His father left it before disappearing. One instruction: wait for someone to come. He reads every room he enters and moves toward whoever needs something. It's instinct. It's how he ends up crossing a sponsorship event to talk to the man standing alone by the window.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNikolai Voss is not a sponsorship consultant. He's an operative for the organization West's father betrayed, sent to build trust, locate an archive, and close a fifteen-year file. His system has held for a decade without error - until West notices things no target should notice, and Nikolai starts doing things no operative should do. Remembering a coffee order mentioned once. Carrying a child's drawing in his inside pocket. Not writing any of it in the task record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the truth detonates, the family sends a second man - not to the arena, but to a school gate. Nikolai has seventy-two hours. The archive is recoverable. But the cost now includes a five-year-old who handed him something and said it was his, and a man whose trust he destroyed and cannot afford to lose. The math no longer holds. The only move left is one the system was never built to make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eMM hockey romance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eOperative falls for his target\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eSingle dad + found family\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eSlow burn with a deception that detonates\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eTouch-starved hero\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eForced proximity (cover identity, arena access)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eHe falls first - and doesn't recognize it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eHEA guaranteed\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHOOKING is a full-length MM hockey romantic suspense where the hardest play isn't on the ice - it's trusting the man who was sent to take everything from you.
