But when brooding rival enforcer Maverick Stone puts her ex in the hospital during a heated rivalry game, he creates a PR nightmare that could cost him everything. The solution? Make the world believe he did it for her. Now Taylor is forced to pretend she’s in love with the quiet, intense rival who once lived three houses down, the same man who’s slowly ruining her for anyone else. Because the more time she spends with Maverick, the more his protection, his touch, and his heated stares feel dangerously real. He ruined her ex on the ice. Now he wants to ruin her… and she might just let him.
