It was only supposed to be a bet.
A few careless words, a challenge thrown across a table, and a girl Alexander barely knew became the center of a game he had no intention of taking seriously. For Alexander, it was supposed to be a distraction from everything he was dealing with, something to take his mind off his problems for a while.
The rules were simple: three dates. Four weeks.
What Alexander hadn't counted on was Daliah.
She doesn't make things easy. She keeps people at a distance, questions every intention, and has no interest in becoming part of someone else's plans.
But as the four weeks begin to unfold, the lines of the bet become harder to see.
Conversations that were never meant to matter start to. Trust takes the place of suspicion. And somewhere between what Alexander agreed to do and what he actually begins to feel, the bet starts becoming something neither of them expected.
Four weeks. Three dates. One bet Alexander thought he could control.
He had no idea what he'd gotten himself into.

Enter Beckett "Beck" Rourke-a walking penalty who leaves slush, rule violations, and smug grins in his wake. When the city threatens to cut funding unless they cohost a winter fundraiser, the rink manager and the team's golden boy are forced onto the same sheet of ice. Their truce lasts exactly one practice. Beckett needs help with his edges; Lacy needs his team to stop treating her rink like a demolition derby. Midnight lessons turn into breath-stealing proximity. A fake date for donors becomes a real problem for self-control. One hotel room, one very loud goal horn, and one viral hallway kiss later, the town ships them harder than a Zamboni after overtime. But saving the rink means playing by the rules Lacy swore she'd never break again, and Beck's career can't survive a scandal. When the cameras catch fire and sponsors get skittish, he'll have to decide if he's protecting his image-or the woman who makes every inch of ice feel like home. Enemies on the surface. Partners under pressure. And when they finally stop fighting the pull? Let's just say the boards aren't the only things getting rocked.

When locker-room reporter Faith Langley asks a star forward one brutally honest question, she doesn't expect to go viral-or to get permanent access to the one man she cannot stand.

Then one stupid, reckless kiss turns into something neither of them can laugh off. With Faith's dream promotion on the line, Gabriel's season under a microscope, and the entire league watching, keeping their hands off each other might save their careers... but cost them the only thing that's ever felt real.
