DISCLAIMER: if violent or distressing content, angst, and suffering make you uncomfortable, please do not read! while this fic does not consist of JUST that, it has quite a lot of it. Lillian Montgomery was once the pinnacle of beauty in Staten Island. Graceful, small in stature, with a face so perfectly symmetrical it seemed sculpted by the gods. She was meant for a bright future, a life of promise. But in 1945, at just eighteen years old, that future was stolen. At the order of Hydra, she was taken by the Winter Solider, marking the beginning of a nightmare that would stretch across 70 years. Hydra made her into a masterpiece of destruction. A living firestorm, a whisper of death.Their newest weapon, perfected through agonizing experiments that granted her the ability to incinerate anything with a single thought. When she wasn't reducing enemies to ash, she was a possession, a plaything meant to serve the only men who truly owned her: the very people who stole her life away. Now, in 2015, on a mission to eliminate Nick Fury, chaos erupts. For the first time in decades, Lillian is outside of Hydra's grasp. Torn between a new life and the only existence she's ever known, she faces an impossible choice; stay in the light, or return to the only man who has ever made her feel real... even if he was her cage.

Now, I'm the last hope for a pro hockey goalie who thinks I'm some lucky charm capable of flipping his abysmal season. As a Type 1 Diabetic, numbers govern my life: glucose levels, carb counts, and the low balance of my bank account. I moved to San Francisco for a fresh start, not to become the "lucky charm" of a professionally notorious grump. After our steamy, anonymous night, I did the sensible thing: I ran. But the universe flexes a cruel sense of humor. My new job as dental assistant for the San Francisco Bears' pro-hockey team puts me face-to-face-and finger-to-mouth-with the man I can't forget. Connor Schmidt's convinced I'm the cure to his career-worst slump. He's closed-off, stubborn, and way too hot for my professional safety. I need this job to survive. Literally. But with the coach hunting for "distractions" to fire, and Connor refusing to let me go, I'm stuck in a game I can't afford to lose. He's playing for redemption. I'm playing for my life. And the more we lose ourselves in his "luck-with-benefits agreement," the more falling for him is the most reckless thing I've ever done. 18 + for explicit sexual content #1 sports, #1 spicy, #1 sweet, #1 chicklit, #1 contemporaryromance #1 hockeyplayer, #1 maturethemes #36 romance Story is complete.
