My name is Jean Moreau. My place is at Evermore. I belong to the Moriyamas.

It is a truth Jean has built his life around, a reminder this is the best he can hope for and all he deserves. But when he is stolen from Edgar Allan University and sold to a more dangerous master, Jean is forced to contend with a life outside of the Nest for the first time in five years. The Foxes call his transfer to California a fresh start; Jean knows it is little more than a golden cage.

Captain Jeremy Knox is facing his final year with the USC Trojans and fifth straight year falling short of the championships trophy he desperately craves. Taking in the nation’s best defenseman is a no-brainer, even if that man is a Raven. But Jean is no monster, just a man with no hope or desire for a future, and when Evermore's collapse starts dragging Jean's hideous secrets to light, Jeremy is forced to contend with the cost of victory.

Jean Moreau came back to himself in pieces, dragging himself together as he had a thousand mornings before.

Then the only thing Jean saw, the only thing that mattered, was the woman sitting in a short chair at the foot of the bed. Renee Walker sat with socked feet propped on the footboard and her arms folded across her knees.

Jean picked up the pills. “Leave the bottle with me.” “You know I can’t,” she said, and left him alone with too many thoughts.

Nathaniel smiled with so much ice Jean thought the room dropped a few degrees.

“The King’s lost all his men and there’s nothing he can do about it without crossing his brother. We’re safe—for good.”

“You should have beat this wildness out of him once you learned his name.” “I couldn’t,” was the weary response. “Everyone who has tried to tame him has failed.”

Kevin’s expression was forbidding. “You made me a promise.” “Fuck you. You have no right to hold me to it.”

“He hasn’t played a clean game in years,” Kevin admitted, “but he knows how to follow orders. If you tell him to submit, he will.” “Literally the most awkward way you could’ve worded it,” Jeremy said.

Laila, you ever feel like—like you’re making a choice you can’t come back from? But even knowing everything could go completely sideways, you’d make that choice every time?” “Every morning I wake up and choose to be your friend,” she said dryly.

“You’ve endured the storm long enough. Don’t you think you’re overdue for some rainbows?” “Yours was the first I saw in years,” Jean said, motioning to his head to indicate her hair.
