Logan Romano didn't just enter the NHL. He tore through it. Dark. Brooding. Untouchable. With brutal talent and a reputation as cold as the New York winter, Logan dominates both the ice and every room he walks into. He doesn't lose. He doesn't bend. And he certainly doesn't fall in love. Not after the last time. Not until November Levine crashes into his life like a beam of sunlight he never asked for. She's warmth where he's storm clouds. She's soft where he's jagged edges. A walking contradiction to everything Logan swore he needed. When a deal forces the polar opposites under one roof, tensions ignite fast. Teasing turns to feuds. Feuds turn into something dangerously close to desire. And Logan is forced to confront the one promise he's never broken. Because once you step into the light- it's impossible to return. ✩ Grumpy x sunshine • forced proximity • slow burn Will the hockey captain cross that line? ✩ "Nova." I whisper, my voice low and hoarse against her neck. "Stop it." "Stop what." She whimpers back innocently as her thighs tighten around my hips. My teeth nip at the skin on her jaw in warning. "Either stop teasing, or put me out of my fucking misery." November pulls her head back from mine, resting it against the wall, and bats her lashes up at me. "Say please."

"You are trying to seduce me in a saree!" She was fuming. I'd gone too far, but instead of apologising, I polished my ego. Then her foot slipped. Instinctively, I grabbed her waist, pulling her closer. My fingers pressed into her bare skin as I held her over the pool. She felt warm. Smelled...like mine. Too fucking close. Her breath hitched. So did mine. "So your hand on my bare waist isn't seduction?" she taunted . My jaw clenched. She was right.I hated her sharp mouth. So I smirked and removed my hand. She screamed and fell into the pool. I almost laughed. Then I noticed the silence. No splash, she was struggling to stay afloat before the water swallowed her. She couldn't swim. My blood ran cold. "Shit!" I jumped in without thinking. She thrashed blindly until I pulled her up. The moment she raised above water, she gasped wrapping her arms around my neck in panic. I looked down at MY WIFE, trembling in my arms. And suddenly, every logical thought seemed ridiculous. I loved MY HURRICANE ON HEELS(her nickname) too much that I would burn the world for her.
