Powerful men have always known how to hide their secrets and control the narrative.
My job is finding the truth they buried.
I don't fail.
Ryan McAllister, my next assignment. The league's golden boy.
The first time he told me to be careful, he wasn't asking.
He was daring me to come closer.
That was his first mistake.
Captain of the Stampede. Cold blue eyes. Brutal discipline. A man who controls the room, the game, and every dangerous thing inside himself.
Except me.
But the closer I get, the more the approved version falls apart.
He holds everything down, and I'm close enough to watch him do it.
Then he lets it all go. For me.
I know better. I softened a story for a powerful man once. Never again.
He goes slow on purpose. Makes me ask. Watches the whole time, deciding how much I get and when.
All that discipline, and he says the one word he never says. Low. Wrecked. Against my skin. I forget every rule I walked in with.
Then those cold blue eyes drag up over my stomach, and I stop pretending.
I may not survive number twenty-one.
Emotionally intense. Open door. A forced proximity sports romance. Part of the Stampede Series, but can be read as a standalone.
This is an open-door hockey romance with on-page intimacy. The heat is earned, character-driven, and never gratuitous. All intimacy is consensual, and protection is used on page. The tone is emotionally intense rather than spice-forward. Sensitive-content note: the story includes a parent's serious heart surgery and an emotionally controlling parent. If this is your lane, thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy it!
