An enemies to lovers hockey romance by Brooke O’Brien about secrets that could ruin the season, a kiss that never should’ve happened, and two hearts pulled back together by the one thing more powerful than hate... the truth. I never should’ve let Wren Perry get close—not with everything her last name cost mine. She’s the governor’s daughter. Untouchable. Off-limits. A walking reminder of everything I should hate. She was a distraction I had no business touching. The kiss we shared? A cheap shot meant to rattle her brother, not leave a mark. But her lips hit harder than I expected, and the memory stuck like a bruise I can’t shake. I’ve been off my game ever since. Now she’s back in my life, tied to my team in a way I can’t avoid. I don’t trust her. I shouldn’t want her. But every time she looks at me, I forget why I ever let her go. Our season’s already hanging by a thread. Stats don’t match the game footage. Players are faking injuries. And Wren’s dropping clues like she wants to help me find the truth without ever saying a word. They’re waiting for us to fall apart. They think I’ve lost my edge. But I’ve never backed down from a fight. This time, I’m not just playing for my team. I’m playing for our season. For the truth. And for the girl I should’ve hated… but never could. BONUS!
