Levi. I wasn’t supposed to be drafted number 1. Hell, being my father’s son, I don’t think people expected me to be drafted at all. But I put in the work, and I did what my father could never build a legacy I could be proud of. I could head straight for the pros. In fact, my mom pushes me to. She says we need the money. But I decide to defer and attend Crestwood Academy, an elite university with a focus on hockey development. Not because I want to get better. Not because I care about developing. But because I know she is going to be there. And it starts with her. The untouched princess, heiress to the Detroit Serpents. They think I’ve worked all my life to play professional hockey. They were wrong. The only thing I want more than a professional contract is to make Minka Mathers suffer in ways she never imagined. Minka. The last thing I expect to inherit from my grandfather is a professional hockey team. Because no one thinks someone like me can actually run a professional hockey team. As the youngest granddaughter to the Mathers legacy, I’ve been told what to do, where to go, what to do with my life, and who to marry. I don’t get a choice in any of it. After my grandfather dies, there’s no reason to play by his rules anymore. Sure, I’ll go to Crestwood and get my Business degree. I’ll take ownership of the team when I graduate. But that’s where I draw the line. Breaking off my engagement is the first thing I do with my new-found freedom. And honestly? It feels good. So, when I’m blindfolded by a stranger and promised how good it can feel to truly let go, how can I resist? This is my life. I’m in control. Until I’m not. Doing things I’m not supposed to, doing things I want, is exhilarating. And now that I’ve had a taste, I want more. But more is dangerous. I don’t even know who The Stranger is, just that he’s a hockey player and he’s drafted me in this dark game of control and release. It’s only matter of time before we get caught, and if we do, I won’t just lose everything, I’d destroy the legacy my grandfather worked so hard to build. Skates & Stones is a stand-alone revenge dark hockey romance featuring a tortured Alpha hockey player and the unassuming innocent who plays his game without understanding the consequences. It has a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger. less

She was always supposed to be mine…until my younger brother got to her first. Now, I’ll do everything I can to make her mine. Adrian. I’ve always been the one in control, and I excel at everything I do. Academics. Hockey. Fucking. I don’t even have to try to be the best, and my little brother hates me for it. I can’t even blame him. From the moment he was born, Donovan has always lived in my shadow. I’m content to ignore him… until he does the unforgivable: he starts dating Sienna Roberts... moreShe was always supposed to be mine…until my younger brother got to her first. Now, I’ll do everything I can to make her mine. Adrian. I’ve always been the one in control, and I excel at everything I do. Academics. Hockey. Fucking. I don’t even have to try to be the best, and my little brother hates me for it. I can’t even blame him. From the moment he was born, Donovan has always lived in my shadow. I’m content to ignore him… until he does the unforgivable: he starts dating Sienna Roberts. Sienna is mine, she just doesn’t know it yet. No one does. No one except Donovan, that is. I keep my emotions close to the chest. They call me stoic. Indifferent. Cold. Take your pick. I don’t DO emotions. Sienna is my only exception. She has this infuriating way of tearing down my carefully constructed walls and making me feel simply by calling me out… even if the slight tremor in her voice tells me she’s still intimidated by me. Donovan knows I crave her… knows Sienna is my only weakness and the only tool he could ever use to make me pay for the impossible standards placed on him just because he’s my brother. It’s the only reason the passive-aggressive little shit would risk crossing me by going after her. For him, it’s not about Sienna. He doesn’t want her. He never did. But hurting me? That’s what he really wants. He’d do anything to make me suffer. He’s using Sienna as a pawn, and she’s too in love with him to realize it. But me? I’ve had enough. I’m done waiting around. Sienna has always been mine. And if she can’t realize it, I’ll make her. Sienna. I’ve always been in love with Donovan Windsor. He has that tall, dark, and handsome thing down to a T. In high school, he was always the cool guy. Honestly, I didn’t think he even knew I existed. For some reason, during the summer between high school graduation and college, he asked me out. I still can’t believe it, even three months later. I still have to pinch myself. But now that we’re in college, we’re living with his older brother, Adrian. And the thing about Adrian is, he makes me feel… unsettled. He’s intense, dark, and commanding - everything I shouldn't want when I’m already dating my Mr. Right. I can’t explain it, but it’s almost like I’m in danger when Adrian’s dark, piercing gaze falls on me. Like he sees through me straight to my core. I should be terrified. But it just pulls me towards him in a way I don’t understand. Like a moth to a flame. Adrian is the kind of wildfire that doesn’t leave a trace after he consumes you. I should be happy with Donovan. Donovan has always been my dream guy. And yet, I can’t help but fantasize about what it might be like to dance in Adrian’s flames. Blades & Bones is a stand-alone revenge dark hockey romance featuring a tortured Alpha hockey player deadset on possessing his little brother's girlfriend and the unassuming heroine who pines for him without understanding the consequences.

