From a poor underground street fighter, I rose to fame as the world heavyweight boxing champion. No one knew I was also a monster who hunted in the shadows. Trapped in the mafia until my debts were paid. A simple deal held my freedom—unify my belts. It seemed simple until an enchanting British firecracker landed on my lap, knocking me sideways. Wanting her was dangerous for us both, but I took her anyway. Leaving me with the choice, fight for my freedom or hers. When the truth is unmasked, could she still love me? Would love be enough to battle our demons and come out on top?

Hockey comes first. Always has, always will. I've got a one-year contract, 365 days to prove to them I'm worth the investment—which is why I need to stay far away from the woman across the hall.

Now, I'm showing her the real me, but it might not be enough for her.

Happily ever after doesn't exist where I come from, but I crave it just the same. It was a foolproof system. Until Barrett. One night with him was all it took to tear down walls and crack the facade I worked so hard to build.

Jayce Thornton had it all—fame, fortune, and a promising NHL career—until a devastating injury ended everything. Now he's left with nothing but a deep dive into cheap whiskey bottles. When Rosie, his best friend's little sister, shows up begging for his help, he should say no. Instead, he helps her cover up a crime, getting his hands dirty right along with hers. And the closer they get to exposing what really happened, the more they realize they're not just fighting the law—they're fighting their growing feelings for each other too.

But I don't need them to save me. I'm determined to save myself.
