Pretty Little Threat
Pretty Little Threat
At seven years old, she learned that monsters lived inside homes, not under beds.
After years of watching her stepfather abuse her mother, one violent night changed everything. A kitchen knife. Blood on tiny hands. And her mother’s final command: Run.
Years later, hiding behind a fake name and a janitor uniform at the elite college she once dreamed of attending, she keeps her head down and her past buried. No friends. No attachments. No mistakes.
Until him.
The university’s infamous ice hockey captain — cold-eyed, reckless, and impossible to ignore. Arrogant, feared, and used to getting everything he wants, he instantly clashes with the quiet janitor girl who refuses to be intimidated by him.
But strange coincidences keep pulling them together, and the more he watches her, the more he finds himself drawn to the girl who looks at him without fear. Beneath her guarded heart is someone soft, lonely, and impossible to forget.
For the first time in years, she starts wanting something more than survival.
And for the first time in his life, he wants to protect someone other than himself.
But love was never meant to grow from broken places.
And some pasts don’t stay buried forever.
