‎‎The night she was ordered to pull the trigger, she discovered his father was the target. ‎‎She had killed before. Clean. Silent. Unquestioned. ‎This time, her hands shook. ‎‎By day, she is a transfer student no one dares to approach—smart, composed, feared for reasons no one can name. By night, she works for the most powerful criminal in the city. Her father trained her to be ruthless, emotionless, and loyal. Love was never part of the plan. After the loss of his sister at seven, Connor became a reckless bad boy, throwing himself into parties, girls, and anything that could distract him from his pain. ‎‎A star hockey player with a perfect public image and a private life in ruins. Rich, talented, and one academic failure away from losing everything. What the world does not see is the nightmares he fought, the secrets he buried, and the past he refuses to confront. ‎‎He found her interesting, determined to get her like he did with other girls, to tame her. But how can you tame a lion? After failing countless times, destiny brought them together. We could call it destiny or a strategy. ‎‎What begins as a contract becomes a trap.‎‎Forced together by cameras, schedules, and lies, they clash, resist, and slowly unravel each other. Feelings grow where rules were written. Trust forms where secrets should stay buried. ‎‎But the past is watching. ‎‎‎A younger sister hungry for power and revenge. ‎A father preparing a war that will demand blood. ‎‎As hidden truths creep toward daylight, she is forced to choose between the man she was trained to obey and the man she has fallen in love with. A huge misunderstanding led to their separation. Years later, Snow and Connor meet again. Only this time, they’re no longer the teenagers they once were. The feelings are still there. The wounds never truly healed. And Snow is no longer alone. Because the girl Connor once loved has a child—and he has no idea that the child may be the biggest secret she’s ever kept from him. Sometimes falling in love is easy. **It’s finding your way back to each other that hurts. Because on ice this thin, love is not gentle.‎‎It is dangerous.‎And it always comes at a cost.‎‎---‎‎‎
