“I’m officially nobody,” Jay says.

Viktor’s mouth twists. “No. You’re officially mine.”

He owns the team.

And now… he owns the player no one was supposed to notice.

Jay Calder was supposed to be a hockey player ,a bench guy, a spare part, one bad month away from disappearing. All he wants is to stay in the league.

Viktor Hale didn’t buy a hockey franchise for glory.

For him, money is easy, power is easy, and people are disposable.

Pulled out of the shadows and into a world of secrets, surveillance, and criminal favors, Jay learns that survival comes with a price and Viktor always collects.

And when Jay finally understands the truth, when he realizes he isn’t being saved, but kept, it’s already too late to run.

This is not a normal love story.

It’s a dark MM hockey romance featuring a ruthless billionaire, a desperate player, criminal power plays, moral corruption, and an obsession that burns hotter than the ice, and will keep you turning pages long after you should have stopped.
