Emerald Sawyer has always been my home. She was the one who saw something in me when everyone else saw a hockey goon who couldn't even read properly. When the world called me stupid, she called me capable. When I had nothing, she sacrificed to give me everything. Now, I'm Hayden "Haymaker" Sawyer-the league's most feared enforcer. My violence goes viral. My fists pay the bills. Every fight, every brutal hit, every autograph, every picture, every deal-I do it all for her. But somewhere along the way, I lost sight of her. I missed the warning signs-the threats, the harassment, the shaming, the strangers who hate her simply for being mine. When she showed me, I told her it didn't matter. It was jealousy. It was nothing. I told her that she was safe. I was wrong. The losses started piling up. The fans raged. My anger grew. My fights became more reckless. My temper snapped, and I said careless words that pushed away my entire world. While I'm smiling for the cameras, my wife was brutally attacked by a fan. While I'm protecting my career, my Emerald was fighting for her life. Every moment I'd ignored her, every time I'd put hockey before her, every careless word I'd ever said-all of it hit me at once. Now I see everything. She's alive, but terrified. She doesn't trust me. She doesn't feel safe with me. She flinches when she sees my jersey. I will never forgive myself. But I cannot give up. I will prove to the only person who ever saw me-the only person who ever loved the real me-that I am still worthy of her. That I can put her first, that I can make things right, that I will fight with everything I am to keep her safe, to bring her back to me. I demand vengeance for my wife, against everyone who ever harmed her-and that includes me. Because Emerald Sawyer is my home, my heart, and my everything. This fight-for her-is the most important fight of my life. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2ykD1DIiMtJwouI2choaIJ?si=c70ab896ac4446b8

At thirty, Aria is trying to hold together a marriage that feels colder with every passing day. Her husband, Jace, has grown distant, his attention slipping somewhere she can't reach.

--- Book 1 🖤 Ravenshore Academy Elite. Icy. Unforgiving. At Ravenshore Academy, perfection isn't optional-it's survival. Aria Andersson didn't come to Los Angeles to be seen. She came to disappear. A ballet prodigy from Sweden with a secret love for figure skating, Aria is used to silence, control, and the weight of expectations-especially from her mother, Celeste, who treats emotions like flaws. But Ravenshore is louder than she expected. Owned by hockey legend Mark Carter, the school is crawling with ambition, drama, and boys who think they own the ice. One of them is Jace Carter-cocky, loud, and emotionally reckless. He's everything Aria avoids... until a cruel joke cracks her armor and forces her to confront the chaos she's been skating around. As ballet rehearsals collide with hockey brawls, and late-night practices blur into emotional breakdowns, Aria finds herself drawn to the quiet tension of Niko Salazar-a hockey player who sees more than he says. In a school built on pressure, Aria must choose: Control or connection. Silence or truth. Ice or fire. ---

I ran away because I couldn't bear the thought of staying with someone who had betrayed me. Kayden Hawkins, my best friend and the guy I thought I would marry, knocked up Amber Smith during our high school graduation, so I fled our small town, I fled the heartbreak and pain. Ten years later, I'm back in town, and now everything has changed.

Maeve is a simple human. Someone who comes from broken household, so what happens when moving to her half-sisters place in a completely different world? Because suddenly she not only has to struggle to get a fresh start behind her but also how to deal with her soulmates. Those who are apparently very possessive and also protective , because after the first encounter they don't seem to want to leave her side.

I knew my best friend since childhood loved me. I knew it. And when I got back from my business trip, I was going to tell him how I felt, especially when he told me he had something exciting to tell me. But it wasn't that he loved me. He'd gotten married while I was on an overseas business trip to my worst enemy.

He made me his ol' lady. I thought it was because he'd finally seen me as more than my brother's little sister. Until I heard him talking with his ex, I didn't realize he was with me out of guilt, that he'd promised to protect me. So I ran and didn't look back...until I had to go back to find him waiting for me.
