About this book

Summary

A Hockey Romantic SuspenseBook 1 of The Gilded Files Under the brightest lights, the darkest deals are made. Callum Rivenhart is the face of professional hockey—team captain, franchise asset, and a man the world believes it owns. On the ice, he thrives on pressure. Off it, one moment of lost control threatens to dismantle everything he’s built. When a viral incident turns public opinion razor-sharp and dangerous, Callum learns a brutal truth: in a world ruled by image, talent is never enough. Enter Elowen Sablecross. She doesn’t fix reputations.She controls narratives. As Halcyon PR’s most feared crisis strategist, Elowen is brought in when careers are already bleeding out. Her job is simple: stop the fallout, contain the damage, and rewrite the story before it destroys the asset at the center of it. But Callum’s case isn’t just another scandal—it’s a coordinated attack. Someone isn’t just watching him. Someone is scripting him. The solution?A contract no one sees coming. A controlled, public-facing relationship designed to stabilize Callum’s image, reassure sponsors, and silence the noise. What begins as strategy quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Because beneath the floodlights, someone is pulling strings—threats escalate, privacy vanishes, and the line between protection and possession blurs. Elowen knows better than to trust chemistry.Callum knows better than to surrender control. But when intimidation turns lethal and loyalty becomes a weapon, they’re forced to confront the truth neither planned for: survival may require more than performance. It may demand trust. And trust, once exposed, is the most fragile currency of all. Contract Under Floodlights is a gripping blend of romantic tension, high-stakes suspense, and elite sports drama—where public image is currency, love is leverage, and every move is watched.
