Rink Rash: A Rivals to Lovers Roller Derby Sports Romance by Santana Knox

Description

“YOU PUT THIS COLLAR ON AND YOU ARE MINE. MINE TO KEEP, MINE TO PROTECT… EVEN IF THAT MEANS FROM YOURSELF.”

There are three things that get under Madeline Maddox’s skin:
defeat, disorder and disruption…especially when it comes to her carefully curated life and her roller derby team.
No one outskates Mad Maddox—that is, until a cocky little jammer blows back into her hometown wreaking havoc into all her plans.

Vera Havik is mayhem, she’s chaos, she’s everything Madeline despises.

Madeline is set on making their time on the track a rink-rash-filled nightmare, pushing through Vera's defenses like a bad block. That’s when she learns the heavy secret the world-famous jammer is hiding and now, everything’s off-track, including their hearts.

The fine line between love and hatred can be crushed, snorted, or injected…

But it can’t be ignored.
