Checked Into Him

Noah Kessler is Blackthorne University’s golden boy captain—the future NHL star with a perfect reputation and a legacy he refuses to destroy. Discipline is everything. Control is survival.

Then Liam Vasquez storms onto his ice.

Talented. Reckless. Infuriatingly cocky.

The transfer player with a scandalous past is the last person Noah wants anywhere near his team… especially on his line.

But when an injury forces them to play together, their rivalry ignites into something far more dangerous.

Every hit lingers too long.
Every argument burns hotter.

Every glance feels like crossing a line neither of them can uncross.
Liam sees through Noah’s perfect mask in ways nobody else ever has. And Noah can’t decide if he wants to destroy Liam… or drag him into the locker room and ruin himself instead.

As the pressure of the championship season mounts, so do the secrets, late-night practices, stolen touches, and unbearable attraction simmering beneath the surface.

Because in hockey, losing control for even one second can cost you everything.

And falling for your rival?

That might be the most dangerous game of all.
