BASS
A Valencia Ice Mafia Hockey Romance
He doesn’t fall in love.
He fixates.
Bass Morelli is the most volatile player in college hockey—explosive on the ice and one mistake away from losing his NHL future.
When the university assigns him to a mandatory image-rehab program, the last thing he expects is Kai Vega.
Brilliant. Controlled. Completely unimpressed.
She’s supposed to clean up his reputation.
Instead, she gets under his skin.
Kai doesn’t care about his stats, his swagger, or the girls who orbit him at the Ice House. She sees the chaos—and refuses to be intimidated by it.
But the more she challenges him, the harder he falls.
The only problem?
Bass has a past that isn’t done with him.
And if it surfaces, it won’t just cost him his career.
It’ll cost him the only woman who ever made him want to be better.
Tropes and themes: Enemies to lovers. Forced proximity. Obsessive hockey hero. High heat. Secrets that don’t stay buried.
