Eden's eighteenth birthday was supposed to be her moment-the night she'd finally tell him. The boy she grew up loving. The one who kissed every girl but her. The one she saved her virginity for. She's spent years dreaming of Liam, chasing his smile, starving for his attention. But tonight, all he sees is the next girl he can break. And Eden? She's not enough. Desperate to change that, she does the unthinkable. She turns to Hunter Cross. Captain of the hockey team. Cold. Arrogant. Brutally sexual. The kind of man girls dare not fantasize about-but Eden does. She begs him to teach her how to flirt, how to kiss, how to touch a man until he forgets every woman before her. Hunter agrees-but only under one condition. "If I teach you how to seduce him, then for one month... you belong to me. Fully. No questions. There are no limits." Now Eden is learning far more than she bargained for-lessons in pleasure, in control, in giving up her body piece by piece to a man who doesn't believe in love. Each touch Hunter demands pushes her deeper into the kind of sin she never imagined, the kind that leaves her shaking, soaked, and begging for more. But the deeper she falls, the more dangerous the game becomes. Because Hunter's not just training her for another man. He's breaking her for himself. And he has no intention of ever letting her go. For fans of Haunting Adeline, Twisted Games, and Credence-this is a dangerously seductive enemies-to-lovers story with a filthy slow burn, a dominant hero, and an ending that will leave you breathless. Warning: This book contains explicit adult content, power-play dynamics, rough language, and high-heat scenes intended for mature readers only.

A Deal with the Hockey Captain Chapter 1 The Confession and the Contract

The lights were too bright, the music too loud, and the laughter downstairs too fake for Eden to breathe properly.

Her eighteenth birthday wasn't supposed to feel like this.

She stood in front of the upstairs bathroom mirror, alone, trembling, her fingers nervously adjusting the thin strap of the baby-pink silk dress hugging her soft curves. The fabric clung to her hips like a promise she wasn't sure she could keep. Her lips, painted a shy cherry red, trembled around the words she'd practiced all week.

"I saved myself for you."

Her eyes closed.

"I kept it for you, Liam..."

She whispered it again and again until her voice cracked.

He was downstairs. Somewhere. Laughing, drinking, maybe flirting with another girl in a tight dress and too much lip gloss. She had waited all night for a moment alone with him. She had planned it perfectly-her makeup, her dress, her gift, her confession.

The boy she'd loved since she was fourteen. The same boy who still didn't know.

And now, four hours into her own birthday party, she knew.

He wasn't coming for her.

Not the way she hoped.

She blinked at her reflection, throat tight. Maybe she was never meant to be one of those girls-confident, touchable, desirable. Maybe Liam only saw her as sweet Eden. Innocent Eden. His best friend's little sister. Not the woman she had become.

The woman willing to give him everything.

A sound behind her made her freeze.

The bathroom door hadn't clicked shut all the way.

Slow, heavy footsteps padded over the carpet.

Her stomach dropped as she turned.

And then it dropped even further when she saw him leaning casually against the doorframe.

Hunter Cross.

Captain of the university hockey team. Six-foot-four of cold-blooded swagger. Tattoos on his arms, smirk on his lips, and danger in his every breath. Her brother's rival. Every girl's reckless fantasy.

And the last man she ever wanted to see her like this.

His eyes dragged down the length of her body, taking in every inch of exposed thigh, every shiver in her breath, every trace of heartbreak she hadn't managed to wipe off her face.

"Nice dress," he said, his voice dark and lazy. "Is that for me?"

Eden turned away too fast, cheeks burning. "What are you doing up here?"

He stepped inside, shutting the door behind him with a solid click. "Avoiding people. Same as you."

She crossed her arms over her chest, not meeting his gaze. "I'm fine."

"No, you're not." He said it too casually, like he saw through her soul and didn't care that it hurt.

She swallowed. "Don't you have a girl to screw tonight?"

"Maybe I already did."

She flinched.

He laughed softly and leaned against the vanity, arms folded. "Let me guess. You dressed up to finally tell Golden Boy Liam how much you love him. Planned the whole night out. He looked in the mirror ten times, picked the right lipstick, and tried to walk like one of those girls he likes to grab at parties."

Eden's fingers curled into fists.

"Bet you were gonna tell him you've never been touched. That you saved yourself for him like some fairytale fantasy."

Her heart stopped.

He tilted his head. "How close am I?"

She didn't say a word.

"You poor, stupid girl," he murmured. "You really thought that would work on a guy like Liam?"

"I'm not stupid," she whispered, shaking.

"No," he said, pushing off the sink and stepping toward her. "You're just too sweet for your own good. And you're going to get your heart shredded if you keep chasing him with nothing but wide eyes and virgin lips."

"I just wanted to feel like I was enough," she said softly.

Hunter stopped in front of her, towering over her. "Then maybe it's time you learned how to become enough."

She blinked up at him.

"Let me teach you."

Her throat dried. "What?"

"You want to make Liam want you? Fine. But you need to learn how to flirt. How to move. How to kiss. How to talk like a woman who can make a man's head spin just by looking at him."

Her heart pounded. "You're not serious."

"I am. Let me turn you into his fantasy."

"Why would you do that?"

Hunter smiled, wicked and low. "Because I want to know what it's like to touch a girl who's still soft. Still honest. Still clean."

She stepped back. He followed.

"And because if I'm going to teach you..." He leaned in, his voice lowering to a dangerous purr, "...you're going to learn on me."

She swallowed hard. "W-What does that mean?"

"It means for the next thirty days, you're mine. Do you want to learn how to seduce him? You'll practice every move with me. Every kiss, every touch. Everything he gets later-I get first."

Her legs weakened. "You're insane."

"No," he said, eyes burning into hers. "I'm offering you a deal."

He leaned close, lips brushing the shell of her ear.

"Say yes, and I'll make you unforgettable."

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
