Quinn Taylor has made a career out of looking calm. On the ice, she's America's favorite kind of pressure-proof-bright smile, steady answers, the skater everyone wants to root for. Off the ice, she's an only child with a perfectionist's brain and a habit of carrying too much alone. The cameras love her. The country expects her. And the one place she can't afford to fall apart is the one place she's dreamed of since she was little. The Olympics. Macklin Celebrini has always made things feel lighter. He was the new kid at a Northern California rink at twelve-Canadian, polite, a little lost-until Quinn decided he was hers to keep. He became her best friend in the cold air and early mornings, the person who could make her laugh mid-breakdown and never ask her to perform for him. Then life did what life does: seasons changed, schedules got brutal, distance widened, and the kind of friendship that felt unbreakable turned into occasional texts and quiet missing. Now they're both back where the world is loudest. At the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, Quinn is chasing the skate of her life for Team USA. Mack is carrying his own weight for Team Canada hockey. When reporters find out they grew up together, the story writes itself-childhood friends reunited, smiles caught on camera, a thousand strangers deciding what they are to each other. The only problem is... the strangers aren't entirely wrong. Between past chapters at a small California rink and present days in the Olympic Village, Quinn and Mack have to figure out what they really meant to each other then-and what they're allowed to be now, with medals on the line and the whole world watching. Because it's one thing to love someone quietly from a distance. It's another to have them show up in your life again and make everything feel possible.

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.

"What the hell are you doing here?" he pressed out with a strained voice. Olivia couldn't remember hearing him sound like this, ever. Cassandra, the smile melting off her face, stepped back again and straightened her back. "I represent Dylan Cooper." Rafael's lips twitched and Olivia grew more and more confused by the second. "You don't practice in New York," Rafael argued, his expression growing from whatever shock he had lived through to...angry? Yes, Olivia decided, questionably, snippily, angry. Highly unlike Rafael Barba angry. A case with almost no evidence, an ex-girlfriend he hadn't seen in ten years, and the overwhelming feeling the universe was out to get him. Will he be able to solve the case and save his heart, or will the old pain destroy him?

Florence Carter doesn't belong in the paddock. She prefers quiet galleries to camera flashes, timeless paintings to tabloid headlines. But when a weekend visit turns into something more, her carefully curated world collides with the high-octane chaos of Formula 1 and with George Russell. George is used to pressure. He thrives in the spotlight, lives by precision, and has no time for distractions. Until he sees her poised, composed, impossibly out of place. And somehow, exactly what he didn't know he was looking for. Their connection is subtle. Private. It builds in glances, in silences, in the spaces between races. But when the world begins to speculate, twist, and misjudge what they share, Florence is forced to choose: stay safe in the shadows, or step into the light beside him. Started June 2025 Finished October 2025

"I've been wanting to tell you how I feel for the longest time, but I was afraid - I didn't want to pressure you or make you feel uncomfortable, especially after Oliver, and with your nightmares I felt you were already dealing with so much, but after what happened tonight...."

La speranza è sempre l'ultima a morire, ma quando anche quella sparisce rimane solo una cosa: un desiderio. Per esaudirlo, però, non ci vogliono solo sacrifici e impegno, ci vuole anche coraggio, coraggio di ammettere che non rimane altro, coraggio di accettare la dura realtà, coraggio di lasciar andare una persona cara, assicurandosi di renderla almeno la più felice del mondo. Così è per Alessia Molinari, una ragazza di 25 anni che aiuta il più possibile la famiglia di sua sorella per esaudire il desiderio più grande di suo nipote Edoardo: vedere un Gran Premio di Formula Uno dal vivo e incontrare il suo più grande idolo, il pilota Ferrari numero sedici, Charles Leclerc. Tutto inizia così, da un desiderio realizzato da un bambino di soli otto anni. Tutto inizia da un cartellone e da due biglietti per il paddock, tutto inizia dal sorriso di Edoardo e dalla generosità di un monegasco. Perché innamorarsi dell'idolo del proprio nipote non era nei piani di Alessia, proprio per nulla. Tratto dalla storia: "Ti sei innamorata di lui, vero?" Chiese la sorella Elena, alzando lo sguardo su Alessia e parlando a bassa voce per non farsi sentire da suo marito e dal monegasco, che erano a pochi metri di distanza. Alessia avrebbe tanto voluto negare, avrebbe voluto dire che non era così, che erano solo diventati amici e che lui la aveva solo aiutata a superare alcuni momenti di sconforto, ma non ci riuscì. "Ho fatto un casino, lo so." Ammise infine Alessia, guardando la sorella sconsolata. "E ora non so proprio che cosa fare." "Fa quello che ti fa stare bene, Alessia." La incoraggiò la sorella, guardandola negli occhi. "Hai sacrificato tanto per poter star vicino a me e ad Edoardo, meriti di essere felice." - 1° in #charlesleclerc 23/06/2024 - 1° in #charles 07/05/2025
