Slashing Hearts
247 Views · Ongoing · jillstarromance
Lexi Volkova arrives in Chicago as the premier draft pick of a brand-new expansion franchise. The Chicago Vixens are new, underfunded, and invisible. Then Marco Rossi walks into her life with a smile, a genuine love of a game he was never allowed to play, and a last name that owns half the city.
Behind the galas and charitable foundations, Vincenzo Rossi runs Chicago's underworld, and he sees in Lexi exactly what his empire needs: a dazzling, marketable star to bridge the family's money and the mainstream. Through favorable ice time, showcase games, and a commissioner who owes the family everything, Lexi gets the career-defining season she always dreamed of. Every accolade is a payment. Every favor is a chain.
Alternating between Lexi's hopeful eyes, Marco's tormented heart, and the cold arithmetic of Vince Rossi's boardroom, SLASHING HEARTS is a story of the seduction and capture of a young woman falling in love with the one person whose family is quietly binding her, and the man torn between blood loyalty and the woman he loves. As threats mount, rival wars brew, and the FBI circles closer, Lexi must decide whether love can exist inside a cage.
