Ice, Obsession, and Off-Limits Heat: Obeying the Owner by Jacob Chance

What happens when the star of the team crosses a line he was never supposed to—and falls for the woman who controls his future? In Obeying the Owner, part of the Charleston Coyotes Hockey series, Jacob Chance delivers a steamy, emotionally charged sports romance where power dynamics, temptation, and off-the-charts chemistry collide in the most deliciously forbidden way.

This isn’t just another locker room love story. It’s about control, vulnerability, and what happens when desire refuses to play by the rules.

Why Obeying the Owner Skates Straight Into Our Hearts

The world of hockey romance has long delivered heroes with grit, swagger, and raw magnetism—and Jacob Chance knows precisely how to raise the stakes. Obeying the Owner adds a new twist by blurring the lines between the personal and professional, bringing readers into the kind of tension-filled romance that thrives on restraint—until it doesn’t.

In an era where romance readers are leaning into dark, emotionally intense stories with layered characters and high-heat plots, this book fits the craving perfectly. It’s not just about the thrill of the game—it’s about what happens when the rules don’t just bend… they break.

Power Plays, Private Moments, and a Hero Who Pushes Boundaries

At the heart of Obeying the Owner is a power dynamic that will have readers hooked from page one. He’s a hotshot player known for his skill on the ice—and his cocky attitude off it. She’s the woman who owns the team and his future. Their chemistry is instant, but their situation? Complicated doesn’t even begin to cover it.

He’s not used to being told no. She’s not used to being tempted by the very men she’s supposed to manage. Their interactions spark with friction, fueled by proximity, late-night confrontations, and the slow unraveling of defenses they’ve both built to keep emotions out of the game.

Chance writes their romance with razor-sharp pacing and intense heat, but he doesn’t skip over the emotional stakes. Both characters are carrying their weight, expectations, past wounds, and the knowledge that giving in could cost them everything. Which, of course, makes it impossible not to root for them to risk it all anyway.
