Hockey became my sanctuary, a refuge from the chaos of my troubled home. But stepping onto the ice that fateful day thrust me into an unexpected rivalry. Grayson Hayes. Captain of our rival team, embodied everything I despised. Our clashes were fueled by a deep-rooted hatred.
Beneath the surface, a dangerous tension simmered, but there was more to our rivalry than met the eye. Grayson had ruthlessly crippled my brother, shattering his dreams with a single calculated move on the ice. The sight of my brother's shattered spirit fueled a relentless need for revenge that burned deep within me. Now, I was prepared to sacrifice everything to make Grayson pay.
Driven by a thirst for retribution, I pursued Grayson, determined to force him to his knees for the pain he inflicted. But as the lines between predator and prey blur, a chilling realization dawns upon me-I am the one being played.
The fiery passion I once held for revenge transforms into an insatiable craving for Grayson himself. Desperate to resist, I grapple with conflicting emotions and the unraveling of a sinister plot that goes deeper than our bitter rivalry. Will I succumb to the devastating consequences of my own desires? Or could I emerge triumphant, not only on the ice but also in the arms of my sworn enemy?
