Preorder Sudden Death

The truth is out. The ice is cracking. And this time, we’re playing with everything on the line.

I used to think Luke King was my biggest enemy—now he’s the only one I trust to stand beside me. We’ve fought through lies, betrayals, and a town that thrives on secrets. But some storms don’t pass quietly.

The truth we uncovered didn’t just shake Blackwood—it detonated it. And now the fallout is coming for both of us.

His family. My past. The people pulling strings from the shadows. They’ll do whatever it takes to tear us apart.

But we’re not just fighting to endure—we’re fighting for each other.

Our love was never supposed to survive this place. But it did. And now? It might be the only thing strong enough to save us.

The ice beneath us is thin. One wrong move, and everything we’ve built shatters.
But we’ve come too far—and fallen too hard—to let go now.

It’s us against Blackwood. And this time, we’re playing for keeps.

Sudden Death is a steamy, high-stakes, second-chance hockey romance packed with explosive secrets, slow-burn redemption, and a finale that pulls no punches. Set in an elite academy where reputations are weapons and love breaks all the rules, this gripping installment marks the battle for survival at Blackwood—before everything changes.
