Trade Deadline Heat

She's a woman who trusts in numbers. He's a man who trusts in nothing but his own will. In the high-stakes world of professional hockey, this is a game of total control. Mara Voss, the youngest performance analyst for the Portland Storm, lives a life of calculated precision. Her world is one of data points and predictive models, a fortress of logic built to protect a heart she keeps firmly on ice.
She sees players as assets, games as algorithms, and emotions as messy variables to be eliminated. But her perfectly ordered world is about to be shattered by the one variable she never saw coming: team captain Torin Caldwell. Arrogant, brazen, and the undisputed king of the ice, Torin is the one man who defies all her charts. When they are thrown together on a make-or-break road trip, their professional friction explodes into a brazen, forbidden, and tantalizing affair.
He's a walking, talking force of nature who despises her clinical approach to his game. Yet, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the brilliant, guarded woman who sees through his public facade. But Torin's playbook is darker than she could ever imagine. He doesn't just want her body; he wants her complete and utter surrender. He introduces her to a scandalous world of pleasure and pain, of dominance and submission, that threatens to destroy the very control she's clung to her whole life.
As the trade deadline looms, threatening to tear them apart, Mara must decide if she can trust the one man who makes her feel, or if she will fall victim to his dangerous game. In a battle between the heart and the head, the only rule is surrender. But when the final buzzer sounds, will it lead to a jaw-dropping victory or a devastating, soul-crushing defeat?
