Kael never wanted to come to Lysena: a prosperous matriarchal world where women hold social power and men are expected to know their place. But when his family's transport ship is forced to make an emergency stop, they find themselves stranded in a society that challenges everything Kael believes about freedom, authority, attraction, and what it means to be a man. Far from home, Kael struggles to adapt to life on Lysena. He hates the rules. He hates the attention. Most of all, he hates Sari: sharp-tongued, clever, and impossible to ignore. She seems to take endless pleasure in flustering him, turning every conversation into a game he can never quite win. But the more Kael resists her, the more tangled their rivalry becomes. Every tease, every challenge, every brush of her hand leaves him unsettled in ways he doesn't understand. And when surrender begins to feel less like defeat and more like desire, Kael is forced to confront a truth he never expected: Maybe he doesn't want to escape Lysena after all. He swore he'd never bend. She swore she'd make him hers.

She was supposed to be the rookie neither of them noticed. Instead, she became the one thing Shane and Ilya could never agree to share. Twenty-one-year-old Izabela "Izzy" Mila Elisaveta Stoyanova arrives in Boston as Bulgaria's newest hockey prodigy, joining the Boston Pride with a reputation that seems almost impossible to live up to. Photographic memory. An extraordinary hockey IQ. A mind that moves faster than everyone around her. And an obsession with the game that borders on religious devotion. On the ice, Izabela is terrifyingly precise. Off it, she's quieter. Books are safer than people. Patterns make sense when emotions don't. Her black-framed glasses, French crown braid and ocean-blue eyes make her instantly recognisable, but she's far more comfortable disappearing into the library than standing beneath a spotlight. Then she meets Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. Except there's one problem. Shane and Ilya are already in love. Years of rivalry have concealed something neither man has ever been brave enough to name publicly. Behind closed doors, they have always tangled their hatred with devotion, and their competition has hidden something much softer. Izabela doesn't intend to become part of that equation. Neither does she expect to fall for them. And neither Shane nor Ilya expects the quiet Bulgarian rookie to become, somehow, the missing piece neither knew they were searching for. The hockey world has spent years watching Shane and Ilya fight. Nobody is prepared to watch them love. Especially not when Izabela gives them something neither of them has ever had before: a future that belongs to all three of them.
