Scarlett~For a woman, approaching forty was essentially a death sentence.Wasn’t it?I mean, the dating pool got smaller, and the men got weirder. Because what man in his forties was unmarried? If he was unmarried, it usually wasn’t for good reason, which posed another set of problems altogether.So never would I have thought that a weekend away at the lake would result in meeting the man of my dreams.News flash: he’s far from forty, and not in the direction you would assume either.They say everything happens for a reason, I just didn’t know he’s my reason.Finn~She didn’t see me, not like I saw her. I watched her roll in on that blue boat, and my heart was hers.She took my breath away, and it wasn’t until I got to know her that I realized how hurt she was, how broken she felt. To me, she wasn’t broken; she's perfect.I'll do whatever it takes to prove to her that she is the only thing in the world I need. I’ll never give up, because too many people have quit on her, and I won't be just another man who lets her down, another man who loses her.I’ve had a lot of incredible scores in my life, as a hockey player, it comes with the job, but nothing compares to her; she’s my perfect score.Trigger Warnings Include but are not limited to: Sexually explicit scenes, PTSD, eating disorders, anorexia, bulimia, abusive relationships, domestic violence, stalking, blood, broken bones, threats of violence, death threats, anxiety, depression...Tropes: Golden Retriever BF, Kink Friendly, He Falls First, Millionaire, Adult Romance, Abused Past, Emotional Scars, Touch Her and Die, Dark Romance, Erotica, Marriage, Pregnancy, Age Gap, Soulmates...
