Emmy can scream and no one would hear. Now, with her grandfather's health on the line and the risk of debt closing in, Emmy must do her job and ignore her growing attraction for her employer - especially if she wants to avoid risking her life for a man both brooding and fatal.

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. 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. It has a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger.
