Ricochet: Alternate Cover

Some secrets don't stay buried — they wait.

Callum Hayes has built his entire existence around one rule: let no one close enough to see the darkness he carries. Haunted by brutal murders he witnessed as a child, he moves through college life wearing indifference like armor, every wall carefully reinforced. He's untouchable. Unreachable. Safe.

Then Stone Wakefield skates onto his team and destroys all of it.

Five years ago, Stone saw something Callum has spent every waking moment trying to erase — a crack in the mask, a flash of the broken boy underneath. Now they share ice, locker rooms, and a hostility so charged it burns. Callum's resentment is volcanic. Stone's response is something far more dangerous: obsession.

Set against the brutal, adrenaline-soaked world of college hockey, *Ricochet* is a dark LGBTQ+ romance that refuses to flinch. This isn't a slow burn — it's a controlled detonation. The horror of Callum's past bleeds into his present, twisting every interaction between these two men into something volatile and visceral. Stone doesn't want to fix Callum. He wants to *possess* him, to wrap himself around every jagged edge and refuse to let go.

The line between hatred and hunger has never been thinner.

If you crave a romance that goes to genuinely dark places — psychologically, emotionally, and fearlessly — this is the story you've been waiting for.
