His Forbidden Obsession: Tempting The Devil I Can't Have
He was never supposed to matter.
Jace Ryder was a risk—reckless, ruined, and one mistake away from disappearing for good. Hockey was his only future… until the accident took it from him, leaving behind nothing but rumors and a reputation already falling apart.
Nyra Hale doesn’t believe in accidents.
She believes in strategy.
With two months left before she’s forced into a life she didn’t choose, Nyra needs chaos—something powerful enough to fracture the perfect image her father built. And Jace? He’s exactly the kind of damage she can control.
Her offer is simple:
She rebuilds his career.
He plays the role of her boyfriend.
Publicly, they’re irresistible—fire and chemistry no one can ignore.
Privately, it’s a negotiation neither of them fully controls.
Because Jace isn’t as broken as she thought.
And Nyra isn’t as untouchable as she pretends.
What starts as a calculated game turns into something dangerously real—late nights, lingering touches, the kind of tension that doesn’t stay fake for long. And when buried truths surface—about the accident, about betrayal, about who’s been pulling the strings—the line between control and surrender begins to blur.
Someone wanted Jace gone.
Someone close.
And as everything unravels, Nyra and Jace are forced to decide:
Was this ever just a game…
or were they always meant to lose themselves in it?

Chapter: 5Chapter 5: The Game Without MeJace's Pov I did not go to the final match.At first, it was not even a decision. I was still in the hospital, and the doctors made it clear that I was not going anywhere. Even if I had wanted to leave, I would not have been allowed to. My body was still recovering, and every movement reminded me of that.Still, I knew exactly when the game started.I had been thinking about it all day.Mason came by earlier than usual, and he did not ask if I wanted to watch it. He already knew the answer. He set his phone up on the small table beside my bed and pulled up the live stream without saying much.“You do not have to,” he said.“I know,” I replied.But I was already watching.The rink looked the same as it always did. The lights, the crowd, the energy, nothing had changed. That was the part that bothered me the most. Everything was still moving forward like I had never been part of it.The team walked onto the ice, and I felt it immediately.Something was of

Chapter: 4Chapter 4: After the Crash Jace's Pov When I opened my eyes, everything felt wrong.The first thing I noticed was the light. It was too bright, and it made it hard to focus. I tried to move, but a sharp pain shot through my body, forcing me to stop immediately. For a few seconds, I stayed still, trying to understand where I was and what had happened.Then it came back to me.The road, the headlights, the impact.I inhaled slowly, but even that felt uncomfortable. My chest tightened, and I realized I was lying flat on something firm. The smell around me was clean and sharp, and that was when I understood.I was in a hospital.I turned my head slightly, and the movement made the pain worse, but I forced myself to keep going. The room was quiet except for the steady sound of a machine somewhere close by. I followed the sound until my eyes landed on a monitor beside the bed.For a moment, I just stared at it.Then I noticed someone sitting near me.My mother.She was leaning forward sli

Chapter: 3Chapter 3: The Night Everything Changed Jace's PovI had played enough games to know when everything was going my way, and that night was one of those nights.From the moment I stepped onto the ice, I could feel it. My movements were sharp, my timing was right, and everything seemed to fall into place without me forcing it. The crowd was loud, but I was used to that. It had been like that for a long time, and I knew most of them were there because they expected something from me.I never had a problem giving them that.By the time the game ended, my name was already being shouted from different parts of the rink. My teammates surrounded me, talking over each other, hitting my shoulders, and laughing like we had not just spent the last hour trying to tear through another team.“You carried that last play,” Luca said as he grabbed the back of my jersey. “I swear you do not even try anymore.”“I am trying,” I replied, pushing his hand away. “You just cannot keep up.”He laughed like he

Chapter: 2Chapter 2: The SetupNyra's Pov I did not go home immediately after leaving the rink.I stayed in the parking lot for a while, sitting in the car with the engine off while I watched people walk out of the building. The noise from inside followed them out, and most of them were still talking about the game like it was the only thing that mattered. Some of them were laughing, others were arguing about certain plays, and a few were still calling Jace’s name like he could hear them from outside.I paid attention, but not to what they were saying.I was watching how easily people reacted to him.It was not just about how well he played. It was about how quickly people attached themselves to him, how they looked at him like he was already ahead of everyone else. That kind of attention did not disappear on its own. It had to be redirected.That was the part most people did not understand.I leaned back in my seat and let out a slow breath, going over everything again in my head. I had alrea

Chapter: 1Chapter 1: The First MoveNyra's PovI did not believe in accidents.That was the first thing I reminded myself as I stood behind the glass, watching the game unfold in front of me. The rink was loud, filled with people shouting, clapping, and calling out names, but none of that mattered to me. I was not there for the team, and I was not there for the game. I was there for one person.Jace Ryder.I had heard his name long before I ever saw him play. People talked about him like he was already something bigger than this place, like it was only a matter of time before he left and never looked back. When I finally saw him on the ice, I understood why.He did not play like the others.There was something controlled about him, even in the middle of chaos. He did not rush his movements, and he did not panic under pressure. Every pass, every turn, every decision looked intentional, like he already knew how everything would play out before it happened.That kind of confidence was rare.That k
