READING AGE 18+
On the ice, it’s all about control. About strategy. About never showing weakness. Gabriel knows this better than anyone. A hockey star in Montreal, his life revolves around discipline, speed… and keeping his heart out of the game. Because feeling means losing, and he never loses. Until she arrives. Emma isn’t part of the team, but she ends up becoming indispensable. Smart, determined, and possessing a disarming composure, she steps into his world without asking for permission… and starts changing the rules. What begins as a professional arrangement soon turns into something far more dangerous: an irresistible attraction, glances that say too much, and silences that weigh heavier than any defeat. But in a sport where every play counts, falling in love might be the biggest risk of all. Between crucial games, secrets threatening to come to light, and a past neither can erase, Gabriel and Emma will have to decide whether it’s worth risking everything… or if some games are better left unplayed. Because on the ice, winning is everything. But off of it… the heart doesn't follow the rules.
