LOGINOn the night of our third anniversary, I caught my girlfriend in bed with my best friend, the flowers were still in my hands. The ring was still in my pocket. And the people I trusted most looked me in the eye and laughed. One night was all it took to destroy three years of love, friendship, and loyalty. By morning, I had lost everything. My relationship, My best friend, My reputation. Even my place on the hockey team I'd sacrificed everything for. Then he showed up. Noah Knight. The Hockey King, The captain of the rival team. The man I've hated for years. Arrogant, Untouchable, Infuriating. The last person I wanted anywhere near me. But when the entire world turned its back on me, Noah refused to walk away. He kept appearing when I needed him most. He kept protecting me when I never asked him to. And the deeper I fell into the mess surrounding my cheating ex, the more I realized Noah was hiding dangerous secrets of his own. Secrets that connected him to my past. Secrets that could destroy everything I thought I knew. Including the truth about why the man I hated seemed incapable of letting me go. In a world of hockey, betrayal, rivalry, obsession, and buried truths, one question refuses to leave me alone: Why does my enemy care so much about me? And what happens when I discover that the line between hatred and love was never there to begin with? A gripping BL hockey romance filled with betrayal, enemies-to-lovers tension, emotional healing, jealousy, secrets, obsession, and a slow-burning love story that will keep you turning pages late into the night.

The timestamp in the corner read:11:47 P.M.Less than two minutes ago. I slammed the brakes, and the truck skidded to the side of the empty street, tires screeching against the asphalt. "No..."The SUV behind me shot past without slowing down, they hadn't been following me anymore. But they wanted me distracted and I had fallen for it. I gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white.Think fast, panicking wouldn't help Liam.I enlarged the photograph. And there, in the reflection of the hallway mirror behind Liam…a shadow, barely visible.Someone standing just outside his apartment door, watching and waiting.They hadn't gone inside, not yet. My heart hammered against my ribs.I grabbed my pho
The WatcherNoah's POVLiam looked exactly where I told him not to.The moment his apartment lights silhouetted him against the window, I saw his head turn to the black SUV parked across the street. Damn it. I tightened my grip on the steering wheel."They've made him," I muttered. From my position half a block away, I had a clear view of both Liam's building and the SUV. The tinted windows had been there for nearly twenty minutes before he got home.They hadn't followed him from the charity scrimmage, but they'd arrived first. Waiting and watching. The anonymous file had reached him, and that changed everything.I ended the call before Liam could ask another question. If he kept talking, they'd know we were connected, and that was the last thing I could allow.I started the truck but didn't move, not yet.Because, patience had kept Liam alive this long. And one reckless move could destroy months of work.Across the street, the driver's door of the SUV opened again, and the man in the
The Secret FileLiam's POVThe third knock hit through my apartment, slow, measured and patient. Whoever stood outside wasn't pounding on the door like an impatient visitor, but they were waiting for me.I tightened my grip on my hockey stick and moved to the entrance, careful not to make a sound. Every instinct screamed that opening the door was a mistake, but pretending no one was home wouldn't make them disappear.I stopped beside the peephole, I looked through it, there's nothing and the hallway was empty. A knot formed in my stomach, and I unlocked the door just enough to pull it open a few inches."Hello?" I asked, but silence answered me.The corridor stretched in both directions under the pale fluorescent lights, there were no footsteps, no voices and no one at sight.I opened the door wider, but still nothing, no sign of anyone. But then my eyes dropped to the floor, where a small black envelope rested inside the welcome mat.It hadn't been there seconds ago, I stepped into t
THE SECRET FILEI did not sleep. I sat at my kitchen counter with the folder open in front of me and I went through every single page. Once, then twice, then a third time because my brain kept refusing to fully process what my eyes were reading.The photos were dated. The earliest one was from fourteen months ago. Mia outside a restaurant in the city center, laughing, her hand on the arm of a man I did not recognize. The next photo was from a week later. Same man, different location, then more. A hotel lobby, and a parking garage. A coffee shop where she and I had gone on our first date, which felt like a specific kind of cruelty.I turned to the printed messages.They were between Mia and the same man. I read through them slowly. My chest felt like something was sitting on it, heavy and immovable. The messages were not ambiguous. They were not friendly. They were the messages of two people who had been deeply involved for a long time, and woven through them, in ways that took me a f
