USA Today bestselling author Catherine Gayle presents another novel in the sexy Tulsa Thunderbirds hockey romance series, a spinoff from her Portland Storm series. When dark desperation meets opportunity... On a celebratory trip with his best friend, Ray "Razor" Chambers meets sultry Viktoriya Dubrovskaya and immediately recognizes the desperation in her eyes-a sight he remembers all too well. Permanently in survival mode, the destitute and broken Viktoriya makes him an offer-a proposition he immediately refuses. However, Razor's counter-offer changes everything for her. A ring. A marriage. A lifetime of opportunity. But learning to live together as husband and wife is as foreign as interpreting Smoke Signals. And where there's smoke, there's usually fire. CONTENT WARNING: contains graphic and potentially disturbing descriptions of abuse, both physical and sexual.
