Roman Volkov is the NHL’s "Ice Machine"—a cold, ruthless Russian enforcer who doesn't do feelings. I’m Lily Bennett, a shy librarian who prefers fictional heroes to real-life heartbreakers. He’s my brother’s fiercest rival. My brother, Leo, would trade his soul before he let a Volkov touch me. But when my community library faces a shutdown, I need a miracle—or a massive donation. Roman has a problem, too. His bad-boy reputation is about to get him traded to a team in the middle of nowhere. He needs a stable, wholesome girlfriend to Save his career. He offers me a deal: pretend to be his for the season, and he will save my library. The rules are simple: No catching feelings. No telling my brother. And definitely no crossing the line. But when an away-game tournament traps us in a single hotel suite, the ice between us starts to melt. Roman isn't just a machine—he’s a man who looks at me with a hunger that terrifies me. Now, the game is real, and if my brother finds out, it won’t just be Roman’s career on the line. It will be my heart.
