Amy has spent eight years trapped in an orbit she cannot escape, the life of Diego, her father’s best friend. Since she could remember , Amy has watched him from the shadows: a retired hockey legend with a cold, impenetrable aura that only seems to thaw in her presence. What began as a childhood fascination has morphed into a dark, all consuming obsession. Living in the quiet, agonizing intervals between his visits, Amy has carefully cataloged every gift, every glance, and every secret he has ever shared with her. But as she steps into adulthood, the boundaries between family loyalty and forbidden desire begin to shatter. With her father, Joe, oblivious to the simmering tension, Amy is tired of waiting on the sidelines. She is no longer the girl who needs to be placated; she is a woman who has learned how to be a blade, willing to cut through anyone who stands between her and the man she knows belongs to her. In a world defined by unspoken pacts and dangerous devotion, Amy is ready to prove that even a man as dominant as Diego can be brought to his knees. It’s time for him to realize that the heart he’s been toying with for years was never meant to be played with and that he has finally screwed up.
