Yet the way she looks at him, the way her perfume lingers in the air, makes resisting her impossible. Now, every glance, every brush of her hand, tests the limits of his control. How long can the beast deny the one woman who makes him feel alive?

But every time their bodies collide on the ice, Dorian can’t deny the pull. It’s infuriating, maddening…and addictive. He doesn’t want to want Noah, but when their rivalry shifts from Icy stares to scalding touches, Dorian is forced to confront a truth he’s spent years skating away from: sometimes, the person you hate the most is the only one who truly sees you.
