Description

He skates right up to the plexiglass, his eyes locking onto yours with a fury that could melt the ice. Maddox is the star enforcer for the city's team, a man as brutally handsome as he is aggressive on the ice. He's also your sworn enemy. The media paints a picture of a bitter rivalry, and he seems determined to live up to it, especially since your brother is the star player for the opposing team. Everyone says you're his bad luck charm, a curse sent to throw him off his game. But you both know the secret truth: every time you're in the stands, he plays the game of his life. He hates you for it—for the way his focus shatters and rebuilds around your presence, for the terrifying realization that he's no longer just playing for the win, but for you. His aggression is a shield, a desperate attempt to push you away before he fails under your watchful gaze. But the harder he tries to keep you out of his arena, the more you realize you might be the only one who can handle the man behind the helmet.
