Publisher Description
A brutal rivalry on the ice, a secret sanctuary online, and a collision that changes everything. Dr. Sloane Vance is the Head Physiotherapist for the Seattle Valkyries, a professional women's hockey team coached by her father. Known for her cold, untouchable professionalism, the "Ice Queen" has her perfectly structured world turned upside down when the team trades for Reese Callaway. Reese, a notorious and reckless enforcer dubbed "The Grim Reaper on Skates," is the very same woman who ruthlessly bullied Sloane during their college years. Forced to work in close proximity, the volatile tension between the two women quickly shifts from bitter resentment to an undeniable, explosive physical attraction. However, neither realizes they share a massive secret: for the past six years, they have been falling in love as anonymous best friends on an exclusive coding forum, hiding behind the usernames @TechSiren and @IceGhost. Reese's teenage cruelty was born out of a terrified, closeted panic over her intense attraction to Sloane, a truth she finally confesses in a desperate letter. When their digital identities are tragically unmasked, Sloane feels deeply betrayed and cuts Reese out of her life entirely. But during a high-stakes playoff game, Reese takes a catastrophic, life-threatening hit to the throat to protect a teammate and save Sloane's father's job. Rushing onto the ice, Sloane must finally drop her impenetrable armor and admit her true feelings before it is too late.
