“Say it,” Matteo murmured. “Say what?” “That you hate me.” Ezra swallowed. “I don’t know how.” — Matteo Antonov built an empire on grief.

Years later, that name belongs to Ezra Roman, a gifted athlete whose future is bright until Matteo buys his team and dismantles his life piece by piece.

Forced into Matteo’s world, Ezra learns that cruelty and protection can wear the same face. Their battles turn intimate, their silences thrum with something neither of them will name. As secrets unravel, Matteo uncovers a truth that shatters his vengeance, Ezra was never guilty. The real enemy has been hiding in his own bloodline. By the time Matteo is ready to choose love over revenge, the price may be Ezra’s freedom… or his life.

The ice doesn’t lie. Neither does the hunger. Isaac Corres is done being the quiet shadow behind a hockey superstar. When Derek Coleman dumped him in the middle of a championship run, he didn't just break Isaac’s heart—he ignited a war. Isaac isn't looking for a rebound; he’s looking for leverage. And he finds it in the most dangerous man on the ice: Santiago Vega. Santiago is the Warhawks’ Enforcer—a predator in pads, a wolf who doesn't play by the rules and certainly doesn't do "romance." He’s a wall of muscle, cold authority, and suppressed rage. When Isaac approaches him with a proposition for a fake, high-stakes rivalry to humiliate the man who betrayed them both, Santiago doesn’t refuse. He takes the bait with a growl. But the line between strategy and instinct is razor-thin. In the neon-soaked, frozen tunnels of the San Antonio Ice Arena, their deal turns into a scorched-earth affair. Every stare is a challenge; every touch is a claim. Santiago is used to controlling the fire in his blood, but Isaac’s defiance is the one thing he can’t break—or stop craving. As the series heats up and the physical toll of their "arrangement" turns into a primal, 18+ game of dominance and surrender, Isaac realizes the truth: Santiago Vega wasn't looking for a pawn. He was looking for a mate. The cameras are watching. The fans are screaming. And on the ice, where the air is thin and the secrets are lethal, Isaac is about to find out exactly what happens when an Alpha decides he’s done sharing. One goal. Two hearts on the chopping block. And a heat that’s about to shatter the ice.
