As Quinn and Jade navigate the ups and downs of their lives in the spotlight, they'll have to figure out if love is worth the risk - or if it's easier to stay in the safe orbit of what they know.

Book 1 of the Quinn Hughes Series ______________________________ ELEANOR GRACE KLEIN has always been a dreamer. Growing up in the heart of Toronto, she was the girl who saw the world in stories, the one who could turn an ordinary moment into something magical. Affectionate, thoughtful, and effortlessly carefree, Eleanor moved through life with a quiet confidence, her intelligence shining in everything she did. When the Hughes brothers moved to Toronto the year she turned thirteen, her world changed forever. From the moment she met them, they became more than just friends-they were family. Through every late-night skate, every backyard game, and every moment in between, the Hughes boys were her safe place, they were the family she never knew that she needed. But as they grow up, Eleanor finds herself tangled in a truth too big to keep to herself. One night, she reveals a secret to Jack-something about his brother that he never saw coming. The fallout is immediate, their bond shattering in an argument neither of them can take back. When the Hughes family moves to Michigan, the distance becomes more than just physical. Calls go unanswered, messages remain unsent, and the once-unbreakable connection between Eleanor and Jack fades into silence. Years later, when fate brings them back into each other's lives, old wounds resurface, and Eleanor must face the truth: some stories don't end the way you expect-but that doesn't mean they're over.

Celia Donovan didn't plan on falling for the quiet, sweet-talking guy she met at a bar one summer night. And she definitely didn't plan on waking up weeks later to a positive pregnancy test and the realization that Quinn - just Quinn - is actually Quinn Hughes, NHL superstar and captain of the Vancouver Canucks. Quinn never forgot the girl who didn't know or care about his fame. So when Celia shows up, pregnant with his child, he doesn't run - he opens his heart. What begins as an unexpected connection slowly grows into something deeper: late-night phone calls, doctor visits, a summer spent at the lake with the Hughes family, and the kind of intimacy that can only come from raising a child together.
