Twisted Play: A Dark Hockey Romance (Cruel Games Book 1)

Eva Marsh doesn't have the luxury of a conscience—not when her family's mounting medical debt has backed her into a corner with only one way out.

The deal is straightforward enough: infiltrate Blackridge's elite hockey team, destroy them from the inside, and walk away clean. What Eva doesn't account for is getting caught. Now three dangerously powerful men own her secret, and they intend to collect on it in ways she never bargained for.

Cole, the team's ruthless star player, has a talent for finding exactly where someone breaks—and an appetite for pushing until they do. Tristan wears his charm like a weapon, all warmth and sweetness until his possessiveness snaps tight around her like a vice. Then there's Coach Aleksandr, whose cold fury toward Eva feels uncomfortably close to obsession. Together, they hold every card in this twisted game, and the price of their silence grows steeper by the night.

What begins as survival quickly becomes something darker, more complicated, and far more addictive. Eva tells herself she's still in control, that her mission comes first, that the hunger building between her and these three demanding men is just strategy. The problem is, she's starting to believe her own lies—and in a world where nothing is what it seems, that kind of self-deception can be fatal.

*Twisted Play* is an unapologetically dark sports romance that refuses to play nice. The rules were never meant to protect you.
