Hattie
For years, Ashley Carter was the invisible backbone of Weston's hockey career.
She threw away her dream medical scholarship and worked grueling double shifts as a waitress to fund his training.
But on the night he wins Rookie-of-the-Year, Weston thanks the parents who never supported him.
Worse, he introduces the “cousin” he’d spent years telling Ashley not to worry about as his girlfriend, claiming her Omega status is a liability to his rising fame.
Heartbroken but unbroken, Ashley walks away.
And Weston lets her.
Never realizing he lost the architect behind his entire career.
Desperate for a fresh start, Ashley accepts a physical therapy job with a rival NHL franchise.
The catch?
She’s forced to work alongside the league’s most terrifying Alpha and team captain, Brooks Wayne.
But when an unexpected accident throws them into the spotlight, a PR disaster forces them into a fake-dating contract.
*
Everyone knows Brooks as an arrogant control freak who had his hockey stardom handed to him on a silver platter. He doesn't do relationships, and he certainly doesn't do Omegas.
Brooks thinks Ashley is just another fragile, spoiled-Omega.
Ashley thinks he’s an oversized, insufferable jerk.
But the more they clash, the more Brooks uncovers the woman hiding beneath Ashley's quiet exterior.
And beneath his freezing--Alpha--exterior, Ashley discovers a side of Brooks no one else in the world is allowed to see.
Then Weston finally realizes he threw away the only person who ever truly mattered.
How far will he go to win Ashley back when the biggest, baddest Alpha in the league isn't just standing in his way—
He has absolutely no intention of giving Ashley back.
****
Something's wrong. The ruthless hockey Alpha who doesn't do exclusive relationships suddenly wants his Omega physical therapist in his bed every single night...
