Ice King's Prey: Dark MM Hockey Romance: A Captive Kind of Wanting

He wears a crown of ice and calls it discipline. The first time Captain Gabriel Voss puts his hand on rookie Asher Cole's neck, Asher tells himself it's nothing. He's wrong. It's the beginning of everything. Asher made the Harrow Bay Kings on a two-way contract and a prayer, one bad month from a bus ticket back to the minors. He doesn't expect the team's untouchable captain, eleven years his senior and a decade past letting anyone matter to him, to start quietly rearranging the world around him: his linemates, his housing, the reporter asking too many questions, the rival GM digging into a past Asher buried years ago. Every act looks like protection. It feels like something closer to ownership. By the time Asher understands what Gabriel has already sacrificed, and hidden, to keep him, he has a choice to make that has nothing to do with hockey and everything to do with whether he can survive being wanted this completely. This is a dark, possessive age-gap MM hockey romance about a captain who confuses control with love until it nearly costs him everything, and a rookie who has to decide if being claimed and being chosen can ever be the same thing. A standalone dark MM sports romance novella with a guaranteed HEA, a full-throttle protective/possessive dynamic, and a captain who will burn his own reputation down before he lets go.
