Jace only wanted a normal life. He wanted to focus on his sophomore year, play hockey, and keep his head down. Five years ago, his father married into a family that held the keys to their painful past—but the real nightmare begins now, when Jace is suddenly forced to share a luxury apartment with his stepbrother.
Maddox Donovan is everything Jace avoids. He’s arrogant, destructive, and magnetic in all the wrong ways. The exact kind of boy Jace’s late mother warned him about.
Their parents thinks sharing a room will 'bring them closer,' but Jace’s only rule is simple: ignore him. Act like he doesn’t exist.
But rules mean nothing to Maddox. One chaotic night—born from tension between them explodes into a ruthless one-night stand, dragging Jace into a game he never saw coming.
By day, he’s assisting Maddox on the ice. By night, he’s playing his submissive behind closed doors.
It was supposed to end when the semester ended. But as the lines between hate, need, and self-destruction blur, a darker truth looms.
Their parent union wasn't a romance—it was a calculated revenge. And when the secrets of the past finally collide with their forbidden present, it won't just destroy their hockey season, it is meant to burn their new beginning to ashes!
