The Hockey Billionaire's Regretted Wife The Woman In The Hallways
POV: RomanI move before I think. I shove Audrey behind me, snatch the brass lamp off the nightstand, and cross the bedroom in two strides with the paper still crushed in my fist."Whoever you are, step into the light," I say.The floorboard creaks again. A small figure in a gray coat appears at the edge of the doorway with both hands raised, and I stop with the lamp above my shoulder, because the trembling shape in front of me is seventy years old and has been dusting my mother's photographs since I was six."Beatrice?" I say."Please put that down, Mr. Roman," Beatrice Whitlock says, and her voice is thin as paper. "I have wanted to say this to you for three years, and I am too old to be hit with a lamp."I lower it slowly. Audrey steps out from behind my shoulder, and I feel her go rigid against my arm."You were the voice," Audrey says."I used a device to change it," Beatrice says, drawing a small black box from her pocket with shaking fingers. "Forgive me, Mrs. Hayes. I could no
The Hockey Billionaire's Regretted Wife The File In The Wrong House
POV: Audrey"Marcus, lock the suite and do not open the door for anyone, including me, until I text you the word *pancakes*," I say into the phone as Roman's driver takes the corner too fast. "Ethan does not leave your sight.""There are two of Roman's security men outside the door and one at the elevator," Marcus says, low and steady. "Audrey, what happened?""Harlan Cross happened," I say. "I will explain when I know what I am explaining."I hang up and stare at the streetlights blurring past the window. Roman sits across from me with his phone gripped in one fist, and neither of us has said a word since Dorchester."You did not have to bring me," I say finally."The voice said the page is in my house," Roman says. "That house is also yours.""It stopped being mine the night I left my ring on your desk.""The closet still has your coats in it," Roman says quietly. "I never let anyone move them."I turn to the window so he cannot see what that does to my face.The penthouse is dark w
The Hockey Billionaire's Regretted Wife The Old Wolf Never Sleeps
POV: RomanI am out of the car before the black sedan finishes stopping, because I know that white hair and that overcoat, and I know what kind of man arrives at a widower's house at one in the morning with a driver and no hurry."Harlan," I say, stepping onto the path between him and the front door.He turns with a smile that has ended careers, and he tips his head as if we have met at a charity dinner. "Roman Hayes. My daughter said you were sentimental, but I did not expect you to follow your ex-wife to Dorchester.""She is my wife," I say. "She never signed the papers.""How romantic," Harlan says. "It will make the next part more interesting.""Step away from this house," I tell him, and my voice is calm because the alternative is putting him through the porch railing."I am a guest, Roman, and the man inside invited me long before you were involved," Harlan says, straightening his cuffs. "Three years ago he shook my hand, and he has been paying me ever since."Behind him, the fr
The Hockey Billionaire's Regretted Wife The Man In The Gray Coat
POV: AudreyMy father's porch light is still on at one in the morning, because he has never once gone to bed before I got home safely, even when I was thirty and living across the city.I sit in Roman's rental car outside the little brick house in Dorchester with the photograph on my lap, and I read the date in the corner again and again until the numbers stop making sense. Roman offered to drive me, and I told him to stay away from my family. He followed us in the second car anyway, and he is parked at the end of the street with his headlights off, keeping his promise to give me space in the only way he knows how.I knock twice, and the door opens before my hand drops."Audrey?" Papa says. He is in his cardigan and slippers, silver hair sticking up on one side, and he looks smaller than he did three years ago. "Baby, what is wrong? Where is Ethan? Is he sick?""Ethan is fine, Papa," I say, and my voice comes out flat and strange. "I need you to look at something."I hold up the photo
The Hockey Billionaire's Regretted Wife What The File Says
POV: AudreyI do not remember deciding to leave the hotel. I remember the elevator, the cab, and Marcus's voicemail promising to sit with Ethan, and then I am standing outside the ownership office at the Vipers arena at eleven at night, with the glass door lit from inside and one man's shadow bent over a desk.I do not knock."Audrey?" Roman rises so fast his chair rolls into the wall. "Is Ethan all right? Did something happen?""Ethan is asleep, and this is not about him," I say, closing the door behind me and staying near it, because I do not trust my body to stay steady if I move closer. "Somebody called me tonight, Roman.""Who?" he asks, and I watch his expression sharpen from worry into something dangerous."The same voice that phoned me at the airport three years ago, the one who told me not to leave Boston," I say. "Tonight the voice told me my father's agency did not fail by accident, and that I should ask you who made sure it did."Roman does not move. He does not scoff, and
The Hockey Billionaire's Regretted Wife The Captain Who Wouldn't Listen
POV: Audrey"You want us to stop playing through pain?" Declan Reyes asks, leaning back in his locker room chair with his arms crossed and the Vipers captain's stitched *C* gleaming on his jersey. "Lady, I have been playing through pain since I was fourteen.""I know, and that is exactly why your left groin has been torn for six weeks and nobody has told you," I say, tapping the tablet in my hand until his scan fills the wall screen behind me.The room goes quiet. Twenty-three players stare at the image, and Declan's smirk falters at the edge."That is confidential medical data," Declan says."It is your data, and it is the reason your team has lost eleven starters to soft-tissue injuries this season," I reply, walking down the row of lockers with my heels echoing on the concrete. "Your old staff treated symptoms. I treat load, sleep, and recovery windows, and if you follow my protocol for three weeks, you will skate faster than you did in your rookie year.""And if I do not?" Declan
