Ruthless Game: a dark college hockey romance

By Jo Brenner

The rugged, blue-eyed, easygoing hockey player was once the love of my life. Now all David Lawson wants is revenge.

Reina University's star goalie thinks I betrayed him, when he's the one who betrayed me-and destroyed my heart.

I've tried to move on. But Lawson's determined to get me out of his system, one dark, depraved, intensely exhilarating act at a time. I can't resist him, and not just because he's threatening to expose secrets about my brother that could ruin his life.

Lawson's not the boy I knew. Between his cruel touch that sets me on fire and moments of tenderness that crumble the walls around my heart, I no longer know which way is up.

All I know is I won't go down without a fight. I'll prove he's wrong about me. About everything.

But even if Lawson realizes his mistake, it may be too late-because an enemy is waiting in the shadows, eager to destroy us both.

Ruthless Game is a second chance, dark hockey romance with lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers, found family, and an unhinged, obsessive, possessive MMC who will sacrifice everything to keep his FMC safe. It contains several dark themes that some readers may be sensitive to. For more information, please visit the author's website at jobrenner dot com.
