Hate Cam: A Dark M/M Enemies to Lovers Hockey Romance
He bought my debt. Now he thinks he owns my body.
ELIAS
To the world, I’m the NHL’s "Golden Boy." The prince of New York. Untouchable.
The truth? I’m a fraud drowning in three million dollars of debt left behind by my father’s gambling addiction.
I have a secret life. At night, I put on a mask and perform for strangers online just to keep the loan sharks away from my mother. It was working—until I got traded.
Now, I’m in Chicago.
Now, I’m living in the fortress of the one man who hates me more than anyone in the league.
Dante Russo. The Captain. The Devil of Chicago.
He hates my playstyle. He hates my face. And when he walks in on me during a private broadcast, I think my life is over.
But Dante doesn’t turn me in. He doesn’t tell the press.
He buys my debt.
And now, he expects me to pay him back.
Not with money. But with submission.
DANTE
I wanted to break Elias Sterling on the ice. I wanted to shatter his perfect, polished facade.
I didn’t expect to find him on his knees in my guest room, wearing a mask and begging for tips.
I should have kicked him out. Instead, I wired three million dollars to a ghost account and bought the deed to his life.
He thinks this is a game. He thinks he can charm his way out of this like he does with the media.
He’s wrong.
He belongs to the Vipers now. He belongs to me.
But when the secrets of my own family start to bleed into our locker room, and the criminal underworld comes to collect more than just money, I realize I might have bought more than I can handle.
I didn't just buy a teammate. I bought an obsession.
And I’ll burn the whole city down before I let anyone else touch what’s mine.

Hate Cam
The premise for this book is good but it jumps all over and characters are brought back after they’ve been eliminated and some characters are brought in that were never mentioned before. The story goes all over the place halfway through. It’s almost like the author just kept extending the story not really knowing where to go.

plot holes and repetitive
So so many plot holes, and almost every chapter towards the end was the same with slight changes it’s like they were copy and pasted then had details added in to make it slightly different
