Boots & Scars
She believes in fairytales. I’m here to show her the world is full of monsters—starting with me.
Cooper
They call me a beast.
They’re not wrong.
It’s why the NHL Stars released me from my contract
It’s why no one has picked me up.
And it’s why I’m stuck at some NHL-affiliated college, teaching freshmen how to ice skate.
Quite frankly, it’s bullish—t.
Especially when I meet her.
Everly Hawthorne is the quintessential definition of innocence. She’s also one of the reasons my life has been hell.
Her father and my mother had some sordid love affair, and when I caught them, I told my father.
And my father?
Well, there’s a reason for these scars on my face.
But she has no idea who I am.
That’s about to change.
This girl has been sheltered her whole life. And now, I’m about to show her that life isn’t a fairytale and there’s no such thing as Prince Charming. It’s only monsters from here in out, and I’m the one she has to contend with.
Everly
Starting Crestwood Academy has been the best time of my life. Being homeschooled all my life, where every move has been controlled, was a blessing, but now I’m ready to experience life on my own terms.
The last person I expect to run into is Cooper Sinclaire.
Apparently, he’s some big shot NHL player that got into trouble and was sent here as punishment to teach freshmen how to ice skate.
Including me.
He’s rude, arrogant, and cruel… and I don’t understand why. He even made another skater cry because he’s unnecessarily insulting.
All I want is to fall in love.
I want to meet Prince Charming and fall in love and all the things that go with that.
And I think I have.
Zach is the skate guy, a frat boy, and drop dead gorgeous. When he invites me to a party, I’m over the moon.
This is it.
Until everything goes horribly wrong.
And the person who’s there for me is Cooper himself.
I thought he was a monster… but I realize he’s so much more than that.
Boots & Scars is a stand-alone revenge dark hockey romance featuring a tortured older Alpha hockey player and the unassuming innocent who is absolute romantic sunshine to his angsty grumpy. It has a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger.
