WARNING: RATED M
Pierre Harve was supposed to have it all. As the towering, ruthless captain of the Phoenix Fire, he built his entire identity on control especially on the field. But in a single week, his world unravels. His star striker spot is threatened by Lance Sanders, a talented newcomer from their fiercest rival team, and his ex-girlfriend Sandra walks away, leaving Pierre's ego battered and bloodied.
Then comes Adeline.
Fierce, protective, and standing at barely five-foot-one, Lance's younger sister isn't afraid of the six-foot-five captain everyone else fears. When she steps onto his turf and lands a slap across his face to defend her brother, she lights a dangerous fuse inside him.
Benched, humiliated, and consumed by a toxic need for payback, Pierre sets his sights on a new target. Destroying Lance on the field isn't enough anymore. To truly ruin his rival, Pierre decides to take the one thing Lance protects above all else: Adeline.
What starts as a cold, calculated game of vengeance quickly spirals into a dark, volatile obsession. Pierre is used to running the play, but Adeline isn't a trophy to be won. She's a match tossed into his gasoline. As lines cross and hatred turns into a suffocating heat, Pierre has to decide how far into the ashes he's willing to burn just to win.
