Description
Eli Holmes is an art student who lives by his own rules, but he makes a fatal error when he literally crashes into Alexei Petrov, the Crestwood hockey team’s most feared defenseman. Most people know better than to antagonize a man built like a mountain and fueled by a volatile temper, but Eli isn't one to back down. When he confronts the star athlete, he expects a cold shoulder—not a chaotic attraction that defies all logic.
What begins as a clash of personalities in the classroom quickly spirals into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Alexei is a brute, dark and possessive, and he has no intention of letting Eli slide. But when their fierce animosity erupts into a scorching, unexpected kiss, the lines between hero and villain blur. Eli suddenly finds himself trapped in the orbit of a man who demands his undivided attention and awakens hidden desires he never dared to explore.
As their worlds collide with intense physicality and escalating tension, Eli realizes he’s playing with fire. Alexei Petrov is a savage titan, and surrendering to him might mean total destruction. This gripping MM hockey romance explores the intoxicating pull of opposites, testing boundaries and shattering walls in a story where obsession is just a heartbeat away from devotion.
