He was hired to protect my body. He ended up stealing the only thing I had left: my heart.
Julian Sterling
To the world, I am the Prince of Gotham. The face of the new Seraphs expansion team. The perfect captain. The obedient son.
They see the headlines, the money, and the legacy. They don't see the leash around my neck.
My father, Elias Sterling, doesn't just own the team; he owns me. My life is a carefully curated performance of discipline and perfection, monitored by cameras, contracts, and threats. I feel nothing. I want nothing. I am nothing but an investment.
Until they trade for him.
Marek Radek. The Reaper. A chaos agent on skates with a reputation for violence and a hatred for authority. He's supposed to be my bodyguard on the ice. Instead, he's the first person to see the cracks in my armor.
He's dangerous. He's unauthorized. And for the first time in my life, I'm terrified... because he makes me want to break every single rule.
Marek Radek
I had one job: Keep the Golden Boy alive.
I expected Julian Sterling to be a spoiled, rich brat with a silver spoon and a soft ego. I didn't expect the emptiness in his eyes.
He's not a captain; he's a prisoner in a gilded cage.
I should do my job and walk away. I shouldn't be provoking him. I definitely shouldn't be touching him. But there's a fire buried under that ice, and I'm obsessed with watching it burn.
I've spent my life fighting everyone else's wars, but for Julian? I'll start a war of my own.
The Game
We are playing on dangerous ice. My father is watching-always watching. He has the power to end Marek's career and destroy my life with a single phone call.
But as the pressure mounts and the shadows close in, I have to make a choice.
Do I remain the Offside Heir, perfect and dead inside?
Or do I let the Reaper burn my legacy to the ground to save us both?
OFFSIDE HEIR is a high-angst, high-heat MM hockey romance. It features a possessive bodyguard, a touched-starved ice prince, a billionaire villain you will love to hate, and a hard-won Happy Ever After.
