Part of Series

I’d worked hard to escape the penalty box life had placed me in. I started somewhere new, giving Reese and myself a clean slate. I found a job I loved and met three guys who made me feel alive. I should’ve been prepared for life to smack me upside the head again, but in my defense, I’d been a little distracted by my hot roommates and trying to win games. My life had become a mess, and I didn’t know where to start. Everyone wanted something from me, and it was hard to know whom to trust. The one thing I thought I could count on was hockey, but it no longer felt safe—not after the secrets and lies I’d uncovered. The pressure was suffocating, and I knew I had to make a choice soon and pray it wasn’t wrong… or someone might end up dead. Hockey was meant to be only a game, but this time, it looked like we were playing for keeps. This is book 2 in the series. Penalty Box must be read first. This book does end on a cliffhanger. This is a contemporary why-choose hockey romance intended for 18+ due to language and content. This book deals with some dark themes that might be triggering. Please read the foreword for more details
