Twelve years ago, an icy highway crash took everything from Bram and Kip. Left with zero family and facing state separation, twelve-year-old Bram made a desperate choice: he choked down black-market blockers, masked his sweet winter-blossom scent with bitter cedar, and convinced the world he was a cold, unyielding Alpha just to legally keep custody of his loud, chaotic best friend.
To keep unwanted suitors away, Kip stepped into the ultimate ruse-acting as Bram's possessive "fake boyfriend." For a decade, the fortress held. Together, they became the ice rink's most lethal, untouchable pair.
Then come Vane and Rhys.
One is a ruthless sports-tech venture capitalist; the other, a high-stakes arena mogul. Arrogant, used to getting whatever they buy, and blinded by an intoxicating biological pull, the two corporate rivals wage war to pry the "power couple" apart-convinced they are saving Kip from a domineering Alpha.
It takes a shattered skate blade, a locked hospital ward, and a terrifying collapse for the masks to break. When the truth spills out-that Bram isn't an Alpha, that their bond was born of sheer survival, and that fate crossed all their wires-the predators are brought to their knees.
Now, the wolves must trade their arrogance for apologies, unlearn the instinct to control, and prove to two fiercely guarded survivors that falling doesn't always mean freezing.
