Matthew - A Los Angeles Quakes Hockey Series, #3

As the hottest left-winger in the league, I was the handsome golden boy for the L. A. Quakes. But after suffering horrific injuries during a game, my life is on a breakaway to disaster. My biggest fear is a darkness from my past is about to repeat itself. All I want to do is hide away from the world, but fate has another plan. Feisty beauty Liliana Alvarez doesn't suffer fools lightly, especially when it comes to her kids in her new non-profit outreach.
She'll drag me, kicking and screaming, if necessary, from the hole I've crawled into if it's the last thing she does. For some reason, she is patient enough to wait for me to heal and something sparks between us, wounds, and all. But her abusive ex-boyfriend threatens to shatter our hopes of a happily ever after. Can enemies-turned-lovers help save each other or is the ice tilted against us? Luka:Hockey Romance, Enemies to Lovers, Beauty & The Beast, Tortured Hero, Different Cultures, Stalker Ex-Boyfriend
