I’ve always hated my birthday. Mainly because that was the day my insane father did his “survival” test. He had this idea that I was going to succeed him in his “business”. Basically he was training me to be some kind of super assassin from the time I could walk. Anything from hand to hand combat to guns and archery, I had to master it. He worked for the largest drug lord in the US and wanted me to take over for him when he decided to retire. Unfortunately, besides being inane, he was incredibly paranoid. Everyone was out to get him and his heir, me. To keep me “safe”, he sent my mother and me to live with my grandmother in France. That was the best thing he could have ever done for me, I would always be grateful for that even as I had the gun currently pointed at his head. Emilia Bellerose had finally escaped her tyrannical father and went into hiding with the help of her uncle. Now safely hidden in the bustling city of New Orleans, she tries her best to start over and keep under radar of her father's employer out for revenge on her father's killer. what she didn't expect was that very man to walk into her job. With Nikolas Martel's best hit man dead, someone had to pay and he was going to find out who killed his best man and the man's family. What pissed him off more than anything, no one seemed to know who did it.

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.
