Vernal break is over, and I’m back at Willowmere College with more witches in my coven, stronger magic, and a growing reputation as the warlock nobody saw coming. Too bad the Witches Council thinks I’m too dangerous to let roam free. Now I’m facing questions I don’t know how to answer—about my lineage, my power, and a past I didn’t even know I had.

Athletes are notoriously superstitious. Some don't wash their gear. Others sleep with it. I've even heard of a guy who peed on the field to ward off evil spirits. But as far as I'm aware, my teammate Luca is the only guy whose ritual requires a more intimate activity. I wouldn't know that if I hadn't stumbled into it by accident, and even then, I wouldn't have thought my presence had any effect. But the next day he got on the ice and had one of the most spectacular games I've seen him play. One of his best ever. And it gives me an idea.

On the surface, I've got it all. I'm the starting goalie and captain of the Colorado Bulldogs hockey team. I've got more money than I know what to do with. I can count an entire team of elite athletes as my friends. And according to the pundits, I'm an eligible bachelor. That's the image everyone sees, but it's just a role I play, a part dictated by my career. So, those questions I have about why I don't crave sexual contact the way my teammates do, questions I'm afraid to ask with the world watching… I decided a long time ago it didn't make sense to look for answers until after I retired.

Nothing burns like love. And I've been through the flames once already, so that's been there, done that situation. Not looking to fall in love means I want one thing only—a gorgeous woman in my arms, and an empty bed by sunrise. Until I meet Hannah Everson at a virginity auction, and buy her to be my wife. Because that's how this ends. Gorgeous, innocent Hannah never stood a chance against a kingpin like me.

Since I was six years old, my world has revolved around two things: Carter Lockwood and hockey. We made a pact in college before we turned pro to always put each other first. To make each other our priority, but being in love with your straight best friend can make that hard, especially when you have to watch them fall in love with someone else. I don't want to break my best friend's heart to save my own, but I need to put some space between us to save our friendship. Only this time, it's not just the defensive zone I'm protecting, but also my heart.

I messed up. One too many shots in Las Vegas, and I wake up with the hangover from hell, a man in my bed, and a ring on my finger. The only problem is that the man in my bed is my family's enemy, and… he's naked. All we need is to annul this mistake of a marriage, and we can go back to our lives as if this never happened… or so I thought.

I've always been the dutiful son, living my life for everyone else but me. So, walking in on my fiancée with someone else during our engagement party should have filled me with devastation, but instead, I felt relieved. When a drunken message to the woman whose heart I broke all those years ago comes back with a reply, will this be the second chance I've always hoped for, or is it too late?
