Hudson Brennan has spent his entire life chasing one thing: the NHL. Kenzie knows better than to get caught in the middle of someone else's dream. She's seen what happens when love comes second to ambition, and hockey players are exactly the kind of complication she swore she'd avoid. But Hudson makes it difficult to keep her distance. He sees through every wall she puts up, turning quiet moments into something dangerous - something real. For the first time in a long time, Kenzie starts to believe she might actually matter to someone. Then everything falls apart. With Hudson's future slipping through his fingers and their relationship hanging on by a thread, Kenzie has to decide whether protecting herself is worth losing the person who suddenly means everything. Because some love stories don't fade quietly. They burn bright right up until the lights go out. __________________ Book #1 of the NRU- series.

Everly Coleman starts freshman year with three very simple goals: Pass psychology. Make friends. Don't lose her mind sharing a dorm with a random guy. Then Jackson Bennett walks in. Jackson's annoyingly good at football, fully aware of it too, and somehow treats getting on Everly's nerves like it's a competitive sport. He steals her snacks, teases her constantly, and keeps acting like barging into her life is completely normal. Which would already be bad enough on its own. Unfortunately, Everly's older brother Logan absolutely hates him. Now Everly's dealing with football practices, dorm room arguments over popcorn, late-night conversations that are becoming a little too personal, and an entire football team way too invested in her love life. It's fine. Probably.

After everything they've been through, Kenzie and Hudson are still learning what it means to stay. With Kenzie spending most of her time in Providence and Hudson building his life - and career - in Boston, their relationship exists in the in-between: late-night calls, weekend visits, and the quiet ache of always having to leave again. It works, until it doesn't. Until distance starts to feel like more than just miles. Kenzie pours herself into her work, helping others face what they're afraid to confront, even as parts of her own past begin to resurface in ways she can't ignore. Some things don't stay buried. Some things come back when you least expect them. Hudson is chasing everything he's ever wanted, but the closer he gets, the more he realizes that success doesn't mean much if the person he loves isn't right there beside him. As their worlds begin to shift, Kenzie and Hudson are forced to ask themselves how much they're willing to fight for-and whether love is enough when life keeps pulling them in different directions. Because sometimes, finding your way home isn't about where you go. It's about who you choose to stay with. ________________________ The #3 and final book of the NRU- series.

What happens when the guy you can't stand becomes the solution to all your problems? --- Xavier Cole is a man-whore. A womanizer. A complete player. And on most days? A walking red flag. Unfortunately for me, he's also charming, reckless, and very publicly unattached.

Which makes him the perfect solution when my ex shows back up in town, convinced he deserves a second chance. I didn't mean to kiss Xavier at the annual hockey team New Year's Eve party. I really didn't! But it happened. And now everyone thinks we're dating. That he's my boyfriend. Which might be my fault too... because I may have told people we were together. And he might be going along with it. The problem? Xavier Cole and I don't flirt... we spar. And apparently, we're supposed to be convincing as a couple. Which means we're going to have to make this work.

Freya Carter designs perfection for a living. Details, stitching, and precision those she can control. But nothing prepares her for Jack Hughes, the star forward whose name she thought she'd forgotten. He's charming, reckless, impossible to ignore and now one of her clients. They shouldn't have crossed paths again not after all these years. But fate has a funny way of stitching two lives back together.

Rosie Moving to New York was my fresh start, a chance to get away from my disaster of a hometown, and maybe learn how to breathe on my own. Romance? Not on the itinerary. So when I meet a charming, overly confident guy at a bar with golden-blond hair and too many dimples than should be legal, and way too much flirt - I don't expect to see him again. Then I do... on the ice, the very next night. Dylan I've met plenty of girls in bars. Most of them know who I am, Rosie didn't. And maybe that's why I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was introverted and blunt and completely unimpressed with my attempt at a pick up line, which was honestly kind of refreshing. Seeing her in the stands at my game felt like fate. Running into her again afterward? Game on. A sweet, slow-burn hockey rom-com about unlikely connections, quiet confidence, and falling for someone who sees past the spotlight.
