And one forbidden kiss changes everything. Cruz Navarro doesn't do relationships. He does highlight reels, sold-out arenas, and keeping puck bunnies at arm's length. The last person he'd ever fall for? Scarlett Montgomery—the ice princess who just became his boss. She's the team owner's daughter. The new Assistant GM with something to prove. The woman who's looked down on him since day one. She's also completely, devastatingly off-limits. Scarlett has worked too hard to let anyone undermine her authority. Especially not Cruz Navarro, the cocky goalie who makes her blood boil with a single smirk. She has no personal relationships with players. No scandals. No distractions. Then they kiss at the Christmas party. It's supposed to be a mistake. One drunken moment they'll both forget. Except neither of them can stop thinking about it. About each other. About what happens when the enemy becomes something far more dangerous. A secret relationship. Stolen moments. The chemistry they can't deny. But in the brutal world of professional hockey, secrets don't stay buried. Her father would fire him to protect her reputation. The media would destroy her credibility. And loving each other could cost them everything they've worked for. Some rules are made to be broken. Some risks are worth taking. Some love stories are worth fighting for. Can they keep their hearts on ice, or will this forbidden romance melt everything they've built? less

The last thing she needs is a scandal that could destroy everything she's worked for... moreShe's the new general manager who swore she'd never date a player. He's the cocky goaltender who's been her enemy for three years. One kiss at the Christmas party changes everything. Scarlett Montgomery fought hard to earn her place in hockey management—not as the owner's daughter, but on her own merit. The last thing she needs is a scandal that could destroy everything she's worked for. Especially not with Cruz Navarro, the infuriating star goalie who's made it his mission to get under her skin since the day they met. Cruz knows Scarlett is completely off-limits. She's his boss. His owner's daughter. The one woman in the world he absolutely cannot have. Which is exactly why he can't stop thinking about that desperate, heated kiss that never should have happened. When they agree to a secret relationship with an expiration date, the rules are no one can know, and they walk away after the season ends. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend this is just temporary. Cruz isn't playing games anymore—he's falling in love with the woman who could cost him his career. Scarlett has a choice to the professional reputation she's spent years building, or the man who sees past every wall she's built. Going public could destroy them both. Staying secret is tearing them apart. But love doesn't play by the rules. And neither do they. Can a relationship built on secrets survive in the spotlight? Or will the cost of loving each other be more than either of them can pay? less
