A grumpy, ruthless pro hockey player, Nate is a man haunted by his past, and when his teammates drag him to a strip club to get his mind off life, he's not prepared for the fire that is Billie. Their connection is immediate, though neither of them is ready to admit it. As Nate's obsession with Billie grows, he'll do anything to claim her-but Billie's not easy to control. As they navigate the heat between them, both will have to confront their darkest secrets and decide how far they're willing to go for love-and for power.
