Coiled to Strike

Coiled to Strike is a spicy, dark hockey romance about survival, control, and the kind of love that changes everything.

KEELEY

I didn't just leave my husband-I ran.

New city. New job. New life. That was the plan. Working for my hometown NHL team was supposed to be my fresh start... not coffee runs and dodging men in power who preferred me silent.

Then I ran into Leo Morneau-literally.

Team captain. Untouchable. Sinfully gorgeous.

And the kind of safe that feels dangerous to trust.

But safety is a lie when your past wears a badge... and he's still hunting you.

Because the past always finds you.

It comes back bloodier than you left it.

LEO

Hockey was the only thing I trusted.

Last season. Last shot. No distractions.

That was the deal.

Then Keeley crashed into my life like a firecracker-loud, reckless, impossible to ignore.

She wasn't careful. She wasn't quiet.

And she sure as hell wasn't temporary.

She was mine before I even realized it.

And I don't let go of what's mine.

But secrets don't stay hidden forever.

And when hers come to light...

It doesn't change what she means to me.

It changes what I'm willing to do.

Because the man who hurt her?

He just became my problem.

I don't leave problems unfinished.
