❝Hell hath no fury like my father if he decides I've made a mistake.❞
-Alex Gibson
。゚•┈୨♡୧┈• 。゚
Alex Gibson was never meant to make it out alive. A star on the ice but a ghost in his own life, he's spent years burying his pain beneath the bruises he earns in the rink and the ones no one else sees. When she steps into his world, she sees right through the armor-through the anger, the chaos, the darkness. 
But love doesn't fix broken things. 

And Alex? He was born to break.

FREE STORY. PAID BONUS CHAPTERS. DANGEROUS. BEAUTIFUL. SURREAL. Those were the words Jodie Henning used to describe the man she fell in love with, the first time she met him. HAZEL. BLACK. CRIMSON. Those were the colors she associated with his bright eyes, his long dark waves of hair and the scars on his back and upper chest. GUTTURAL. PRIMAL. SELFLESS. Those were the words she used to describe her time in bed with him, a time that edged itself into her memory, a time she continued to dream about for days and months afterwards. PAIN. HURT. RED. Those were everything she felt on his wedding day; throat closing, on the verge of tears, overwhelming sadness and pure pain. A SADDENING GLIMPSE OF HOPE That was what she felt when he came up behind her and whispered Shakespearean promises into her yearning ear. ALEXANDER MATEO HIDALGO III also known as Alex Clayton, number 77, left forward for the Seattle Kraken. But that changed since he got married, he barely shows up for shows or red carpets. The only place he can be spotted is the gym or the rink, with punching bags or hockey sticks. However, Alex is done playing by the book, he's done denying himself what he wants, what he needs. It's been four whole years, would she give him a chance to explain? Would she want to be a part of his dangerous world? Would she fall in love with him all over again? After all, she was the first person he opened up to, the first woman to see him for him; and for the first time in his entire life, he was scared of something that wasn't his life or duties to his family. It was a different kind of love, a love that burned mansions and cities, a Love that sparked with intimacy so much greater than sex. Four years isn't long enough to forget, is it?

"What's your name?" He tries again. Should I tell him so he can shut up? Or will he just keep talking. "Fine. Don't tell me. But personally I think we are going to be great friends. Maybe I should tell you a bit about myself so you can trust me. Stranger danger and all that. That's why you're not talking to me right?" I don't respond. "So here it goes. My name is Alexander Daniel Woods. I have amazing black hair and piercing green eyes as told to me by various ladies. My major is in marketing. My blood type is O positive, my social security number is 45-" "Oh my god, do you ever shut up?" I finally break. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Sometimes when you least expect it, you find the one person you never knew you needed. Even if they annoy you at first. When senior college student Amelia gets paired with Alex for an English assignment, she thinks she'll never survive class with his overly cocky attitude. Little do they know, both will be leaning on each other when their respective pasts come back to haunt them. ______________________________________ Notes: Completed *Highest rank : #8 in Chicklit *Featured on on Chicklits "What's hot" list *Cover made by @Silver-masked-devil
