Description

Cocky hockey phenom Andrew Lockhart has never met a rule he didn't want to break—or a man he didn't want to take.
Disciplined Marine cadet Wyatt Garrison lives by control, command, and rigid order.

They're oil and fire—forced into close quarters while building a brutal new leadership training program that pits ego against discipline, instinct against strategy. Andrew pushes. Wyatt resists. Every glare lingers too long. Every argument crackles with heat neither of them is willing to name.

Until one explosive moment blows their self-control to hell.

What starts as a heated rivalry turns explosive. Wyatt shows Andrew the intoxicating power of delayed gratification. Andrew drags Wyatt into the thrill of surrender. Together, they burn fast, hard, and dangerously close to the edge—until jealousy, pride, and ambition tear them apart.

Two years later, Andrew is a star on the ice… and unraveling off it.
Wyatt is everything the Marine Corps promised he'd be—except over the one man he never stopped wanting.

When fate throws them back into each other's orbit, the tension is sharper, the desire darker, and the stakes higher than ever. This time, walking away isn't an option.

No more denial.
No more restraint.
No more pretending this isn't exactly what it is--inevitable.

A heated rivals-to-lovers, enemies-to-lovers, second-chance romance packed with obsession, dominance, explosive chemistry, and a love that demands a rematch.
