Shattered

What happens when the league's most dangerous enforcer falls for the woman trying to heal him?

ELIAS
I've been broken since I was fifteen.
The night I found my parents' bodies, something inside me shattered. I built myself into a weapon-cold, brutal, untouchable. On the ice, they call me a monster. Off the ice, they're not wrong.
Then the league forced me into therapy, and I met her.
Dr. Nyla Okafor sees through every wall I've built. She doesn't flinch when I get close. Doesn't run when I show her my darkness. She looks at me like I'm worth saving.
She's wrong. But I'm too selfish to tell her that.
When her past comes for her-when the man who nearly killed her walks out of prison with her name on his lips-I finally have a purpose.
I'm not her protector. I'm her weapon.
And I will end anyone who touches her.



NYLA
I've spent ten years rebuilding myself.
Ten years of therapy, of nightmares, of checking locks and jumping at shadows. I became a psychologist to help others survive what almost destroyed me. I'm strong. I'm healed. I'm fine.
Then Elias Cross walked into my office, and every lie I told myself crumbled.
He's dangerous. Volatile. Everything I should stay away from. But when he looks at me with those haunted green eyes, I don't see a monster.
I see myself.
When Derek gets released-when my nightmare starts hunting me again-Elias doesn't offer comfort. He offers violence. Protection wrapped in brutality. A man willing to burn the world down to keep me safe.
I should be afraid of what he's capable of.
Instead, I've never felt safer.


Two broken people. One deadly obsession. A love that will either save them-or destroy everything.
