Off the Record (Vengeance Hearts · Book Two)

After a season-tilting brawl puts enforcer Liam Kade under the league’s microscope, redemption won’t come from his fists—it’ll come from control. Nora Park, the team’s razor-sharp clinician, believes guardrails save careers and quiet work wins games. Their deal is simple: systems first, boundaries always… and a chemistry they refuse to name.

When a hungry columnist tries to turn their progress into spectacle and old patterns knock at the door, Liam and Nora must protect the room they’ve built—on the ice, in the clinic, and behind a door they only open by choice.

This slow-burn, high-heat sports romance delivers a fiercely consensual love story about choosing the hard thing on purpose and keeping your head up in a city that loves a scandal.
