Vivian Vox has never believed in coincidence. At thirty-two, she has everything power, wealth, influence. People move when she speaks. Doors open before she reaches them. Control has always come easily. Then she meets Skylar Grey. Ten years younger, stubborn, sharp-tongued, and completely unimpressed by her, Skylar is everything Vivian isn't prepared for. What begins as an impossible attraction becomes something far more dangerous: love. The kind that consumes. The kind that changes people. The kind that hurts. Now married, they're building a life together but love isn't always enough. Secrets, fear, family expectations, and impossible choices threaten to pull them apart. Because Skylar Grey has never stopped fighting. And Vivian Vox has never learned how to let go. In the end, the question isn't whether they love each other. It's whether love will be enough to survive everything they've become.

Now, after years of hard work, she's finally graduating as a veterinary technician and is ready to prove that following her heart was worth it. On graduation day, she's running late while also juggling her cap, gown, and nerves as she races through the city's hockey arena where the ceremony is being held. She ends up crashing straight into Callum Bennett, the hockey star of the BrooksRidge Sparks. Callum Bennett has never had trouble getting attention on or off the ice.
