Raised on hockey rinks and lifelong friendships, Clara Hayes thought she understood what it meant to stay. As a photographer for the San Jose Sharks, she's surrounded by the game that shaped her-and by people who feel like home. But when her quiet connection with Macklin Celebrini begins to blur the lines between friendship and something more, it starts to mean choosing growth over comfort, and love over fear.

Sloan Smith has her life planned around one thing - success. Top grades. Endless studying. No distractions. Especially not hockey players. Macklin Celebrini lives in a completely different world, one of early practices, loud locker rooms, and constant pressure to perform. He's focused. Disciplined. And not looking for complications. They're not friends. They're not enemies either. Just two people who keep crossing paths - until staying out of each other's orbit becomes harder than either of them expected. A slow-burn college hockey romance about pressure, timing, and learning to let someone in.

Sophie Amelia Tkachuk was the first girl to ever qualify for the World Juniors, and was the youngest Tkachuk sibling, the little sister of famous NHLers, Brady Tkachuk and Matthew Tkachuk, and friends with Quinn, Jack and Luke Hughes. Ever since Sophie was a little girl, she dreamed of playing hockey with her brothers in the NHL. But when she was told that she couldn't be able to do that due to her being a girl, her world crashed. Ever since then, Sophie trained for days on end, to hopefully prove to the NHL that she was good enough to play, but deep down, she knew that would never happen. But little did Sophie know, the NHL had other plans for her on June 28-29, 2023. A/n: Connor Bedard doesn't come in until later in the story, as the first few chapters are just to explain Sophie's background and her journey up until June 28, 2023. I'll try to publish as often as possible as I have a lot of ideas for this book, but I can't promise anything. I do hope you like the book and any comments you might have, I'd love to hear. :) -Skylo

[Now free to read!] Scott Wilson isn't used to being corrected, and he definitely didn't expect to get his biggest dose of criticism by his coach's daughter - Elle Monroe. ***** When Scott Wilson is drafted to try out for the Marlies hockey team, it's easily the best day of his life. He's cocky and for good reason. He's spent his entire life being told that he's a hockey prodigy and he knows that he's on the path to his destiny. Then Elle Monroe shows up, and throws off his entire plan. Elle - the daughter of his coach - is loud, rude, confident, and gets a special kick out of knocking Scott down a peg or two. Scott doesn't want to accept the help she's offering, but eventually he does, and it turns into a lot more than he was expecting. Scott isn't used to a lot of things, but there's one especially that he's never prepared for: a beautiful, loud girl stealing his jersey every day before their practices.
