Ice and Ashes

Lara Duarte built her world with paint, silence, and control. As an artist, she turns pain into beauty-and keeps her distance from anything that might threaten the balance she spent years fighting to achieve.
Eduardo Vasconcelos lives on the opposite end of the spectrum. A hockey star, impulsive, provocative, and used to getting whatever he wants, he hides behind his fame a kind of emptiness not even the ice can freeze away.
They shouldn't even be able to stand each other.
She's his former best friend's sister.
He's everything she despises.
But somewhere between sharp banter, forbidden encounters, and secrets buried far too deep, hatred begins to turn into something far more dangerous.
Something that burns.
Something that consumes.
Something powerful enough to destroy them both.
In a game where pride, desire, and pain collide, Lara and Eduardo will discover that some connections are impossible to escape.
And that falling for your enemy might cost you everything.
