Slash Me Brutally
(2025)(The third book in the Blackwater Reaper Hockey series)
A Story by Frankie Cardona
EMMY
I ran.
I rebuilt my life from the ground up, hiding in the shadows of Blackwater Falls, chasing stories instead of ghosts.
I thought I was safe. That I’d buried my past in the bloodstained ice of Detroit.
But monsters don’t stay dead.
He’s back.
Watching me.
Leaving bodies like breadcrumbs, daring me to follow.
I should walk away. I should let the police handle it.
But this isn’t just a story.
It’s personal.
Because I know the truth.
He’s a hockey player.
A killer hiding behind a mask of fame and fortune.
And if he’s on the Blackwater Reapers, that means he’s closer than ever.
And this time, he won’t let me run.
GERALT
Three years ago, she disappeared.
I searched.
I killed for her.
But my Emmy always did have a way of slipping through my fingers.
Not this time.
She wants to play detective?
Fine.
Let’s see how deep she’s willing to dig.
Let’s see how far she’ll go before she realizes the truth.
That she was never meant to escape me.
And now that I’ve found her, I’m going to remind her exactly why she belongs to me.
Body.
Mind.
Soul.
And when the final buzzer sounds, there will be no more running.
Slash Me Brutally is a dark hockey romance that leans into pitch black darkness so please mind the triggers. It involves a serial killer, a forbidden romance, and a significant age gap. It is a short read that's perfect for getting through your lunch hour or the kids' practice/pickup line quick and dirty. OTT Alpha hockey players are a guarantee, and while the feisty heroines try to resist, their desire defies everything else. Every Frankie Cardona book ends in a HEA with no cliffhanger. (But seriously, mind the triggers.)
Genre: Romance
