I’m the fastest and most feared skater in the NHL. <br>With a temper like mine, I can’t afford to make mistakes. <br>But one insane night in Vegas, and I wake up married to the biggest mistake of all: <br>Persephone VanDoren—the head of our team’s charitable foundation. <br>Sure, the petite blonde is sweet enough to give the entire state of South Carolina a toothache, but I’ve never been one for the debutantes. <br>She’s everything I’ve fought against my whole life—wealthy, perfect, gorgeous, and her sharp little tongue presses every single one of my buttons. <br> <br>Our fights are almost as electric as our chemistry and there is no denying the tension sizzling between us. But I’m a monster with a dark past that will ruin a princess like her. <br> <br>She needs this marriage to appear real. <br>And I need to remember it’s fake. <br> <br>Because the longer we stay hitched, the more I want to be her forever. <br>The whole world views me as her personal Hades, but I’ll go to war with both our demons to save her happily ever after. <br>
