Seven Games, One Contract

The lock clicks behind June Calder, and the only door out of the sealed penalty box belongs to Torin Black. He offers her one way free: sign his marriage contract—or watch the city’s pension collapse before the final horn. She holds the acceleration clause that can destroy his bankrupt rink; he controls the ice, the tunnels, and every exit beneath it. Trapped under one roof for seven brutal home games, their legal war turns dangerously personal as every secret raises the contract’s price. June refuses to be the hidden wife buried in an appendix, but Torin refuses to let the woman who can ruin him walk away. When he deeds the barn to the pension and kills the contract, will June choose her freedom—or stay with the man who has just made leaving impossible?
