⸻ 💫 When America's most wanted woman meets UConn's golden girl... all bets are off. Paige Bueckers is laser-focused: one last season, one championship, no distractions. That is, until Bianca Feretti-international film star, red carpet heartthrob, and Geno Auriemma's impossibly gorgeous niece-shows up at practice with an espresso in hand and an Italian accent that could melt glass. Bianca doesn't do relationships. She barely does conversation. Every A-lister and NBA player who's tried to win her heart? Declined. Politely. Beautifully. Brutally. But then there's Paige-competitive, compassionate, completely herself. And for the first time, Bianca doesn't walk away. As Geno plays matchmaker from the sidelines and the media begins to catch on, the pressure mounts. Between the intensity of March Madness and the chaos of falling for someone so completely out of her orbit, Paige has to decide: can she protect her game and still go all in on a love that might be written in the stars? ⸻

A small Christmas romance for this festive season. : : : A Billionaire (Logan) engaged to her new love, ventures home for Christmas to make things right with her first love (Olly). What could possibly go wrong "What?" I asked, a soft laugh escaping me. "Nothing," she said, her lips curving into a secret smile. "I just need to photograph you like this." "Why?" I asked, curious. "Because I can't help myself, Olly," she whispered, her gaze fixed on me, a quiet intensity in her words. She leaned in, her fingers cold but gentle against my skin, a sensation I wouldn't mind staying with me, gradually warming with each passing second. Her lips parted softly, and I didn't move, allowing her to close the distance between us. The kiss was tender, almost tentative, but it sent a shock through me, a spark that set my heart on fire. My hands instinctively found their way around her, fingers brushing through the dark strands of her hair, which spilled out from beneath her coat. She tilted her head, and a few strands of hair brushed my face, tickling my brow and forehead. Her kiss grew...

This book may NOT be reproduced, reposted, copied, or translated in any way unless you receive permission directly from the author. Camille Rousseau is used to the pressure. As the daughter of a legendary figure skater, she's spent her entire life striving to be the best-pushing herself harder, faster, and farther. But when she's forced to share the ice with Aurora Bennett, Camille's world is turned upside down. Aurora doesn't just glide on the ice; she owns it. Confident, competitive, and effortlessly talented, Aurora is everything Camille hates-everything Camille fears she'll never be. The two are rivals, both driven by the weight of family expectations and their burning need to be the top athlete. But when fate and the rink force them into close quarters, the animosity between them begins to shift into something neither of them can control. Trapped together, their forced proximity ignites a firestorm of tension. Camille can't decide if she wants to throttle Aurora or kiss her. Aurora's confidence rattles Camille's composure, and every touch on the ice sends sparks flying. But as they push each other to new limits, they find that their rivalry is just the beginning of something much deeper, more complicated-and far more dangerous to their hearts.
