They own the ice—and they’re determined to make me melt.
I didn’t ask for any of this. Not for my mom to get thrown in jail. Not to be shipped off to Hidden River Academy, where I’m the newest charity case surrounded by students who drive Range Rovers and Lambos. I just want to keep my head down, survive, and get back to the trailer park.
But then I collided with them.
Buck Barron, the academy’s star hockey player and captain who’s been staying at my uncle’s, hates that I’ve crashed his “guy time.” And his crew—Colt, Shawn, Reid, and Cael? The rest of the top players on the team—they’re every bit as ruthless as he is. To the elite at Hidden River, these guys are gods on ice. But to me? They’re nothing but nightmares with a vendetta.
They’ve made it clear I don’t belong. And if I won’t leave on my own, they’ll make sure I’m driven out one way or another. But if they think I’m just going to skate away quietly, they’re dead wrong. I might be the outsider here, but I’m not going down without a fight.
Rival Hearts is a fierce, gritty bully hockey romance and the first in a pulse-pounding new series by USA Today Best-Selling Author KT Strange. This book was previously published as Hidden River Academy, and has been completely re-written with over 40,000 words of new scenes and chapters added.
