Lethal Penalty: A Dark Hockey Romance (THE CHICAGO VIPERS #4)
Vexi Thorne
He’s the monster on the ice. She’s the only one who can tame him.
They call him The Rook. Bishop Kincaid isn’t just a hockey player. He’s a weapon on skates. Silent. Lethal. The Chicago Vipers’ most feared Enforcer with a past that is darker than the penalty box. He doesn’t do interviews, he doesn’t do smiles, and he definitely doesn’t do relationships.
I’m Isla Varga. The PR crisis manager. The Coach’s daughter. The woman tasked with cleaning up the team’s image. My job was simple: Make the Enforcer look like a hero. I wasn't supposed to see the broken man behind the armor. I wasn't supposed to crave the touch of hands that are known for violence.
But when a stalker targets me, the game changes instantly. Bishop appoints himself my personal guard. He whisks me away to a secluded cabin in the frozen woods. Just the two of us. No cell service. No cameras. No rules.
He warns me that he’s a monster. He says he’s too damaged to be loved, and that if I get too close, I’ll get burned. But as the snow piles up outside and the fire burns hot inside, I realize the truth. The world might think Bishop Kincaid is the villain. But when the threat comes knocking at our door... he’s the only hero I want.
LETHAL PENALTY is a high-heat dark hockey romance. It features a brooding, touch-starved protector, a "touch her and die" vibe, and a hard-won Happily Ever After.
