The Hockey King’s Dark Obsession Knox Vale is the boy every girl at Blackthorn High wants and the one every sensible person knows to avoid. Handsome, wealthy, and ruthless on the ice, he is the star hockey captain with a future everyone envies. But beneath his perfect image lies a dangerous secret: Knox is tied to a powerful mafia empire built on lies, betrayal, and blood. Roxy Mercer wants nothing to do with boys like him. Raised in an ordinary working-class family, she prefers the freedom of her motorcycle, the grease of her father’s workshop, and living by her own rules. She doesn’t care about popularity, money, or Knox’s reputation. Until one discovery connects her family’s future to his darkest secret. When a suspicious property deal threatens the workshop she loves, Roxy begins searching for answers. The trail leads to a warehouse fire, missing records, a stolen master key, and people willing to destroy anyone who uncovers the truth. Knox needs her evidence hidden. Roxy needs the conspiracy exposed. Neither expects their hostility to turn into an attraction powerful enough to challenge everything they believe. As betrayals surface and enemies close in, Roxy must decide whether Knox is the boy she can trust or the man who could ruin her life. And Knox must face the one thing his power cannot control: a woman who refuses to bow to him. From high school rivalries to corporate warfare and the dangerous world of organized crime, their love will be tested by secrets that could destroy them both. He rules the ice. He commands the shadows. But she may be the only person capable of bringing him to his knees.
