Marshall Hayes is living the dream—rookie season in the NHL, a new home, and a future that looks unstoppable. The only problem? His neighbor. Lilah is infuriating, gorgeous, and every word out of her mouth makes him want to bite back.

Enemies, lovers, or something dangerously in between… Marshall's about to learn that the hardest battles aren't fought on the ice, but in the heart.
