𝐇𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫. 𝐈𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭. Emerald Sawyer has always been my home. She saw something in me when everyone else saw a hockey goon who could barely read. 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.

You don't technically need to read Glimpse to get this one, but you might want to. Cam is no ordinary man. He can see the auras of anyone he comes into contact with, reading their desires and their fears. And with a little effort, he can connect much deeper, until it's within his power to not only see but twist those feelings, controlling what people want and what they're afraid of. With this talent, he's been a dependable member of the Hyland crime syndicate, and is called on for the oddest jobs. Like taking an illegal fighting pit and turning it into some kind of community center for homeless teens. Not that he's complaining. It's been fine. But when he's sent to do a routine meeting, he ends up running for his life and crosses paths with a notorious heir to an Italian mafia fortune. Cam expects him to be nothing but a spoiled, useless brat. What he sees is anything but. Rosco is living on the edge. He's a man who burns with ambitions and schemes, and he knows how to play to win. But death is hunting him down, coming for him in search of the fortune that is rightfully his. When he meets Cam by happenstance, he finally meets someone who is completely unpredictable and not at all what he appears to be. Rosco takes one look at him and knows that he wants Cam. He'll do what it takes to get him, and Rosco always plays to win. Tropes : found family, forced proximity, only one bed, reverse age gap, fake-grumpy, and they were roommates, grumpy x crazy, obsessive bf, Kinks : this one is going to be a bit more sensual and emotional. Still erotic but in a softer sense - It's hard to explain. It's not vanilla, but it's not rough like Glimpse either. Cam likes it sweet and slow. You'll see. ;)
