My Hockey Bully Stepbrother
The boy who made my life hell just became my stepbrother, and now we’re sharing a mansion, a last name, and a hatred so intense it might just burn us both alive.
I’m Summer Winters, the scholarship girl who never wanted Crew Ashford’s attention. But after I publicly humiliated Blackwood Prep’s golden hockey captain, he’s made destroying me his personal mission. With the months of psychological warfare, I've learned to survive his cruelty.
Then my mother marries his father.
Now I’m living under his roof, and Crew’s rage at my presence is suffocating. Behind closed doors, his bullying intensifies, but so does something darker. Something that looks dangerously like obsession.
Just when I think it can’t get worse, I meet Gray, Crew’s quiet, artistic brother who sees me in ways that terrify and comfort me in equal measure. And my childhood best friend Tyler? He’s caught between loyalty to me and forces I don’t understand yet.
Three boys. Three types of devastation. And secrets buried so deep they’ll destroy us all when they surface.
When everything explodes at the championship game, I’ll have to decide: which kind of destruction am I willing to survive?
This is a dark reverse harem hockey romance where the line between hate and want is razor-thin, and choosing yourself might be the most dangerous choice of all.

Chapter: Chapter 50Summer PovI woke up thinking about his hand.Crew's hand. Coming toward my cheek. The flour. The way my heart had completely lost its mind in that moment before I grabbed his wrist and stopped it.I lay there staring at the ceiling and told myself to get over it.Then I got up, washed my face, and decided today was going to be a good day because Ty was coming and that alone was enough reason to be happy.Ruby was supposed to come too but Ruby had texted last night saying something happened with her mom and she had to go somewhere. I read that text twice and almost laughed out loud. Ruby was the worst liar I had ever met in my entire life. Cain had something to do with that sudden emergency, I was one hundred percent certain.I let it go and started getting dressed.I don't know what came over me but I spent more time than usual picking out my outfit. Something felt light in my chest this morning, this quiet wave of happiness that I could not fully explain, and I just went with it. I

Chapter: Chapter 49Gray’s PovDad's voice came through calm and steady the way it always was no matter what was happening on either end of the line."How are you doing? How are you feeling?""I'm fine, Dad.""Gray.""I said I'm fine." I kept my voice level. "I'm okay. Please stop asking me like you're waiting for a different answer."He went quiet for a second. That particular quiet he does when he has more to say but is choosing his battles. I had grown up learning the difference between his silences and that one meant he was letting it go for now, not forever."How is everything in the house?" he said finally. "How are things settling?"I exhaled slowly and leaned my back against the wall of the hallway. Through the hallway I could hear movements in the kitchen."Everything is fine," I said. "The house is fine.""And Summer? How is she doing? Is she comfortable?"Something shifted in my chest when he said her name."She's good," I said. "She's really good actually."And I meant it. Every word of it. S

Chapter: Chapter 48Summer's PovGray was genuinely the best company I had had in a long time.We hit the coffee shop first, then the ice cream place down the street where Gray spent five full minutes debating flavors like it was a serious life decision. I was laughing before he even made his choice. That was the thing about him. He did not try to be funny. He just was funny.Crew could never.We ended up at a painting supply shop because Gray had remembered that he still needed new brushes and he also pointed out, very casually, that I had still never seen him actually paint."We're doing that soon," he said, dropping brushes into a basket. "Properly. You and me.""I don't know how to paint.""That's exactly why it's going to be fun."I shook my head but I was smiling.We moved through the shop and I was genuinely relaxed in a way I had not been in weeks. No tension sitting in my shoulders. No part of my brain on guard waiting for something to go wrong.At some point I said we should probably head back.

Chapter: Chapter 47Summer's Pov I woke up and just lay there for a second.Thank God. Thank God I made it through the night.Because last night was something else entirely. My body had been running hot in a way I could not explain, heat sitting under my skin like something that refused to settle. I had tossed and turned until I was genuinely exhausted and only then did sleep decide to show up.But this morning I was okay.Crew and Brianna were absolutely insane and I was choosing not to think about either of them before 9am.I got up, showered, and went downstairs.Gray was in the kitchen.Apron on. Actually cooking. Moving around like he owned every inch of that space, which honestly he kind of did because nobody else in this house used it the way he did.He was so fine.I stopped walking for half a second. Just half a second.What was God doing when he made this man. The apron should have made him look ridiculous and it absolutely did not.He looked up. "Morning."And that was when I realized I had b

Chapter: Chapter 46Tyler's PovThe living room was quiet in that comfortable way that only happens when nothing is wrong.Mom and Dad were on the couch watching something neither of them was fully paying attention to anymore. Dad had his arm around her shoulder and she was half asleep against him. I had grown up watching them like this. No fighting, no tension, just two people who actually liked each other sitting in the same room. I never took that for granted even when I did not say it out loud.I was stretched out on the other end of the couch scrolling through my phone. Nothing interesting. Ruby's page was the usual chaos, posts about Cain every other hour like the boy had personally hung the moon for her. I smiled at that because Ruby in love was genuinely one of the funniest things I had ever witnessed up close.I checked Summer's page. Nothing new.I had been texting her every day since that wedding and something was off. I could feel it even through a screen. She was responding but there was som

Chapter: Chapter 45Crew's PovShe was turning red.She was trying so hard not to show it but I could see it. The way her jaw stayed a little too tight. The way her eyes stayed a little too fixed on the page. Summer was burning and she was using every single thing she had to make sure I did not see it.I saw it.That was the thing about watching someone try that hard to seem unbothered. The effort itself tells you everything.Brianna showing up tonight was not part of the plan. She had called and said she wanted to come over, wanted to stay the night, and I had not exactly said no. But I had not expected her to sit down in the middle of a tutoring session and start running her hands up my thigh like we were somewhere private.I should have stopped her.I know that. I knew at that moment too that was the wrong thing to let happen, especially right there, especially in front of Summer. But Summer had been freezing me out for days and something in me wanted to crack that wall even a little. Wanted to see if
