A steamy new college hockey romance featuring a chaotic golden boy, a fierce ice queen, and a second chance that might just burn them both to the ground. HER FORTRESS Morgan "Morgue" Riley's emotional fortress has no doors. As the captain of Pine Barren University's brand-new women's hockey team, her guiding principle is simple: trust is pain, and letting anyone in is a mistake. That lesson was forged in two devastating betrayals. The second, and most painful, came from the one boy who ever made her feel safe-James Fitzgerald, the human hurricane who turned their connection into a punchline and taught her that vulnerability is for fools. HIS PERFORMANCE James "Rook" Fitzgerald is the beloved, chaotic new captain of the national champion Devils, his life a symphony of off-key singing and locker-room jokes designed to drown out suffocating silence. Raised in a high-conflict home, his one rule is to never let things get too serious or too quiet. But his one regret is the girl he drove away three years ago, because she was the only person who ever made the quiet feel safe. THEIR COLLISION COURSE Now, as rival captains, they're locked in a collision course of unfinished business. Their professional battles quickly bleed into a secret, desperate addiction to each other in the quiet moments no one can ever be allowed to see. But as the ruthless politics of college sports corners them both, all their old wounds resurface. This time, can she learn to trust, and can he learn that not everything needs to be a performance?
