Layla Grant never believed in love, sure she'd seen her mom fall in love again and get remarried to her new stepdad. But Layla had always thought love was just a distraction- something fleeting, something destined to end in disappointment. That belief holds firm until her sophomore year at Belrose University, when she meets Marley Baker, the confident co-captain of the university's ice hockey team. Marley is everything Layla never expected to want...and everything she never planned to trust.
But on the night of Layla's date with Marley, her world shatters. Betrayed by the two people she trusted most, Layla finds herself broken, numb, and spiraling into a club she never meant to enter- only to come face to face with Blake Ryan.
Blake Ryan is the captain of the Belrose Bears, a leader on and off the ice, and Marley's captain. Blake has always had it all: loving parents, loyal friends, and a future carved out in front of her. Yet beneath the confidence and control, there's always been something missing. Love. Real love. The kind that stays.
As Layla's heart hangs in pieces, Blake is faced with an impossible choice. Will she be the one to help Layla heal...or will getting to close only cause more damage?
Sometimes the most dangerous love is the one you never saw coming.
