Novel & Cerita Familiar Zero

THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORBIDDEN WEAKNESS (Where the Ice Breaks) Damien Cole built his empire the same way he built his walls — brick by brick, from nothing, with bleeding hands and a heart he locked away so long he forgot it was still there. By thirty-two, he's untouchable. Ruthless. The kind of man who commands every room he enters and feels nothing when he leaves. His assistants don't last. His relationships don't either. He doesn't do warmth. He doesn't do weakness. Then Nathalia Bennett walks in. Fresh out of university, armed with ambition and absolutely zero patience for arrogance, she takes the job nobody wants — personal assistant to New York's most feared CEO. She isn't impressed by the money. She isn't intimidated by the power. And when he's cold as ice, she doesn't flinch. When he pushes, she pushes back. It should have been simple. Professional. Temporary. It becomes anything but. From the steel and glass of New York to the rain-soaked streets of London, the glittering excess of Monaco and the quiet devastation of a Bali night — something is breaking open between them. Something neither of them asked for. Something Damien will fight with everything he has, because the only thing more terrifying than his past is the possibility that she could make him forget it. He has survived everything life threw at him by feeling nothing. Nathalia Bennett is about to become the one thing he can't survive. Some walls don't crack. They shatter.

They were supposed to be on the same team. Santos Khyle arrived in Seattle as the Soul Reapers' most anticipated rookie in years, a natural-born scorer with something to prove and a chip on his shoulder the size of a regulation puck. Gunner Jäger had been tearing up the ice as the team's feared enforcer for two seasons, and he had zero interest in sharing his spotlight with some orange-haired twenty-one year old who looked at him like he was a problem to be managed. From the moment they met, it was war. On the ice, they were a disaster. Off it, they were worse. Screaming matches in corridors. Fists through locker room walls. A live on-air brawl that made every highlight reel in North America and earned them both a suspension, a lecture from their furious coach, and the undivided attention of the entire hockey world. Nobody could stand to watch them together. Nobody could look away either. Because underneath the fury and the bruises and the months of spectacular mutual destruction, something else was building. Something neither of them had language for yet. Something that felt uncomfortably like the only fight either of them was actually afraid to lose. The Soul Reapers are one playoff run away from everything. Gunner and Khyle are one honest conversation away from falling apart completely. Or maybe, just maybe, from finally figuring out what they are to each other. Pucking Up the Ice is a slow burn MM romance set in the brutal and beautiful world of professional hockey. It contains explicit language, on-ice violence, emotional gut punches, two men who are absolutely terrible at feelings, and a love story that had to break everything before it could build something worth keeping.

My boyfriend and I had been together for eight years. We were already discussing marriage when Robbie suddenly asked me to wait a little longer. He said he needed to hold a grand wedding with his first love before he could marry me. Because, as he explained, for his first love—who struggled with anxiety—marriage was her greatest wish in life. He couldn't bear to see her spiral into self-harm under the weight of her illness, so with tears in his eyes, he promised to give her a home. Stunned, I asked what would happen to me. Instead of answering, he snapped impatiently, "Can't you show some empathy? It's just a year or two more. Are you really that desperate to get married? "And another thing… lend me your ring. Let Lucy wear it for now. You won't be needing it anytime soon." I stared at the man before me, someone both familiar and suddenly a stranger, and felt only a cold, hollow ache in my chest. But at last, I saw his true face behind the mask. Later, I chose to attend their wedding. I brought with me a very special blessing.
