An all-new steamy and angsty Ice Hockey Romance from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Tracy Lorraine.

Hayden Monroe. Hockey god. Far too innocent for me.

When I secured my job with the LA Vipers franchise, I was running—running from my past and a pain that never stopped chasing me.

LA was supposed to be a fresh start, but the nightmares still haunt me. And the second I look into Hayden’s eyes, I see the same pain staring back.

He’s too young, too good, too sweet to carry grief like that. But it’s too late. The damage has been done, and there’s nothing I can do to change it. I should stay away. He needs to focus on the new season.

But I can’t. I know that kind of loss. What it is to survive it alone.

So I tell myself I’m only helping him through the worst of it. But somewhere along the way, that line blurs. Now, I don’t just want to keep him afloat— I want to be the thing he holds onto. While I fight with every reason we can’t be together, Hayden doesn’t care about any of them.

He just wants me. But can I give him that?
