Synopsis

Mina knows three things to be true. 1. She hates sports. 2. She’s obsessed with an ice hockey player anyway. 3. Sliding into his DM’s is the best and worst thing she’s ever done Dark Romance author Mina Mendoza has an obsession, and his name is Leo Duval. She knows everything about the star hockey player… like how many tattoos he has, where his aunt likes to holiday, the layout of his house and the date he bought it. But he doesn’t know she exists. Or at least he didn’t . When Mina messages Leo in the middle of the night to say that he’s exactly how she imagines the hero in her latest novel, she forgets that men can be cruel. One message turns into twenty screenshots, and a drunken group chat that alters the course of both their lives. As it turns out, Leo knows some things about Mina too. Like the password to her phone, that her roommate sometimes forgets to lock their door at night, and that she sleeps like the dead. Mina might have been stalking him first, but he can do it better.
