Cassie Monroe wants nothing more than to survive college, graduate as a medical student and prove to her aunt that she's not the monster everyone claimed she is. But all of that shatters the night she saves her best friend's brother and secret crush on ice, only to spark something terrifying and impossible.  Knox Black, captain of Bridgestone’s Icefang hockey team and heir to the Blackwood pack, has spent years searching for the mate who can save his cursed wolf. He never expects her to be human. Claiming her will cost her life. Rejecting her is killing him.  Cassie doesn't know that werewolves exist and doesn't understand why Knox glares at her with hatred one moment, then protects her with deadly ferocity the next. But the more she tries to stay away from him, the more fate pulls her back into his world and dark family secrets that can destroy them both.  This story is a heart-pounding college romance full of forbidden passion, fated mates, betrayal and a love strong enough to defy fate itself. 

This is the first book in an 8 book series of hockey romances. All 8 books have an underlying theme of ‘life after loss’. My first book is about Natasha, a librarian in her 40s who lost a sibling as a teenager and never healed, preventing her from ever finding/committing to love…and the hockey coach who is twice divorced and has given up his dreams of ever finding his match and having a family-until he meets Natasha…. Will Coach Alex's love (along with his superior skills in the sack) be enough to break down the walls Natasha has held firm for over two decades? The 8 books go through the different players of the team, all having their own versions of loss to overcome, with the captain (Adam) being married to a woman (who happens to be a teacher at Natasha's school) who has a terminal illness and will eventually commit suicide in book 6 and the series ends with Adam's own second chance love story….
