A closeted hockey captain collides with Toronto's most ruthless mob boss in this spicy m/m romance...and neither man walks away unscathed. When his cousin is assaulted by a professional hockey player, notorious mafia boss Nico Marzano vows to find the man responsible. And he doesn't want an apology. He wants justice- the kind only he can deliver. To get answers, he corners the one man who knows the locker room better than anyone else: team captain Bennett Verreault. Bennett has spent his entire career burying secrets beneath sharp skates, wicked goals and carefully crafted lies. The last thing he needs is a ruthless mob boss showing up at this penthouse, issuing threats...and unsettling smiles. Because Nico sees through him in a way no one else ever has. As the investigation deepens and the season begins to unravel, Bennett discovers a terrifying truth: Toronto's most dangerous man in the city might be the only person who's ever made him feel safe enough to want more. But in two worlds built on violence, masculinity and silence, there's no room for men to fall in love. Nico and Bennett must each decide what they're willing to sacrifice for justice, for loyalty and for each other. Because in this game, love isn't just a penalty. It's a death sentence.
