Nineteen-year-old Skyler is stepping onto the world's biggest stage: her first Olympics in Livigno Snow Park, competing in halfpipe and big air snowboarding. Talented, determined, and fiercely independent, she's accustomed to carrying pressure alone-but the Olympics are different. Between media scrutiny, high expectations, and the relentless mountain slopes, Skyler struggles to find her footing. Skyler notices a quiet figure in the crowd of Team Canada hockey players: Macklin Celebrini, also nineteen, shy, reserved, and facing his own first Olympic debut. Skyler can't help but notice the similarity in the weight they both carry-expectations, pressure, and the desire to prove themselves.

Story Description Milena Crosby spent years building herself into someone untouchable. Olympic-bound figure skater. Daughter of hockey legend Sidney Crosby. Cold, composed, impossible to read. The media thinks her life is perfect - fame, money, talent handed to her before she could even skate. They're wrong. Will Smith has spent just as many years deciding exactly who Milena is without ever trying to know her. Arrogant, sarcastic, and annoyingly talented, the young Will Smith forward treats every interaction between them like a battle he refuses to lose. From the moment they met, they hated each other. Or at least that's what they tell themselves. Every season becomes the same routine: sharp comments across arenas, heated arguments in family suites, lingering stares neither of them can explain. But beneath the rivalry, both of them are hiding things nobody else sees - pressure, loneliness, expectations, and the kind of childhood wounds that never fully disappear. When Milena's skating career explodes after a history-making performance on the international stage, Will starts realizing the girl he judged for years is nothing like he imagined. And Milena begins to understand that sometimes the people who see through you the easiest are the ones you fight the hardest to push away. Set between NHL arenas, international skating competitions, and cities that feel too cold to hold secrets, Edges of Hate is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story about ambition, grief, family, and two people learning that surviving isn't the same thing as healing.

Margot Garcia wasn't loved. Not by the media, not by the fans, not by anyone. Climbing to the top of Formula 1 without any support is ruthless. Especially when the entire paddock is wishing for your downfall. And especially when one particular driver wants to see you burn. Margot Garcia and Max Verstappen have always driven like they wanted to kill each other. They are the kind of rivals who make every lap feel like a battlefield. Everyone thinks their hatred is simple... but nothing between them ever is. No one remembers when it started, and neither of them is willing to explain it. But the tension between them? It's too sharp, too charged, too... complicated to be just rivalry. This story is a work of fiction. Some of the information presented is not consistent with reality. English is not my first language.
