Tessa Rourke used to be the alpha of the Saltmarsh pack, the fastest center on the Southern Coast and the loudest mouth in any locker room. Then a scandal she did not cause wiped out her pack in a single week, and now she is an alpha with no territory, no team and a reputation that follows her like a bad smell. Every Southern club has blacklisted her, and she has been paying rent by coaching kids on a rink that leaks.
Then a contract arrives from the north. Frostmere, the proudest club in the Northern Reach, wants her on its top line, no questions asked, and Tessa is desperate enough to sign before reading the fine print. The fine print, naturally, is where the trouble lives.
Her new captain is Jarrett Locke, a cold, controlled Northern alpha who has never lost a faceoff and never shown a feeling. The moment they touch, his wolf names her as his mate, and both of them are furious about it. She is a disgraced Coast rogue and he is the golden son of the Reach, and their packs have hated each other for a century.
Tessa has one season to prove she belongs on the ice, one captain she cannot stop arguing with, and one secret to uncover. The north is paying a fortune to hide the one alpha the south wants back, and she intends to find out why.
