From USA TODAY bestselling author Peyton Corinne comes a second-chance hockey romance between the team’s antihero and the new assistant coach’s daughter filled with Peyton’s trademark “deliciously angsty” (Publishers Weekly) storytelling.
Toren Kane has always been a magnet for trouble. Branded as dangerous and brutal, his reputation has followed him from the playground to the ice rink. After a scandal cost him his first-round NHL draft pick, Toren’s last shot at redemption lies with Waterfell University’s hockey team—who all despise him for what he did to their captain at the last Frozen Four competition. To make matters worse, Waterfell’s new assistant coach is Christophe LaBlanc, Toren’s former coach and the man who knows all his darkest secrets.
Lillian LaBlanc is out of chances, according to her father. After flunking out of an Ivy League, she’s struggling and her father’s strict rules are the only things keeping her afloat. Suffering beneath the weight of his suffocating control, Lily is desperate to keep her need to paint as hidden as her depression. But her fragile stability is threatened when she discovers that Toren Kane, her childhood best friend and first love, is also attending Waterfell—and is on her father’s team.
As Toren and Lily’s lives collide once more, old wounds and unresolved feelings resurface. Toren must confront his self-destructive tendencies and learn to let others in, while Lily faces the daunting task of breaking free from her father’s grip. Their connection could be the key to healing—or the spark that reignites the chaos they’ve both been trying to escape.
