules.
Rule #1: You don’t tease the goalie unless you want to get scored on.
JUNO VALENTI
I hate Roy Slater. He’s big, brooding, and treats me like a job he’s desperate to quit. He thinks I’m a spoiled princess. He thinks he can control me.
He has no idea.
I push his buttons because I want to see if the stone-cold Anvil can actually feel something. I wear his jersey to class just to see his jaw tick. I taunt him until he snaps.
But when he finally does snap… it’s not what I expected.
He doesn’t want to fight. He wants to own me.
He’s the one man I can’t have. If my father finds out, Roy loses his future, and I lose the only person who has ever truly seen me.
We’re playing a dangerous game on thin ice. And we’re about to fall through.
HE’S THE KING OF THE CAMPUS. I’M THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS HE’S A MONSTER. AND I THINK I’M GOING TO LET HIM DEVOUR ME.
DARICK THORNE
I have been twenty-two years old for two centuries.
I am the heir to a banking empire, the starting quarterback for Blackthorne University, and a creature who feeds on blood to survive.
My life is a cage of boredom and ice. I play football just to feel the violence. I don’t do relationships. I don’t do warmth. And I certainly don’t do love.
Until she touches me.
Linda Perez. The scholarship student. The trainer with the warm hands and the pulse that beats so loud it drowns out the crowd. She smells like life. She tastes like salvation.
I should stay away. My father—and the Coven—will kill her if they find out she’s my Mate.
But when she’s standing in my locker room, looking at me like I’m a man instead of a beast… I realize I’m done playing by the rules.
LINDA PEREZ
I have one goal: Graduate, get into med school, and get the hell out of Aspen.
I don’t have time for the entitled, brooding rich boys of Blackthorne. Especially not Darick Thorne. He’s arrogant, cold as the grave, and looks at me like he wants to eat me alive.
Literally.
But when I catch him in the ice bath—fully clothed and terrified—I see the cracks in his armor. I see the loneliness behind the violet eyes.
We strike a deal. I tutor him so he stays on the team; he protects me from the wolves on campus.
But nobody warned me that the safest place in the world would be in the arms of the most dangerous man on it. Or that falling for a vampire means risking more than just my heart.
It means risking my soul.
