Introduction
Chapter 1
A hooded figure walked the hallways of the prestigious Rosevale high, frantically searching for her class.
Oh no! Not again she muttered her forehead creasing. A ripple of gasps swept through the hallway. The sound of feet pounding the floors of the hallway could be heard from a mile away, phones flew into the air and voices rose like crashing waves. A crowd of excited students pushed past each other, stretching out their necks, screaming a name, desperate for a glimpse.
Another popular student has arrived, with a lot of crowd this time. It seemed he was the most popular of them all.
Squeezing through past the sea of bodies,then heading down the hallway, she finally found her designated classroom.
She pushed the door open after two nervous breathes and stepped in anxiously.
It was a well known fact that students at Rosevale high were spoilt, rude brats but she didn't expect them to misbehave in the presence of the teacher.
Some were taking selfies, going live, gaming and applying makeup, totally ignoring the presence of the teacher.
Adjusting her hoodie, she moved away from the doorway letting it close, it's sound drawing every attention to her.
She moved to the teacher with shaky knees wondering why the stares were getting to her.
You have a new classmate the teacher said before turning to her. Introduce yourself my dear.
“ Hi everyone, I'm Akira D. Octavio.
Does the D stand for Donovan asked blue haired girl making her classmates scoff and snicker.
That's not possible, it probably stands for a d**k, a Donovan wouldn't be dressed like this low-life a cute looking boy said while sizing her up.
That's enough! Stop being mean to your new class mate and welcome her with open arms.
Maybe you should welcome her with open arms yourself, you too belong to the same class anyway, and stop telling us what to do a blonde girl rudely retorted.
The teacher obviously used to treatments like this did nothing or said nothing other than asked Akira to find a seat.
She found the closest seat to the window sat down and began taking notes on her PC.
So engrossed in the lesson was she, she didn't notice who walked in or the catcalling from the boys. She also didn't know the person was standing.
Someone tell the low-life secretary to get off the CEO's seat the rude girl said slamming her PC shut with force.
Akira wanted a quiet highschool life but she wasn't going to tolerate bullying of any kind.
Careful there, you won't want to break something thrice the amount of your fake hair blonde, she retorted holding the gaze of the other girl fearlessly.
The girl was taken aback, she didn't expect her to talk back at her.
How dare you talk back at me, don't think you're worth it just because you were lucky enough to be admitted here on scholarship, you're just worthless trash who's contaminating the air in this school.
Then find another seat, don't tell me you want to share the same seat with this filthy trash?.
You're not getting away with this, said the girl before walking away in defeat.
Before we proceed let's do a little introduction of Rosevale high.
Rosevale high is a school for the wealthy, with state of the art facilities and world class teachers. It was the best school in the country,a school only the wealthy could afford.
The students who attended were rich and popular, some of them celebrities and children of celebrities like the children in Akira's class.
It was time for lunch after two more lessons. Akira picked up her back pack and left the classroom and was heading to the cafeteria when she collided against a dark haired girl knocking down her books.
I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, Akira apologized while helping the girl pick up the scattered books.
It's fine mistakes happened, she responded with a smile surprising Akira.
I'm Violet she said extending a hand to a shocked Akira. Akira shook her hand still feeling puzzled.
Wipe that surprised look off your face, there's still a few good people at this school Akira,and don't be surprised I know your name, you are already popular thanks to your hoodie.
Anyways do you mind walking me to the library to drop this books, then we can go get lunch together, and oh the squad would be so pleased to meet you said violet pulling her with her.
I don't think I have a choice here do I? You're already stringing me along.
The two girls headed to the cafeteria after returning the books at the library.
Ignore them, violet said pulling her towards a group of students seated at the far end of the cafeteria.

CHASING GHOSTS
The enforcer's redemption
Tyler Rodriguez is the most feared enforcer in professional hockey, six-foot-three of controlled aggression, paid to hurt people and too hollowed by guilt to care about the cost. When a brutal hit sends rival player Danny Martinez to the hospital, Tyler expects hate. What he doesn't expect is Danny's sister.
Sofia Martinez has spent two years rebuilding her life after escaping an abusive marriage, raising her daughter Emma alone, watching every exit, trusting no one who looks like violence. Tyler Rodriguez looks exactly like violence. She knows better than to let him in.
But Tyler keeps showing up. At the hospital. At her school. In the quiet spaces, she thought were hers alone. And for the first time in years, Sofia's threat assessment comes back wrong because the most dangerous thing about Tyler Rodriguez isn't his fists. It's that he listens.
As their forbidden connection deepens, Sofia's ex-husband, Marcus, is watching, and when he files for custody of their daughter, naming Tyler as evidence of Sofia's poor judgment, everything they've carefully built begins to crack.
Tyler must choose between the only language he's ever known and the man he's desperately trying to become. Sofia must decide whether protecting her daughter means keeping her walls up or finally letting the right person through them.
The Enforcer's Redemption is a sizzling, emotionally raw forbidden romance featuring a brooding hockey enforcer haunted by grief, a fiercely independent single mother rebuilding from trauma, and a slow-burn love story set against the backdrop of professional sports, custody battles, and the hardest question of all: can broken people protect each other without breaking again?
