About the book

My name is Preston Armstrong, and I'm the most depraved bastard you'll ever meet. I take what I want, ruin what I don't, and live exactly how I please. That is, until I crash into the force of nature that is Marcus Osborn. Captain of our rival hockey team and the perpetual thorn in my side. A migraine in human form and the one person who refuses to play by my rules. He's my brand of heartless and just as deranged. I set out to crush him, his career, and his infuriatingly gorgeous face. But Marcus hits back with equal force, turning our rivalry into a violent, addictive dance neither of us can walk away from. We were supposed to annihilate each other. Instead, we spark a fire that threatens to devour everything in its path. In this battle of two unhinged souls, our bodies become collateral damage. But I never expected our stone-cold hearts to get involved.
