"One of my favorite tropes is someone who believes they're hard to love and someone who loves them like it's breathing." TW: Mentions of suicide and abuse Forest Gray is what everyone would describe as a golden boy; perfect grades, the star of the football team, and a damn good friend. He is rich and good looking; he has it all. Except the one thing he's wanted his whole life, his parents love and acceptance. They are never home, yet they hold a protective barrier around him no matter what. They even own the school he goes to. Forest is to do and be who they say, and he's never been one to disobey or displease anyone, except for when he falls in love with the one boy who's able to break his parents spell. Atlas Hart is different from most people, because most people don't skip school and disappear for days or even weeks at a time. But most people don't have his intense emotions and outbursts of anger, or a broken family, or looked at as the outcast of the school. When Forest meets Atlas, he can't believe he's never noticed someone so perfect for him, and Atlas just can't believe someone like Forest is even talking to him. They fall helplessly in love, creating a bump in the plan Forest's parents laid out for his life before he was even born. Follows the struggles of falling in love with someone you're not supposed to and coming to terms with it while facing obstacles like family and friendship complications in which the characters have to overcome.

Ian has always had one goal and one goal only-to get drafted for the National Hockey League. Nothing has ever thrown him off course from this, except for one boy from his past who he used to do figure skating with. Finn never liked hockey. The only reason he joined the team was to look at cute guys, start some fights on the ice (because it looked fun), and to learn more about the boy who mysteriously left figure skating class one day years ago and never returned. When Ian gets tasked with training Finn so that they can actually be a decent team and get to nationals this year, they rediscover their mutual love for figure skating, despite Ian's dad forcing him to stop years ago, and Ian finds himself regretting ever leaving it for ice hockey. Despite refusing to ever allow himself to fall in love ever again, Finn gets dangerously close to breaking that boundary. The closer they get to nationals, the more their bond grows, and the more Ian finds himself distracted from this goal he had set years ago, because of the boy who brought back a spark in Ian he thought he'd lost forever. Now, Ian has to make the decision whether he wants to keep this newfound bond, or risk losing it forever for something they might not even win anyway. ***

Book one of three in the Skates on Ice trilogy. EMERSON CALDER: One fall. And that one fall almost ended my entire figure skating career. To make matters worse, I could almost taste my first Olympic win... before Onyx Steele, my skating partner, made one mistake during our routine that sent me slamming against the ice. I never blamed him, but my best friend blames himself. We almost made it. Until we didn't. It's been three years, and last year, I decided to take the ice back by becoming my university's hockey mascot. Hidden identity, no one knew it was me, but then? Then I meet Ashton Knox-the university's star hockey player, and we began talking. What was supposed to be one year of being the Wolves mascot turned into two. Because I can't part from the fond friendship I formed with him. He's a distraction from my goals, but I can't stop. He believes in me. But he has no idea who I am underneath this mask. I didn't want to be in a spotlight that wasn't mine. Then, Ashton gets injured on the ice, during a game, and the moment I tear off that mascot head and race over to him, I am thrust right into that same spotlight that isn't mine. Maybe I have far more feelings for the dopey hockey player than I initially realized.
