His Savage Curse

Anton Laine was raised to launder money through hockey, marry on command, and die young. He's two for three. When the pakhan orders him to take a wife, he expects a hostage. Ines Aalto is not a hostage. She's a mechanic with a green card she's about to lose, a father who disappeared with a ledger, and a plan that requires Anton's hands in places they don't belong. She wants immunity. He wants to survive the season. Neither of them wants the other, which is exactly why this is going to hurt. The family runs through Buffalo, Toronto, and a Helsinki basement that still smells of his brothers. The league has been complicit for thirty years. One ledger will end it — if they can both keep their nerve and their names off the record. A dark hockey bratva romance with an arranged marriage, a reluctant enforcer, and a heroine who does her own dirty work.
