War had broken his soul, and the last thing he wanted to do was go home and pretend that he was just a normal citizen.

Due to his off-ice shenanigans, Nico Tremblay needs to prove to the front office that he has changed his ways or else. So, after he gives me a concussion and sprained wrist, he concocts a wild idea to pretend we’re engaged. It would allow him to keep his spot on the team and get my family off my back.

I’m broke and one bad day away from shattering. I was left holding a debt that wasn't mine and in trouble with a loan shark who doesn't accept excuses.

My childhood best friend, hockey player, Grayson Wheeler and bad boy MMA fighter, Asher Hudson. They may not get along, but they have one thing in common that none of us can deny.

Trust can be a dangerous thing. Trusting your instincts, trusting your friends, but more so, Trusting your heart. Because the General wasn’t what I thought he was. No, he was so much more. More than the cruelty and malice I believed consumed his soul. More than the darkness in his eyes and the monsters he commanded. And now he needed my help.

And more than anything…
