Romance
Arlie arrives in Prague with one goal: Escape. After a past she refuses to name. She escapes to another country for her master's degree, seeking a fresh start. No chaos. No one controlling her. On her first day she meets her roommates: loud, fearless and unfieltered. Through them, she crosses paths with Matyáš Dvořák during an after party : a star hockey player known for his recklessness and coldness. From the start, they clash. He is everything she's spent her life avoiding: impulsive, dangerous, magnetic and she is everything he refuses to admit he needs: self-assured, unflinching, untouchable... the one person who refuses to fit into his control. What begins as tension quickly sharpens into obsession, into games neither of them knows how to stop playing. But when a calculated betrayal drags Arlie into the public eye, turning her privacy into a spectacle, his darkness becomes something else entirely. As lies unravel and loyalties are tested, Matyáš must confront his own history of abandonment to protect the girl he can't stop yearning for, while Arlie must decide whether control is protection or another kind of prison. In a city where love is dangerous, trust is fragile and revenge is tempting... choosing each other might cost them everything. Or save them.

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.
