The Bet Between Ice And Heart
The Bet Between Ice And Heart
“An omega rescued from being destroyed by a war by the alpha's heiress, and became part of the powerful Alpha Valen family and their daughter, Seraphina. Everyone had taken her in and loved– except Kael Valen, the Alpha heir who thought she was just a girl playing behind his family's generosity. Kael had been hostile toward her for years. He thought that she was trying to take his sister's boyfriend. He felt that her scholarship was based on influence rather than effort. But, regardless of all of Ayla's proof, he would not accept the truth. Until one embarrassing evening turned all that around. A drunken mix up causes Ayla to slap the academy's renowned hockey captain in front of everyone, hurting Kael's pride. When his rival challenges him, he makes a risky bet: He will woo the girl who despises him and get her to fall in love with him. If he fails, he will forfeit the dream of the professional hockey contract that he's always hoped for. A game slowly turns into something that neither of them anticipated. However, secrets have a way of tearing apart even the best relationships. But when the secret of the bet is exposed, the love that they fought so hard to discover, is what separates them. But they find themselves surrounded by enemies who are working to destroy them, a future uncertain, and wounds that don't heal, and wonder if their love will last long enough to overcome the lies that drew them together. Sometimes the hardest fight is not on the ice... It is a battle between the heart and the pride that cannot be put down.”
