HE’S THE KING OF THE CAMPUS. I’M THE GIRL TRYING TO EXPOSE HIM. AND HE LOOKS AT ME LIKE I’M HIS NEXT MEAL.
TALON THORNE
I am a monster in a jersey.
To the world, I’m the unstoppable quarterback of the Sterling Vipers. A billionaire heir. A god on the gridiron.
But they don’t know the truth. They don’t know about the silver-lined pads I wear to burn my skin and dampen my strength. They don’t know I count every second on the clock to keep the hunger at bay.
I have one rule: Control.
Then she breaks into my locker room. Rose Calloway.
She smells like rain, vanilla, and the one thing I’ve denied myself for fifty years. Life.
I should scare her away. I should ruin her.
Instead, I’m going to make her mine.
ROSE CALLOWAY
I needed a story to save my scholarship. I didn’t expect to find a nightmare.
Talon Thorne is arrogant, cold, and terrifyingly beautiful. He warns me to run. He tells me he’s dangerous.
But when he touches me, his hands are ice cold, and he looks at my throat with a dark, possessive hunger that makes my knees weak.
I know he’s hiding something. I know the Vipers are corrupt.
But the closer I get to the truth, the harder it is to stay away from him.
He says I’m off-limits. He says he’ll break me.
But I think he’s the one who’s about to crack.
The game is rigged. The clock is ticking. And if I let him claim me, I might not survive the season.
HE EVICTED ME. THEN HE MOVED ME IN. THEN HE RUINED ME.
James Sterling is a walking red flag wrapped in a designer suit.
He’s the Captain of the Blackwood Kodiaks. The heir to a billion-dollar tech empire. The Ice King of campus. He doesn’t have feelings; he has strategies. And his latest strategy involves buying my apartment building, kicking me out in a blizzard, and offering me his penthouse as a cage.
I’m Barbara “Barbie” Winslow, the scholarship student hanging by a thread.
I have forty dollars to my name and a mom in rehab. I don’t have time for arrogant hockey players with God complexes. But when James offers to pay my debts in exchange for playing the role of his “stable girlfriend” to impress his board of directors, I can’t say no.
The rules were simple:
Live in his penthouse.
Wear his jersey.
Don’t fall in love.
But James doesn’t play fair. He watches me with those cold blue eyes until I burn. He touches me with a possessiveness that feels dangerously real. And when the bedroom door closes, the “Good Girl” act drops, and he shows me exactly who owns whom.
We’re a scandal waiting to happen. A collision of ice and fire.
He thinks he’s saving his legacy.
He doesn’t realize he’s about to break us both.
