The last time Nate Koskinen and Carter James were on the same ice, Nate's hit ended Carter's gold medal hopes at the World Juniors. That was years ago. The hatred between them has not faded. It has only gotten louder.
Now they are both captains at the World Championship. Nate for Finland. Carter for the USA. The tournament keeps throwing them together. Same hotel floor. Same press obligations. Same bar at two in the morning when neither of them can sleep and the only other person still awake is the one person they are supposed to hate.
They have two and a half weeks and a hundred reasons to stay away from each other. The tournament bracket guarantees they will meet on the ice before it is over. What keeps happening off the ice is the part neither of them planned for. Hotel rooms that are too close together. Arguments that end with mouths instead of fists. The kind of hate that runs so hot it stops being hate and starts being something neither of them has a name for.
What happens at Worlds stays at Worlds. That is what they tell themselves. The tournament has a deadline, and so does whatever this is. Except neither of them is playing like men who plan to walk away.
Sudden Death is Book 7 in the Icebreaker series, a spicy MM hockey romance featuring enemies to lovers, a ticking clock, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Each book can be read as a complete standalone with no cliffhangers.
