She swore she would never date a hockey player, especially one who played for the rival team. He promised himself to not date during his rookie year. A twist on the classic she fell-he fell harder, where he does all the falling at first. A Matt Rempe x Oc Book

Completed They say hockey players leave it all on the ice-but no one warned me that falling for one would mean leaving pieces of myself behind too. Connor Bedard was never supposed to be anything more than a name on the back of a jersey. Just another player in a game. But then he looked at me like I was the only thing in the arena that mattered, and suddenly, I was the one off balance. Now I'm caught between what's safe and what I want, between the life I planned and the one that's breaking through the cracks. Connor's chasing a dream. I'm just trying to figure out if there's room in it for me... or if I'll be left behind when he makes his breakaway.

Emma Hughes grew up in the shadows of hockey greatness - her last name worn like armor, her brothers Jack, Luke, and Quinn skating under the spotlight. She knows the rules: stay out of the media, don't date players, and never, ever get involved with the enemy. But then she meets Matt Rempe. After a bloody Rangers-Devils brawl leaves tempers flaring and grudges deeper than the Hudson, Emma finds herself colliding - quite literally - with the last person she should want. He's tall, loud, unapologetic... and impossible to ignore. When a chance encounter turns into a reckless secret, Emma and Matt find themselves walking the thinnest of lines between loyalty and desire. With her brothers watching her every move and fans dissecting every cryptic post, the walls are closing in fast. Because in the world of rival teams and brutal hits, falling in love with the wrong person isn't just dangerous-it's unforgivable. And some secrets don't stay hidden forever.

A world in which there is a fourth Hughes... Lya Hughes is the younger sister of Luke, Jack and Quinn. Her full name is Rosalia, but she doesn't like it, so she goes by Lya, and always has. The Hughes siblings have always been close, and having three older brothers certainly made Lya's life a rodeo. So let's get into it.

He's got two minutes in the box-and he's using every second to win her over. When she lands her dream job as the San Jose Sharks' new social media manager, she expects early mornings, late nights, and maybe a few awkward run-ins with players. What she doesn't expect? William Eklund, golden boy forward with a jawline sharp enough to cut through playoff tension, who suddenly can't seem to stay out of the penalty box. At first, it's coincidence. A tripping call here, a roughing penalty there. But soon, it's clear: Will's racking up minutes on purpose-and he's using every chance to flirt with her through the glass. He's all charm, cheeky grins, and broken-English pickup lines. She's all rules, boundaries, and trying not to get fired. But when feelings start to blur with content strategy, and TikToks turn into real moments, one thing becomes obvious: She's so off-limits. And he's so into her.

"I just want to stay in that lavender haze..." LAVENDER HAZE: termed in the 1950s, meaning to be deeply in love. Like a honeymoon phase or dream like state in a relationship.
