Adrian Cross is the captain everyone wants and the man nobody truly knows. Cold, arrogant, and untouchable, he rules the college hockey team with an iron grip. On the ice, he never loses control. Off it, he has spent three years burying a secret that could destroy everything he has worked for. Then Sloane Bennett arrives. Sloane did not transfer to Blackthorn University to fall for a hockey captain. She came looking for answers about an accident that changed lives and left too many questions unanswered. The deeper she digs, the more she discovers that Adrian Cross was there that night. He knows what happened. And he has never told the truth. Forced into an arrangement that keeps them close, Sloane begins to see the man behind Adrian’s icy stare. Beneath his arrogance lies guilt, beneath his silence lies fear, and beneath the tension between them is an attraction neither can afford. But someone knows what Sloane is investigating. Evidence disappears. Anonymous warnings grow darker. And when a message from the past appears where she should feel safest, she realizes that uncovering the truth could cost her far more than her heart. Adrian must choose between protecting the secret that has haunted him for years and telling the truth to the one woman he cannot bear to lose. Because some secrets can destroy a team. Some can ruin a life. And some can turn love into the most dangerous game of all.
