Aaliyah never planned on catching the eye of Leo Ramirez. A quiet, brooding basketball player who looks at her like she's trouble & like he'd burn the whole world for her.

She's accidentally given his hotel room to stay in...when he confronts her he instantly recognises her beautiful face. This one moment would be the beginning of their love story...

Luca Moretti was supposed to be a legend - until a career-ending injury turned the league's most feared forward into its coldest coach. Discipline is all he has left, and he wields it like a weapon. The players respect him. The press fears him. And behind closed doors, control isn't just his reputation - it's his release. Isola Ren never planned to come back to the sport that destroyed her family. But when she's hired as the team's new physical therapist, she finds herself face-to-face with the man whose name once filled her brother's stories. Luca Moretti. Arrogant. Commanding. Off-limits. Their first clash sparks more than anger. His warning is low and dangerous: "Careful, little girl. I break the ones who talk back." She should walk away. She doesn't. In a world where pain and passion skate the same thin ice, control becomes the most dangerous game of all. And when secrets from the past resurface, both will have to decide what they're willing to risk - for forgiveness, for obsession, and for something that feels a lot like love. A dark, age-gap hockey romance full of tension, obsession, and the kind of heat that burns slow and deep.

I froze. A man was slumped against the graffiti-covered brick wall, blood blooming across his side. His white shirt was soaked through, and there was a gun just inches from his open hand. My heart slammed against my ribs. Run, Skye. You should run. But I didn't. Instead, I dropped my bag and took a cautious step closer. His head lifted. Piercing, icy blue eyes met mine, sharp even through the haze of pain. His face was all sharp edges and shadowed scruff, blood trailing from the corner of his mouth. His accent was thick and rough, like broken glass. "Leave." I shook my head slowly. "You're bleeding. Bad." "Not your concern." His voice was lethal, but he flinched hard when he tried to move. "You're gonna die out here," I whispered, kneeling beside him. My hands trembled as I pressed a napkin from my apron against his side. "I'm studying to be a nurse. Let me help." He stared at me like I was something he couldn't comprehend. A stranger. A softness he didn't trust. Then his hand, heavy and warm, clamped around my wrist-not rough, but firm. "What's your name?" he rasped. "...Skye." A beat passed. Then another. "I am Mikhail." His eyes darkened. "And you shouldn't have found me."

"If I see you touch another man, I'll kill him and make you watch." I stare at him waiting for the joke. He wasn't. "You wouldn't dare" I scoffed, turning around and continuing with my plan on leaving the room. "Oh but trust me, I would" he says. I turn around with the door in my hand. "Fuck off." I walk out. "It's okay. You're okay. I'm okay. We're okay." *This book moves fast! I think it gives more opportunities!*
