I’ve had my heart shattered twice in my life.

Once when I was seven, then at nineteen.

Now, it’s happening all over again at twenty-nine—but this time, in the midst of all the pain, I’ve been thrown into a position that was supposed to be decades away.

CEO of Lane Enterprises.

I’m now running my family’s company without any guidance at my side. 

My entire world has been turned upside down, and I feel like I’m drowning.

I don’t show it. I keep it all in, act like the cold-hearted princess everyone thinks I am. 

But then, there’s a certain hockey player who can see right through me—the same one who shattered my heart ten years ago, who vowed to stay by my side through it all.

Now, he’s here, keeping that promise, even as I try to push him away.

What I don’t tell him is that I want him to stay.

But no matter how much I crave to be in his arms, I want what was taken from me and my family more.

He might leave when he finds out the truth, but I don’t care.

I will stop at nothing to get it back. 

Even if it means shattering my own heart.
