When the world called me stupid, she called me capable. Her faith built me in ways my father's cruelty never could. Now I'm Hayden "Haymaker" Sawyer-the league's most feared enforcer. My violence goes viral. My fists pay the bills. Every hit, every fight, every autograph, every deal-I told myself I was doing it all for her. Somewhere along the way, I stopped seeing what it was costing our marriage. I let my agent handle the business so I could focus on the game. I ignored the threats and harassment. The fans who hated her simply for being mine. When Emerald tried to show me how cruel it had gotten, I told her it didn't matter. That I would always keep her safe. I was wrong. The losses piled up. The fans turned vicious. My temper snapped, and with one ugly moment, I pushed away the only person who has ever truly loved me. Then, while I was smiling for the cameras, my wife was brutally attacked by a fan wearing my jersey. Now I see everything too late. I want blood from every single person who touched her. And the deeper I dig, the clearer it becomes that none of this was random. My agent, Rick Fox, has been pulling the strings for far too long. I'll do whatever it takes to bring down the people who came for my wife, earn back the woman I love, and prove that this time, I won't fail her again. Because Emerald Sawyer is my home, my heart, my everything.

A man feared by all-ruthless, powerful, and dangerously captivating. He's not just handsome; he commands attention the moment he steps into a room. He is the most feared mafia boss in all of London, a name spoken in whispers and never without caution. But beneath the tailored suits and cold, calculating eyes lies a past shrouded in darkness. His life is etched with scars-both the kind that fade with time and the kind that haunt the soul. Among them, one wound never truly healed: a deep, unshakable fear of being touched. It's not just discomfort; it's terror rooted in betrayal, violence, and a pain he never speaks of. The world may see a monster, but inside, he's a man at war with his own demons. She was left on the steps of a church as a baby, with no name and no family. She grew up in the shadows of others, never knowing the warmth of a family or what it felt like to be someone's first choice. All she ever wanted was to be seen, to be cared for. So when a man showed her attention and made her feel special, she believed it was love. But it wasn't. He slowly trapped her in a world of fear and control, and by the time she realized the truth, it was too late. His love came with bruises, his promises with threats. For years, she endured his violence, his control, all while clinging to the fragile hope that something-anything-might change. But it didn't. For years, she lived through pain and violence at his hands, feeling more alone than ever. Then, one night, with fear in her veins and courage in her heart, she ran. Eight months pregnant and carrying more than just a child-she carried the strength of every scar, every tear, and every silent scream she had buried. She didn't know where the road would lead, but for the first time, it was hers to choose. They were both broken. Both running from something. And neither of them expected the other to become the safest place they'd ever known.

What is real love, truly? What does it mean to be deeply and genuinely loved by someone? Deep down, I long to understand the true essence of love. Will I ever have the chance to experience it, or will my fear of betrayal hold me back, causing me to turn away from love once more? Serenity Rose, a stunning 25-year-old veterinarian with a heart as kind as her smile, never imagined the day would shatter her world. Checking in on her boyfriend, Ethan, she stumbles upon an unforgivable sight: Ethan tangled in bed with her sister, Fiona. As if the betrayal wasn't devastating enough, Ethan twists the knife further, breaking up with her that day. Crushed and desperate to escape, Serenity flees to the one place that has always brought her solace-her work. But fate intervenes as she speeds toward the familiar comfort of her clinic. She discovers an injured wolf in the middle of the road, its piercing eyes filled with pain and mystery. Little does Serenity know, that this chance encounter will unravel a series of events that will change her life forever.
