Her Vicious Playmaker

Perry Sloane is twenty-two, over-hired, and the first analytics staffer the Parkhurst hockey program has ever had. She is also the only person on campus who knows that Ellis Vaughn's brother's career-ending injury was not an injury. Ellis is the playmaker. He runs the power play, the room, and the staff meeting. He does not know her face. He knows she is a liability. So he makes her one. Bad data. Public questions. A nickname she cannot shake. Perry takes all of it, because the job is the only door she has. Then in January she beats his model in front of the coaches, and he stops trying to ruin her and starts trying to keep her. In the second round of the playoffs, she publishes everything. A dark hockey bully romance about a girl with a spreadsheet and a boy with too much to lose.
