Nazar Rykov has one rule: hate Kaisyn Callahan. It’s always been easy.
To the world, Callahan is hockey’s prettiest problem—an heir to the league’s empire, a walking scandal wrapped in talent and trouble. To Nazar, he’s the bastard who torpedoed his draft-day dreams.
Being forced onto the same team is its own kind of hell. Their brutal on-ice rivalry bleeds into something too heated to control the moment the gear comes off.
But when one desperate clash goes too far, it’s Nazar who slams on the brakes, shattering the moment and sending Kai running. Not just out of the room, but off the team entirely.
Weeks later, he sees the news: Callahan, wearing the jersey he’s wanted his whole life. What was a rivalry is now a personal war.
Underneath the traded insults and media-fueled hatred, a fierce craving still burns, threatening to consume them both. Because Nazar has never been merciful about taking what he wants.
A steamy, high-stakes MM hockey romance. This enemies-to-lovers story features hurt/comfort, found family and an unapologetic black cat MC x grumpy MC. This is the second, expanded edition.