When my fiancée backs out of our engagement, her father’s bankruptcy is nearly a done deal… until he offers me her sister instead. Good thing she’s the one I’ve wanted this entire time. Liam. You do what’s good for the pack, and nothing else matters. That’s what my father always says. That’s what being a Wolfe means. But I know how to get what I want. And I want Ivy Henderson more than I want to start for the Newport Beach Gulls. More than I want my next cigarette. More than I want air... moreWhen my fiancée backs out of our engagement, her father’s bankruptcy is nearly a done deal… until he offers me her sister instead.

But I know how to get what I want. And I want Ivy Henderson more than I want to start for the Newport Beach Gulls. More than I want my next cigarette. More than I want air. I’ve been obsessed with her for years, and now… now she’s mine. I’m lucky her father is a terrible man — he cares more about his financial future than his daughter. I’m lucky my ex-fiancée has so much pride that she plays right into my hand. All it takes is a simple, purposeful slip-up in the heat of passion and she calls off our engagement. I’m lucky that I’m a Wolfe, and I get whatever the hell I want. Because I know how to play the game, and I play ten steps ahead of everybody else. But when someone tries to come between me and my wife? All bets are off. I protect what’s mine. She may hate me for ruining her life, but she’ll come around. She has to. She is my wife, after all. I have an entire lifetime to make her fall in love with me. Ivy. Liam Wolfe can talk a long walk off a short bridge. He broke my sister’s heart. He’s arrogant, rude, and bossy. He’s the starting goalie for the Crestwood Titans but smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. And he thinks he can make me marry him just because Father tells me I have to. This marriage is going to ruin my life. My sister has hated me since that day… since her breakup… even though she won’t tell me why. My father is punishing me for the mess she made by marrying me to her ex to satisfy a deal with Liam’s family. Honestly, it’s not fair. But if I have to marry him, I’ll make sure he regrets the day he puts that ostentatious ring on my finger. Til death do us part? Challenge accepted. I’m going to cause Liam so much misery he’ll be begging me for a divorce. As long as he keeps those long fingers to himself, keeps that mouth from giving me those filthy orders, and keeps those hungry eyes off of me, I’ll be fine. I’ll be safe. But marrying a Wolfe? I’m in more danger than I realize.

I’ve waited two years for this. And now that she’s helpless and desperate, I can finally ruin her the way she ruined me. Only much, much worse. Connor. Two years ago, Brooke Westwood and I shared one perfect night together. Unfortunately for me, that so-called perfect night ruined my life. She told. She wasn’t supposed to tell anyone, but she did.

Unfortunately for me, that so-called perfect night ruined my life. She told. She wasn’t supposed to tell anyone, but she did. I was a revered NHL player, but thanks to her reckless little mouth, the Detroit Serpents released me from my contract. Now, I’m a professor at an elite academy specializing in professional hockey development. Wondering how I pulled it off? Easy. I blackmailed Brooke’s father into getting me a position. Everyone knows he has vices, and exploiting them is only one thing off my list. The next? Get my revenge. Brooke Westwood destroyed me. I intend to pay her back… with interest. And now that her father is in over his head, he has no choice but to come to me for help. And the only thing I want? Brooke, on her knees, begging me to save her father. And that’s only the beginning. Brooke. I am so screwed, and it’s all my idiot father’s fault. Ever since my mom died, I’ve known he has a problem. Gambling. But I never thought he’d get this careless. Borrowing money from Alexander Wolfe isn’t something one does unless you know you can pay him back on time. And if not…. My life is on the line. Apparently, I caught the attention of his youngest son, and he’s just as savage as his father. I need an out, and the only person I can turn to is the one person I hate most. Connor Bradley broke my heart two years ago when I was barely eighteen and thought…. Well, it doesn’t matter what I thought. I’d almost rather die than ask him for help, but if I want to save my father and myself, I don’t have a choice.

