CALEB

I notice everything.

Where the exits are. Which guy is about to throw the first punch. Every weakness on the ice. It’s how I survived long before hockey gave me a second chance.

Then I noticed her.

Jasmine Dixon.

The coach’s quiet, overlooked daughter.

The girl who slips into every room hoping no one will see her… except I see everything.

The way she hides inside oversized hoodies.

The way bright lights make her flinch.

The way she wraps her sleeves over her hands when the world gets too loud.

She’s the one thing I can’t stop thinking about.

The problem?

She’s completely off-limits.

One mistake and I lose everything I’ve fought to rebuild. My scholarship. My comeback. My future.

I should stay away.

Instead, I’m memorizing the sound of her laugh. Looking for reasons to touch her. Breaking rules I swore I’d follow.

I’ve spent my whole life fighting everyone else.

Now I’m fighting myself.

Because if loving the coach’s daughter costs me my last shot at the NHL…

I’ll pay it.

CALEB is a steamy, forbidden college hockey romance featuring an obsessed, possessive hero, the coach’s neurodivergent daughter, forced proximity, slow-burn tension, “he falls first,” found family, and an unforgettable happily ever after.

Perfect for readers who love protective hockey heroes with obsessive devotion, emotional depth, and explosive chemistry.

Book four in the Valencia Ice Mafia series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone.
