Tanner Rhodes

Tanner Rhodes is the golden boy of Ravelle Heights—hockey captain, campus heartthrob, and every father's dream... except one. When he crosses the line with the one girl who's completely off-limits—his coach’s daughter—their secret burns hotter with every stolen moment. But when feelings start replacing rules, Tanner faces the one game he’s never played before: falling in love. Quietly. Recklessly. Completely.

Tanner Rhodes is a 22-year-old, 6'2 foot hockey captain at Ravelle Heights University—charismatic, dominant, and effortlessly magnetic. Raised in a powerful athletic family, Tanner was built for leadership but burdened by legacy. He thrives under pressure, hides vulnerability behind confidence, and protects the people he loves with quiet intensity. While his world is full of trophies and praise, Tanner carries silent wounds from years of emotional distance at home. Known for his control both on and off the ice, his world unravels when he begins a forbidden, secret relationship with his coach’s daughter. What starts as a reckless hookup turns into something real, something worth breaking the rules for. Caught between loyalty and longing, Tanner must choose between playing it safe—or risking everything for the one person he was never supposed to love.
