Hockey Heat and Redemption
He was drafted to be hockey's next superstar-until his temper, his secrets, and his hunger for the wrong things nearly destroyed him.
Jace Mercer has everything the league loves: a stunning face, elite talent, and the kind of raw skill that can light up an arena. But behind the highlight-reel plays and golden-boy hype is a young player unraveling fast. His fists fly too often, his emotions run too hot, and the desires he's spent years burying keep pulling him closer to the edge. After one too many fights and one scandal too many, Jace is shipped down to a small-town minor league team to "develop"-a move that feels more like exile than redemption.
In Pine Ridge, nobody cares about his reputation. The coaches won't protect him, the locker room won't worship him, and the local bar becomes the one place he can't seem to stay away from. Behind the counter is Eli-confident, sharp-eyed, and impossible to ignore. Their chemistry is instant, dangerous, and anything but casual. What begins as pure heat soon turns into something far more intimate, forcing Jace to confront the truth about what he wants when the lights are off-and who he wants when the game is over.
