Between Blades and Blood

By: Fox, Willow

There's a darkness in me that shouldn't be let out. But for her, I'd become a villain overnight...

It's not easy being a sophomore in college.

Not when you're trying to become a professional hockey player, not when your father is breathing down your neck about joining the family business, and especially not when said family business is the mafia.

And then there's Harper McKenna. Fierce, stubborn, beautiful Harper McKenna, who just had to go and make things even harder for me.

I already couldn't keep my eyes off her, but now that there's a price on her head?

Keeping her safe is my only priority.

The problem is, my roommate, Ashton Rinaldi, won't let her out of his sight either.
Sure, Ashton is my best friend. My brother. A fellow mafia child who knows the secrets I've been keeping all my life.

But there's nothing I wouldn't do to protect Harper, and I know he has no qualms about unleashing his inner beast both on and off the ice.

I might have sworn I'd never become my father, but that was before Harper's life was on the line.

That oath means nothing now. And I'd sooner watch the world burn than watch her die...
