the puck decoy

“Adrian,” Raya whispered, voice trembling. “Choose — her or me.” His eyes darkened. “Why should I choose,” he said softly, stepping closer, “when I can have you both?” Her breath caught. “You’re insane,” she whispered. He brushed a thumb over her lips. “No,” he murmured, “i'm yours as you're mine. Whether you want it or not.” ~~~ To save her father, Raya agrees to become the fiancée of a man who could destroy her. She thought she was walking into a simple contract. But when she steps into Adrian Blake’s world, she steps into a maze of power, obsession, and dangerous secrets. Adrian never loved Seraphina, the woman he was supposed to marry. He only needed her family’s influence to seize the Blake empire. But when Seraphina vanishes… Raya becomes the perfect replacement. She’s stubborn, penniless, and nothing like Seraphina. Except for one disturbing detail She looks exactly like her. His terms are everything she should refuse: • Pretend to be his fiancée. • Pay off her father’s impossible debt. • Leave when he says so. Simple. Until she realizes the man behind the cold mask isn’t simple at all. The more she falls for him, the more dangerous he becomes. Because Adrian Blake doesn’t want love. He wants control. And now, he wants her. When the truth about Seraphina begins to unravel, Raya must choose: Run before she’s swallowed by Adrian’s darkness… or stay and risk losing her heart, and her identity, to the man who already owns her.

If I decline, I'll never become a detective and find out the truth, but if I accept the mission, I may not be able to make it through alive... Should I give up on my goal after being betrayed or should I prove myself to become more than a decoy even if the risks take away my life...?

Hockey was everything to Ian Kade until a scandal sent him crashing into the boards. Expelled, disgraced, and forced to transfer to his rival school, he's now wearing the wrong jersey, skating on enemy ice, and stuck on a team that wants nothing to do with him. Worst of all he's lining up next to Dominic Stryker, the rival he's spent years body-checking into the glass. Dominic takes it as an ultimate penalty and he's not about to let him forget his downfall. He takes cheap shots on and off the rink, pushing and taunting anything to remind Ian who really owns the ice. But the more they collide, the more Dominic starts to notice the cracks in the story, the fire in Ian's game and the way their fights are blurring the line between rivalry and something far more dangerous. Because hate is easy. Losing control? That's sudden death.
