Skating on Broken Glass

Cass Iyer made the Halden roster on skill, and the team has spent every practice since trying to make her quit. Bram Kessler is their captain. Coach's son, spotless record, mean streak a mile wide. When a hazing video hits the campus paper, the team elects Cass as the leak — suspended, unenrolled, evicted in a blizzard. Bram doesn't apologize. He offers her a floor. His house is a shrine to a father who has spent twenty years turning boys into products. His back is a map of what that costs. Cass has one season, one tribunal, and one dead player nobody wants to remember. She's going to bring the whole program down — and she's not doing it alone. A dark hockey bully romance with a hate-to-hostage arrangement, a coach who deserved worse, and a heroine who refuses to be anyone's scapegoat.