She’s one thing I never knew I wanted. And the more I fall, the more it’s going to hurt when I break her. Sawyer. Being a Wolfe sucks. I got expelled from my university and was forced to enroll in Crestwood. Apparently, it’s my last chance. Not to mention my father is insisting I get married. I had a fiancée…before she was stolen from me by Levi fucking Kennedy. He ruined my life. And now? Now, I intend to ruin his. And I’m going to do it by ruining her... moreShe’s one thing I never knew I wanted. And the more I fall, the more it’s going to hurt when I break her. Sawyer. Being a Wolfe sucks.

I had a fiancée…before she was stolen from me by Levi fucking Kennedy. He ruined my life. And now? Now, I intend to ruin his. And I’m going to do it by ruining her. Rika Kennedy is young, naive, and innocent. She looks up at me with those big green eyes like I’m a god. It’s going to be so damn easy to make her fall in love with me. To force her into a situation where she has to marry me. And then I'm going to break her heart. And it’ll be all Levi’s fault. As long as I keep to the plan. As long as I don’t do something stupid like fall in love with her. Rika. Graduating from high school early and leaving home is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Now, I get to be away from my family…away from my mother. I can finally be independent…I can finally be free. Except my older brother still treats me like a kid. It doesn’t matter that I graduated at the top of my class, that I’m eighteen, that I can make my own choices. Like dating Sawyer Wolfe. I’m not an idiot. I know he has a reputation. But there’s something about him…something alluring, something dangerous…and something more. Something he doesn’t let everyone else see. I know there’s more to him than what people say. And he’s showing me, little by little. It could mean nothing, but…. But I’d like to think there’s more to Sawyer than that. In fact, I know there is. Maybe Sawyer will break my heart. But maybe…maybe he won’t. And at this point, it’s my choice who I give my heart…and my body to. I can only hope he doesn’t shatter me completely.

I've watched her since we were kids. .. and after she starts dating my best friend, I know I have to act. She's going to be mine. .. whether she wants to or not. And anything that threatens that? I'll put down myself. Addison. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve felt like someone’s watching me. I can’t explain it. When I get to college, the eyes are still on me. They’re always on me.

They’re always on me. But this time, I have Eren. He’s the first boyfriend I’ve ever had. I’d do anything for him. Even hang out with him and his best friend Michael. Sure, they play on the Titan hockey team together, but I’ve known Michael for years, and he’s nice, but…. I don’t know. Something’s off about him. I can't explain it. And then, Eren asks me to do the unthinkable. He tells me he doesn’t want to take my virginity. In fact, the thought of me being a virgin disgusts him to the point where he asks me if I would be okay if Michael took care of it. If Eren could watch while me and his best friend went all the way. And then, we’d all just carry on like normal. I said I’d do anything for Eren, but…. The more time I spend with Michael, the more I realize I’m not interested in going back to the way things were before. And with the way Michael watches me, I don’t think he is either. Michael. I still remember the way she looked, sitting in that chair with a blindfold, legs spread wide, open like a gift just waiting for me to unwrap her. And I did. Just a taste, nothing more, but it was enough. To this day, she still doesn’t know it was me. But her essence is branded on me like a tattoo and now I can’t stop thinking about her. I can’t stop following her. I can’t stop watching her. It doesn’t help that she’s dating my best friend and teammate. It doesn’t help that I want to tear him to shreds for even looking at her. But then, Eren drops a gift into my lap…. He wants me to be Addison’s first. He wants nothing to do with her innocence. He wants me to break her in, and then he can go back to being her boyfriend after. That will not happen. If Eren wants to watch, fine. If he wants to hear his girlfriend scream my name, if he wants to see the pleasure only I can give her, fine. She’ll be the last thing he sees before I put him down myself.
