Four years of hatred. One impossible trade. A desire neither can deny. Jaxon Cross and Kieran Blake have been enemies since juniors—vicious rivals who've built careers on destroying each other on the ice. Their fights are legendary. Their hatred, undeniable. Until Kieran gets traded to Jax's team. Now they're linemates. Roommates on road trips. Unavoidable. And the razor-thin line between hate and want finally shatters in a hotel hallway at 2 AM. What starts as one explosive night becomes an addiction neither can quit. The sex is rough, desperate, and everything Jax has been craving for years. But keeping it secret means playing enemies in public while falling dangerously hard in private. And when Jax is injured on the ice, Kieran's violent protectiveness threatens to expose everything they've been hiding. Now Jax has a push Kieran away to save his career, or risk everything for the man he swore he'd always hate. In hockey, the biggest fights happen off the ice. A steamy enemies-to-lovers MM romance featuring rival hockey players, forced proximity, high heat, emotional intensity, and a hard-won HEA. Contains explicit content, violence, and two stubborn men who communicate better with their fists (and other body parts) than their words.
