Blurb:
Cruel. Merciless. Wicked. If they find out the truth, I’ll lose everything—including my father’s life.
Surgery saved me, but left my family drowning in debt. The man we owe has one demand–destroy the hockey team from within.
Three obsessive, controlling men catch me spying and promise retribution for my sins. Cole is as cold as the ice beneath his skates, and he likes to hurt me. Tristan’s sweetness hides a terrifying possessiveness. And broody, frightening Coach Aleksandr? He hates me with a passion I don’t understand—but his hands tell a different story.
Their brutal touches and degrading commands break down my walls until I can’t tell where I end and they begin. With every cruel game, I fall deeper, tangled in a web of lies I can’t escape.
When you’re in as deep as I am, walking away isn’t an option. Surviving might not be, either.
Twisted Play is a scorching hot, dark, why choose, college, hockey romance. Eva’s story concludes in Vicious Wins, Book Two of the Cruel Games duet.

¿Qué Pasa, USA? is a cultural treasure. The program explored the trials and tribulations faced by the Peñas, a Cuban American family living in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood, as they struggled to cope with a new country and a new language. The series is praised as being very true-to-life and accurately, if humorously, portraying the life and culture of Miami's Cuban American population.
