HE’S THE TEAM CAPTAIN. I’M THE GOALIE’S SISTER. AND I JUST BECAME HIS DIRTY LITTLE SECRET.
Nathan Calloway is a machine.
They call him “The Surgeon” for a reason. He’s cold, precise, and obsessed with one thing: The NHL Draft. He has a plan for everything, and that plan does not include failing his Philosophy electives or getting distracted by a messy art student with welding goggles and a mouth she can’t control.
Especially when that student is Emma Russo.
My brother’s best friend.
My brother’s teammate.
The one girl on campus who is strictly, undeniably off-limits.
Emma Russo is a disaster.
I weld metal into art because I like things that are broken. But Nate Calloway isn’t broken; he’s a fortress of ice and arrogance. I hate him. I hate his perfect stats, his brooding stares, and the way he calls me “Picasso” like it’s an insult.
But when he shows up at my studio door begging for tutoring to save his eligibility, I see a crack in the armor.
I make him a deal: I’ll save his grade. He models for my final sculpture.
In my private studio.
Late at night.
While I measure every inch of him.
The deal was supposed to be professional.
But somewhere between the library study sessions and the heat of the welding torch, the lines blurred. I found the scar on his shoulder he’s hiding from the scouts. He found the insecurities I hide from the world.
Now, we’re sneaking around in the dark, breaking every rule in the book.
If my brother finds out, the team falls apart.
If the scouts find out, Nate’s career is over.
We’re playing a game with zero seconds on the clock, and when the buzzer sounds, one of us is going to get wrecked.
HE’S THE KING OF THE CAMPUS. I’M THE REPORTER TRYING TO EXPOSE HIM. HE WANTS TO DRINK MY BLOOD.
Zackary Vane is a god at Sterling University. He’s the starting quarterback, the heir to a pharmaceutical empire, and devastatingly beautiful. He’s also cold. Literally. His skin is ice, his stare is dead, and he hasn’t aged a day since 1924. He’s a monster hiding in plain sight, and he has one rule: never let a human get too close.
I’m barely scraping by. Between my scholarship and my barista job, I don’t have time for football gods. But I need a story to save my degree, and the Vane family finances are the perfect target. I broke into the locker room looking for a ledger. Instead, I found him. Shirtless, glowing-eyed, and ripping a steel door off its hinges like it was paper.
He should have killed me. Instead, he made a deal. I play his fake girlfriend to keep his secrets, and he keeps me alive. But the closer I get, the harder it is to remember that he’s a predator and I’m the prey. He’s forbidden, dangerous, and the only thing that makes me feel safe. But there’s a reason Zack doesn’t date humans.
Because when he kisses me, he doesn’t just want my heart. He wants the blood pumping through it.
