Carina never thought her thirties would bring her back to her parents’ house, her own plans stalled while her younger brother chases the spotlight. Most days blur into the same routine early mornings, freezing bleachers, and endless hours at the rink. She feels invisible, until one unexpected encounter shifts the ground beneath her.

On the ice, he’s ruthless and fast. Off the ice, he’s even harder to ignore a rival player with sharp eyes and a presence that makes her pulse stumble. There’s something about him that doesn’t feel entirely human. She knows she should walk away, but want has a way of drowning out caution.

As Carina steps closer, she’s drawn into a world she never imagined. Shadows trail her family, secrets sharpen around her, and the man she can’t resist may be tied to it all.

Can she trust the one who stirs her blood, or will the darkness he carries pull her under?
