He’s the team’s captain—strong, empowering, and chivalrous. She’s a decorated veteran—smart, beautiful, and fierce.
I breathe, eat, and sleep hockey. It’s my duty, my honor, my privilege to give all I have to my team, for my team. Lead by example. Leave the pain on the ice, wearing blood and sweat on my jersey with pride.
No sacrifice is too big… or so I thought.
Emmeline knows true sacrifice. Face of an angel. Heart of a warrior. Marine turned coffee shoppe owner, brewing a mean cup of joe kissed by the heavens, protective of her family by choice and those in need of saving.
I thought I knew sacrifice. I had no idea. Em makes me look like an amateur.
And I can’t get enough. I can’t get her out of my head, not that I want to.
But she’s full up. She has no need nor desire for a pro athlete who lives in the limelight and dines with celebrities and politicians.
I face off with the toughest players in the NHL, yet I can’t break the ice around her heart. I’m a warrior of a different kind, and I’m prepared to go to battle for her.

A new team. A clean slate. Storm Cromwell comes to Denver determined to step out of his famous NHL brother’s shadow and prove he belongs on the ice. Hockey is the only thing that matters—until he meets Asher King.
Confident, brilliant, and completely off-limits, Asher is the heiress to Denver’s hockey empire, carrying a legacy heavy enough to crush anyone who dares to touch it. With her grandfather in hospice and a ruthless family war brewing, her future—and the empire itself—hangs by a thread.
Storm should stay focused. Asher should keep her distance. But the pull between them is impossible to ignore. He sees her beyond the name and the power. She sees him as more than a reckless distraction. As loyalty, ambition, and desire collide, they’re forced to choose how much they’re willing to risk.
Letting each other in could cost them everything … but walking away might destroy them both.
