If I could, I’d kill Maddox Everleigh.

But he’s famous now, and people would miss him.

Not me, but people.

I haven’t missed him since he walked out of my life so many years ago without so much as a backward glance.

Nope. Haven’t thought about him once.

Not about how his charming grin could make my whole day, or about how I loved him before I knew what love really was.

Now I know better.

I’ve been forced to watch for years through the lens of paparazzi cameras how he’s changed into someone I don’t recognize anymore.

So when he steps back into our small town, I’m tempted to make him suffer. To force him to feel even a fraction of the hurt I did when he left.

Instead, I need his help.

If I have to play nice, I will… for now.

But make no mistake—I’ll never forgive. By the time the dust settles, he’ll regret the day he ever met me.

They say it’s better to give than to receive

But this Christmas, my stepfather plans to take everything.

Cohen Astor is ruthless, dangerously handsome, and impossibly patient. For years, he’s been watching, waiting, biding his time. And now, with every piece of his plan in place, he’s ready to claim what’s his.

Me.

For as long as I can remember, my life has belonged to my mother—I’m a carefully placed piece in her glittering lifestyle empire. But Cohen doesn’t see me as something to be used. He sees me as his obsession, the one thing he’s hungered for in silence, the one temptation he can no longer resist.

But taking me means war—war between my mother and the lawyer who holds the Savage Society’s darkest secrets.

He’s the perfect predator.

The ultimate temptation.

My unholy salvation.

And this holiday, beneath the twinkling lights, I’ll be unwrapped, undone, and utterly his.

Because Cohen didn’t marry my mother for love…

He married her for me.

Legends are made, not born, and I carved mine on ice…

They call me The Hitman. The NHL's dirtiest player. The ender of careers.

On the ice, I'm unapologetically ruthless.

Off the ice, I'm worse.

All it takes is one pissed off message from a stunningly beautiful fan after a brutal game and I'm knocked off balance.

Suddenly, I'm stalking.

Watching.

Obsessed.

Cassidy thinks she knows danger? She hasn't met me yet.

Her ties to Roman Morozov, my on-ice nemesis, only heightens the thrill of the chase.

Stealing his girl is just the beginning.

When our worlds collide at her bar, she issues a challenge that I can't refuse: One game to score a hat trick.

When I do it, she'll be mine.

She's my prize—my fixation.

I'll make her mine, even if it means embracing a new level of darkness. There's nothing I won't do to keep her… and when she finds out what I've done, she'll realize that she's in deeper than she ever imagined.
