He’s a franchise player spiraling out of control. I’m the billionaire owner who just bought his obedience. But some things are worth more than control. Cole Mercer was the golden boy of the New York Reapers until a viral bar fight left his career on life support. Now, he’s twenty-eight, drowning in debt, and one bad headline away from losing the only thing he knows how to do. He needs structure. He needs discipline. He needs someone to take the reins before he destroys himself completely. Alexander Volk doesn't do chaos. As the majority stakeholder of the Reapers, he built a multibillion-dollar empire on absolute precision and cold calculation. Cole is a depreciating asset causing a PR nightmare. The smart corporate move is to cut him loose. Instead, Alexander offers a private, highly unconventional contract. He’ll fix Cole’s finances, provide a luxury condo, and fund a private rehabilitation program. The catch? Cole belongs to him. Behind closed doors, Alexander sets the pace, makes the rules, and demands total submission. What starts as a clinical transaction to save a hockey career quickly detonates into an all-consuming physical connection. But when a ruthless corporate rival uncovers their secret, Alexander must choose between the empire he built and the man who finally brought him to his knees. Sugar Skates: Second Chances is a high-heat, high-emotion MM sports romance featuring a disgraced hockey star, a hyper-controlling billionaire, age-gap tension, and a fiercely protective happily ever after.
