Tristan Vale was forced to make a sick choice: hurt his foster sister or watch someone else do far worse. The quiet and brooding goalie is known for his ruthless demeanor on and off the ice. When it comes to Winter LeBlanc, his dominance is gentle, protective and possessive in the most unhinged ways.
Winter believes Tristan’s careful attention is focused solely on her because of the guilt he carries. She’s only ever felt safe with him, and now she needs his dark side to help her heal. The delicate ballerina is unaware that her foster brother’s need for her consumes him to the point it keeps him up at night. She doesn’t know that the day they were attacked was not the first time he killed for her.
Now they’re expected to go back to their regular lives, but his obsession with her has only grown more intense. Tristan tracks Winter’s every move, caters to her every whim without her having to ask, and there isn’t a thing he wouldn’t do to keep her safe. He vows to hunt down those who tried to harm her, but the villain might be closer than either of them realize.
