I wasn't supposed to be drafted number 1.
Hell, being my father's son, I don't think people expected me to be drafted at all.
But I put in the work, and I did what my father could never do: build a legacy I could be proud of.
I could head straight for the pros. In fact, my mom pushes me to. She says we need the money.
But I decide to defer and attend Crestwood Academy, an elite university with a focus on hockey development.
Not because I want to get better.
Not because I care about developing.
But because I know she is going to be there.
And it starts with her.
The untouched princess, heiress to the Detroit Serpents.
They think I've worked all my life to play professional hockey.
They were wrong.
The only thing I want more than a professional contract is to make Minka Mathers suffer in ways she never imagined.

The last thing I expect to inherit from my grandfather is a professional hockey team.
Because no one thinks someone like me can actually run a professional hockey team.
As the youngest granddaughter to the Mathers legacy, I've been told what to do, where to go, what to do with my life, and who to marry.
I don't get a choice in any of it.
After my grandfather dies, there's no reason to play by his rules anymore.
Sure, I'll go to Crestwood and get my Business degree. I'll take ownership of the team when I graduate.
But that's where I draw the line.
Breaking off my engagement is the first thing I do with my new-found freedom.
And honestly?
It feels good.
So, when I'm blindfolded by a stranger and promised how good it can feel to truly let go, how can I resist?
This is my life.
I'm in control.
Until I'm not.
Doing things I'm not supposed to, doing things I want, is exhilarating.
And now that I've had a taste, I want more.
But more is dangerous.
I don't even know who The Stranger is, just that he's a hockey player and he's drafted me in this dark game of control and release.
It's only matter of time before we get caught, and if we do, I won't just lose everything, I'd destroy the legacy my grandfather worked so hard to build.
Skates & Stones is a stand-alone revenge dark hockey romance featuring a tortured Alpha hockey player and the unassuming innocent who plays his game without understanding the consequences. It has a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger.
