She came for the truth. He came for her. Mara Foks arrived at Northfield University with one goal: find out what really happened to her best friend Lev, who died eighteen months ago in a tragic accident. She has a scholarship, a blog, and a burning need for justice. She doesn't need anything else.
Especially not Cole Ashford.
Cole is everything Mara despises-Northfield royalty, hockey captain, heir to the family that built the university. He's cold, controlled, and watching her with an intensity she can't explain. He knows things about Lev's death that he shouldn't. He knows things about Mara that she never told anyone.
He was tracking her before she arrived.
He's been reading her blog for months.
He says he wants to help. He says they want the same thing.
But Cole Ashford doesn't do anything without a price. And the deal he offers Mara is simple: he'll give her access to the truth-if she gives him access to her.
One dinner a week. A conversation that has nothing to do with the investigation. The kind of intimacy that feels less like a bargain and more like a trap.
Because the truth about Lev's death is darker than Mara imagined. And the Order of the Northern Gate-the secret society that operates in the shadows of Northfield-will do anything to keep its secrets buried.
Even if that means burying Mara along with them. Cold Rink is a dark romance that asks: How far would you go for the truth? And how much would you risk for someone who's been watching you from the shadows? This is not a safe romance. The hero in this book does things that are controlling. He withholds information. He makes decisions that are not his to make. The narrative does not present these behaviors as ideal-it presents them as real. If you want a love story about two broken people learning to trust-and the cost of choosing each other anyway-this book is for you.
