Isla. I should have seen it coming—the betrayal, the heartbreak, the way my world would shatter in an instant. But nothing could prepare me for walking in on my long-term boyfriend tangled up with his co-host. Now, love is off the table. Trust? Even more so. Then Jared Crowder makes me an offer I should refuse. He wants revenge just as much as I do. After all, he’s spent years in love with Ava—my sister. And that didn’t stop him from secretly seeing her behind his brother’s back. Now she’s chosen Kash, and Jared is done playing nice. The plan is fake a relationship, show the world we’ve moved on, and make them both regret ever hurting us. The only problem? Some lies feel dangerously real. Jared. I’ve spent my career getting inside people’s heads. It’s how I dominate on the ice. But Isla Sawyer? She’s always been the one person I couldn’t figure out. My childhood rival. The girl who knew exactly how to get under my skin. The one I never saw coming. For years, I chased the wrong woman. I told myself Ava was the one, even when she chose my brother. But the second Isla and I strike a deal, everything shifts. The chemistry we’ve spent a lifetime ignoring ignites, and suddenly, pretending with her feels easier than remembering why we started this in the first place. She’s stubborn, infuriating, and hell-bent on keeping me at arm’s length. But I’ve played this game long enough to know when an opponent is bluffing. And Isla? She’s seconds away from falling for the one person she swore she never would—me. Fractured Faceoff is a standalone dark hockey romance featuring a fiery fake dating enemies-to-lovers dynamic, a revenge pact that spirals out of control, and the kind of tension that blurs the lines between fake and real. It has a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger. less
