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 4Summer's PovCrew was still staring at me when a maid came and said Richard ordered her to show me to my room.“Here we are, Miss Winters,” she says, pushing open a door at the end of the hallway.Miss Winters. Like I'm someone important.I step inside and my breath catches.This can't be my room. This can't be…It's enormous. Bigger than our entire apartment back home. There's a king-sized bed with a white comforter that looks like clouds, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking gardens I didn't know existed, a desk with an actual laptop sitting on it, and…I walk to the closet in a daze and pull open the doors.Clothes. Racks and racks of clothes, all in my size, tags still attached. Dresses and jeans and sweaters and shoes lined up like a boutique. I run my fingers over soft fabrics I've only ever seen in store windows, price tags I've never been able to afford."What the hell?" I whisper.Does this all belong to me?"Mr. Ashford had everything prepared for you," the maid says from th

Chapter: Chapter 3Summer's PovI ran.I just turn and ran out of the dining room, down the narrow hallway, into my bedroom, my tiny, cramped bedroom with the cracked ceiling and the window that doesn’t close all the way. I slam the door and lock it, pressing my back against the wood like that will somehow keep the world out.Crew’s father. Of all the men in this city, my mother is marrying Crew’s father.I slide down to the floor, pulling my knees to my chest, and the sobs come hard and fast. My whole body shakes with them. This morning I thought things couldn’t get worse than being humiliated in front of the entire school. I was wrong. So catastrophically wrong.“Summer.” Mom’s voice comes through the door, sharp with disapproval. “Open this door right now.”“No.”“Summer Elizabeth Winters, you open this door or so help me—”I unlock it because I don’t have the energy to fight. She pushes inside, and I can see the anger in her face.The disappointment.“That was disrespectful,” she says. “That was inc

Chapter: Chapter 2Summer's PovMonday arrives like an execution date.I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Crew's face, that cold fury, felt his hand on my throat, heard his voice promising to make me wish I was dead. By the time my alarm goes off at six, I've already been awake for two hours, staring at my ceiling and trying not to panic.Today is the chemistry test. The one I've been studying for all week. The one that could drop my GPA if I don't ace it.And today is the day Crew Ashford is going to destroy me.Ty's car is already waiting when I step outside. Ruby's in the passenger seat, and she twists around to look at me as I slide into the back."Morning, sunshine," she says, way too cheerful for someone who was sobbing over a breakup less than twenty-four hours ago. "You ready to crush this test?""Yeah," I lie, pulling my backpack onto my lap like a shield.Ty catches my eye in the rearview mirror. He knows something's wrong—he always knows—but he doesn't push. Not yet.Ruby keep

Chapter: Chapter 1Summer's Pov“He broke up with me again!!”Ruby's voice cracks on the word again, and before I can even process what she's saying, she's throwing herself into my arms like the world just ended. Her whole body shakes with sobs, mascara already streaking down her perfect cheeks, and I catch her weight automatically even though I've been through this exact scene approximately seventeen times in the past year."I can't believe we aren't going to get married anymore," she wails into my shoulder, and I have to bite my tongue to keep from saying what we're all thinking: you were never getting married, Ruby. You're seventeen.Over her head, I catch Ty's eye. He's sprawled on my bed with his physics textbook, and the look he gives me is pure *here we go again*. I shoot him a desperate *help me* expression, but he just shrugs with this awkward, apologetic smile that basically screams *you're on your own, Winters*.Traitor."Ruby," I say softly, rubbing circles on her back like I always do. "It'
