He's the king of the ice. She's running for her life. And one back-alley rescue is about to change the game forever.
Coleton Cawfield is Montreal's golden boy. At twenty-five, the smooth-talking, dimpled Right Winger lives for the loud, chaotic roar of twenty-one thousand screaming fans. He's used to being the center of attention-until the night he scores a playoff overtime winner and locks eyes with a woman who looks at him like he's a mildly interesting human being.
She isn't cheering. She's wearing his teammate's jersey as a disguise. And an hour later, he finds her bleeding out in a dark parking garage with a firearm trained directly at his chest.
Steffanie Japay doesn't do rescues. As a hyper-vigilant mafia legacy hiding out in the city, her life depends on a weapons-grade poker face and keeping her secrets locked behind the intricate dragon tattoo claiming her entire back. But when her physical strength betrays her after an ambush, she has no choice but to accept the protection of the infuriatingly charming hockey star who refuses to leave her side.
She only asked for one night to stitch her wounds and vanish.
But when a knock at his penthouse door threatens to blow her cover, Coleton's protective instincts take over. Steffanie is a dangerous weapon, and Coleton is running on pure adrenaline-and inside his locked apartment, the friction between them is about to spark a wildfire that neither of them can control.
