He’s the NHL’s most feared goalie. She’s the journalist who’s supposed to expose him. Neither of them expected to fall in love.

Poppy Monroe has spent her career chasing the truth, and Boston Inferno captain Gideon King has always been her favorite target. Cold. Arrogant. Untouchable. At least, that’s what everyone believes.

Then one concussion changes everything.

Forced into Gideon’s world while she recovers, Poppy discovers the man behind the headlines isn’t the one she expected. He’s fiercely protective, quietly loyal, and far more dangerous to her heart than to her career.

But just as the walls between them begin to fall, a woman from Gideon’s past arrives with horrifying accusations and a story that paints him as someone Poppy no longer recognizes. As anonymous threats escalate and the lines between truth and manipulation begin to blur, Gideon must piece together memories he doesn’t remember while Poppy decides whether to trust the man standing beside her… or the past that’s determined to destroy him.

Some walls are built to keep people out.

Others are built to protect the ones you love.
