Man Advantage

By: Lady Heartswell

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

They are the kings of the ice. The NHL’s most violent, exclusive couple. And they just decided I’m the only thing holding them together.

Mina
I’m a biology student. I deal in logic, data, and cellular structures. My world is quiet, safe, and small.

Then I walked into a storm drain to save a kitten, and I looked up into the eyes of gods.

Mercer and Rook. The Captain and the Enforcer. They are two hundred and forty pounds of scarred muscle and bad intentions. They are famous for two things: winning at any cost, and being exclusively, obsessively devoted to each other.

They should have ignored me. Instead, they looked at me like I was the only water source in a desert.

Now they’re everywhere. In my lab. In my dorm. Demanding I wear their jersey. Watching me with a dark, starving focus that makes my knees weak. They say I’m the variable they were missing. The soft place where their violence lands.

They don’t want a girlfriend. They want a pet. A keeper. A secret to hide in their penthouse fortress.

I should run. Logic screams that they will break me. But when Mercer’s hand wraps around my throat and Rook kneels at my feet, logic dissolves. Because the only thing more terrifying than being hunted by monsters… is realizing you want to be caught.

Mercer
The data is irrefutable: Rook and I are a closed circuit. We run on friction, aggression, and ice. We don’t let anyone in. Especially not soft, fragile women who smell like vanilla and fear.

But she is different. She is the glitch in the system.

When she’s near, the noise in my head stops. When she watches us, we play better. When she tries to leave, the urge to burn the city down to keep her is overwhelming.

We didn’t plan on her. We didn’t want her. But now that we’ve tasted the peace she brings to our chaos, we aren't letting her go.

She thinks she has a choice. She thinks she can walk away.

She's wrong.

MAN ADVANTAGE is a dark, MMF hockey romance. It features a possessive Why Choose dynamic (Sword Crossing guaranteed), extreme size differences, primal play, and high heat. This creates a "found family" dynamic, but with extra obsession and zero boundaries. If you like your book boyfriends morally grey and twice your size, this is for you.
