On Ice by Beau Brown

Evan Riley lives and breathes hockey. As captain of the struggling Seabrooke Ice Hawks, his singular focus is leading his team to their first playoff appearance in years.
Then he meets Luca Barone.
One impulsive night with the handsome, enigmatic new team owner leaves Evan breathless—but morning brings devastating clarity. Luca isn’t just a wealthy businessman; he’s a calculating mafia boss who purchased the Ice Hawks as a front for his gambling operations. Worse, he expects Evan to become his puppet on the ice, winning or losing games at Luca’s command.

Trapped between rage and an undeniable attraction, Evan finds himself in a dangerous power play where the stakes extend far beyond the hockey rink. As rival crime families, threatened teammates, and his own conflicted heart pull him deeper into Luca’s world, Evan discovers that his greatest challenge isn’t winning the Stanley Cup—it’s reconciling his unwavering principles with his growing feelings for a man who breaks every rule.
