“Get on your knees and beg me to keep your secret.”
Kieran has spent years hiding his weakness. To everyone else, he’s the fearless captain of the school’s hockey team, the Alpha everyone admires. But beneath the jersey is a body slowly betraying him. He suffers from a rare condition that makes his pheromones smell like death and leaves him trapped in dangerous heats. If anyone discovers the truth, he could lose his reputation, his captaincy, and everything he has worked for.
Then Kieran catches his girlfriend Layla, with Mason, the one player he can never stand to lose against. Their rivalry has always been vicious, but after their explosive confrontation, something impossible happens. Mason wakes up with a mysterious mating mark. When he discovers the same mark on Kieran, neither of them can deny the truth.
They are fated mates.
Kieran wants nothing to do with the bond, Mason is his rival and the last person he would ever trust. But Mason soon discovers Kieran’s greatest secret, the condition he has desperately hidden. Now Mason has the power to destroy everything Kieran has built. His solution is simple: if Kieran wants his secret protected, he must obey Mason.
What begins as blackmail becomes a dangerous game of control and temptation. Kieran refuses to break, but his uncontrollable heats keep drawing him back to Mason. And the more Mason learns about him, the more possessive he becomes.
As Kieran’s condition worsens and the championship approaches, their secrets threaten to destroy them both. Mason must choose between revenge and protecting the man fate chose for him, while Kieran must decide whether to fight the bond or surrender to his greatest enemy. Sometimes, the person you hate most becomes the one you need.
