Cold Malice: A Dark Hockey Romance
"The ice doesn't care if you bleed. Neither do I."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A masterclass in dark romance. Hudson Vanguard is the ultimate walking red flag, and I am completely obsessed." - Dark Romance BookTok ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Visceral, toxic, and utterly addictive. I couldn't put it down. The hockey captain meets mafia boss energy is unmatched!" - ARC Review
HUDSON I am the captain of the Vanguard hockey franchise. I am a billionaire. I am the apex predator of this city, both on the ice and in the underground. I don't negotiate, and I don't feel. Until I saw her. Hazel is a fragile, desperate collateral damage, hiding in a rotting apartment because her father owes eighty thousand dollars to a Russian syndicate. They want her life. But they didn't realize she was already mine. I bought her father's debt. I slaughtered her monsters. And now, I am going to lock her in a titanium vault, completely isolated from the world, until she realizes she belongs to me. Body, soul, and biology.
HAZEL I thought the mafia was the worst thing that could happen to me. I was wrong. Hudson Vanguard saved my life, only to trap me in a cage of dark obsession and unimaginable wealth. He is violent, morally bankrupt, and entirely unapologetic. He demands my absolute submission. He demands to rewrite my entire existence. I should be terrified of the monster who wears custom suits and carries heavy firearms. But the terrifying truth? The darkness inside him is pulling me under, and I don't want to be rescued.
COLD MALICE is a pitch-black, obsessive hockey romance. It features a morally bankrupt male lead, forced proximity, intense possessive behavior, "touch her and you die" vibes, and explicit breeding tropes. There is NO soft redemption arc. For the girls who root for the villain, even when he locks the door.
