Heartstorms series ; Book 1: Hiding Your Heart
He wants her, no matter how tightly she's locked her heart away. Leopold Sword doesn't need much in life-he's got wealth, power, a soccer captain's jersey, and the title of Brave Lions Academy's king pinned to his chest. He rules the halls with ease, balancing being the elite golden boy with a quiet discipline that keeps his crown firmly in place. But when a stray soccer shoe almost takes out a blonde scholarship student, Leo's world tilts. Ava Carper isn't like the other girls clawing for his attention. She's got walls made of fucking steel, eyes sharp enough to cut him, and a walk that screams, Don't even try. Challenge accepted. Ava Carper was built for survival, not romance. She's got enough to deal with-kicking ass in med school, keeping her overprotective twin brother Alex off her back, and nursing a heart freshly shattered by the boy who was supposed to be her forever. Spoiler: He wasn't. Now, Ava doesn't have time for distractions, and especially not for someone like Leopold Sword-irritatingly handsome, shamelessly arrogant, and way too dangerous for her already bruised soul. But Leo's not the type to give up. Not on the pitch, not in life, and especially not on her. She can shove him away, snap at him, even try to block him out entirely, but it's too late. She's his-whether she likes it or not. Leo will do whatever it takes to win Ava's trust, even if it means selling his soul to the devil. And if she's got demons in her heart? Well, he's ready to fucking exorcise them. "I'm not looking for a hero." "Good. I'm not here to save you. I'm here to ruin you-in the best fucking way possible."
