"Sei appena entrata nell'occhio del ciclone, Milly" Occhiali spessi, capelli legati in due trecce, lingua tagliente e biforcuta, Mildred Quincey detta IQ è un genio di nome e di fatto. Gamer convinta, risolve equazioni di matematica a colazione, e divora libri nella libreria di famiglia gestita dalla madre single. Ma le manca una cosa: la sensualità e la bellezza. Per lei non è mai stato un problema essere invisibile e oggetto di scherno nella scuola superiore della sua città natale, Josenville, nel Michigan. Convinta che nessuno l'apprezzerà mai per il suo aspetto esteriore, ha smesso da tempo di credere nell'amore. E se in realtà ci fosse stato qualcuno? E se quel qualcuno fosse proprio Marcus Osborne Storm, detto Thunderstorm, il ragazzo più ambito del liceo, capitano della squadra di hockey, ex cotta storica, suo migliore amico di infanzia, colui che l'ha sempre difesa e che poi le ha improvvisamente spezzato il cuore? Lui ora è tornato in città dopo essere stato via per due lunghi anni, e suo padre, lo stesso imprenditore che sta mandando al lastrico la loro piccola libreria di famiglia, adesso è intenzionato a sposare la madre di Mildred. Come reagirà Mildred quando scoprirà che Marcus diventerà non solo il suo fratellastro, ma anche l'imminente tempesta pronta ad abbattersi su di lei? | L'opera è coperta da COPYRIGHT.

"What do you mean they're 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘦 ?" I ask, feeling like my world has been slowed to a stop. I feel like she's not even making sense. This doesn't make any sense. We just talked to them. "They're not gone. They said they were going home." The third installment in Ice.

"I'd give it all up for you, Avery," Finn urges. His hands are gripping onto my cheeks and I don't know why I'm letting him get so close to me when I told myself I wouldn't let this happen. All I know is that I could cry at his touch. I miss him so much. "The job, the team, everything," he continues. I swallow the lump in my throat as my eyes dart between his. He seems so desperate and I want to sock myself in the jaw when I'm tempted to wipe the single tear that fell to his cheek. "Because I've seen what it's like to live without you. I know what it's like to see you with someone else, and nothing is worth that. Not even the NHL." The sequel to Ice.

COVER CREDIT - @mahgadahling When play boy hot shot Houston Davis had no choice but to turn his act around or lose his NHL contract. The last thing he expected was his PR and management team to come up with something so absurd that it would actually work. Would it work so well that he would break the contract they made filled with rules? Addison Jones, single mom of two kids, eight-year-old Brent Lee, and three-year-old Braelynn Rose, recently separated from her children's father. She never expected an opportunity of a lifetime to be set in front of her while grabbing her morning coffee. Let alone all the amazing things that contract would lead to.

"It's kind of ironic, you know? My life has always revolved around being on ice. It only makes sense that I met the girl I love after she slipped on the only patch in the parking lot."

WATTYS 2020 WINNER THIS IS NOT A PAID STORY. ONLY THE BONUS CHAPTERS ARE. YOU CAN READ THE MAIN STORY FOR FREE! When Brenna and Shea, two rival hockey players, have to collaborate to take down a common enemy, they soon discover love is a ruthless game. ******* Brenna Harrison, a gifted hockey player, wants to prove her worth in the hockey world. She knows the consequences of playing on the boys' hockey team: degrading comments, sexist rules, and jealous boys, but she's determined to undermine the patriarchal foundation of her favourite sport. Shea Smith is also a gifted hockey player... but he sees Brenna as a threat. He believes she doesn't belong in the boys' league, despite her astounding skills; he's jealous. So, when the opportunity to potentially eject her from the league presents itself, Shea takes the opportunity. He agrees to a bet with his enemy, Connor Watt; a bet that will break Brenna's heart and make her not want to play hockey. At least... that's what he thinks. Soon, he's regretting the decision and decides to tell Brenna. She's furious, but also sees this as an opportunity to have the root of the problem ejected from the league. Brenna and Shea agree to take Connor down and expose him for who he truly is: as sexist jerk. But with bending the rules, there comes a price.
