You met Will Smith during your sophomore year at Boston College-cocky, loud, impossible not to notice. He sat behind you in stats class and spent the whole semester finding new ways to make you laugh. Somewhere between all-night study sessions and Friday night games at Conte Forum, you fell hard. Now, two years later, everything's changed. You've moved to California for grad school, and Will's a rookie in San Jose-alongside Macklin Celebrini, the Sharks' other rising star. You expect long nights and even longer FaceTimes with Will. What you don't expect is the way Mack looks at you. Or the way he looks at Will. It starts small. Lingering glances. A touch that lasts a little too long. Jokes that land with a flush of heat. But soon, you're caught in something that feels like more than just friendship-something magnetic, fragile, and impossible to ignore. Three hearts. One shot. And the question no one's brave enough to ask: what if love doesn't have to choose?

Hockey royalty was never supposed to have secrets. But Sidney Crosby has one. At the end of his rookie season in 2006, before the championships, before the dynasty, before the captaincy truly defined him, Sidney Crosby became a father. Her mother left before the ink dried on the birth certificate. From that moment on, it was just the two of them. Raised between locker rooms, road trips, and Stanley Cup celebrations, she grew up surrounded by hockey's biggest names. Marc-André Fleury taught her how to skate. Evgeni Malkin taught her Russian swear words. The Pittsburgh Penguins raised her almost as much as her father did. But she never wanted to be known as Sidney Crosby's daughter. So when she graduates and takes a media job with the San Jose Sharks, she does it quietly. New city. New life. No famous last name attached. What she doesn't expect is the Sharks' newest star rookie. Macklin Celebrini. The first overall pick. The future of the franchise. And a guy who grew up idolizing Sidney Crosby. At first they're just friends. Late night food runs, team dinners, inside jokes with Will Smith. But somewhere during Macklin's rookie season, friendship turns into something neither of them planned. And she hasn't told him the truth. Because falling for a rookie is complicated enough. Falling for someone who worships your dad? That's a disaster waiting to happen.

BOOK 1 in the Drowning/Bully Standalone Series. WARNING: This book contains intense bullying, explicit scenes, triggering language, violence, and psychological content. I told Caden to cancel his stupid party. He told me, with that infuriating smirk, "Why? Planning to be my snack tonight?" Caden has made my life hell for four years, ever since our parents got married. He's gorgeous, arrogant, and the kind of boy Stanford girls trip over themselves for. Me? I'm the only one who sees right through him. He's a blatant bully, the devil who turned me into a surreptitious one. And now we're stuck sharing the same off-campus apartment for our entire freshman year. Living together means new rules, no boundaries... and a tension I never expected. The closer we get, the harder it becomes to remember why we ever hated each other in the first place- and nothing threatens our pride more than that. *** Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances. This is Caden and Madison's story.

paige bedard learned early that loving something meant sacrificing for it. the early mornings, missed birthdays, and the quiet pressure of carrying a last name hockey already knew. but, there was always one place she didn't have to be paige bedard: connor bedard's little sister, captain of the wisconsin badgers, alternate captain for Team Canada, and star forward of the vancouver goldeneyes. it was the place she could just be paige and that place was wherever macklin celebrini was. they met at thirteen, two north vancouver kids with dreams too big for their bodies. he stayed on the ice after everyone left. she stayed with him. driveways became rinks, summer nights became promises, and somewhere between shared playlists, lake days, and silent understanding, paige fell in love with him. she just never told him. he was macklin, her best friend. her almost. because almost was safer than losing him completely. then, came the leaving- he went to boston to chase the NHL. she went to wisconsin, where she became captain and one of the most dominant players in college hockey before returning home as the face of the goldeneyes. phone calls became texts and texts became nothing. years passed, but feelings didn't. now, at nineteen, paige stands at center ice in milan with a silver medal around her neck and an "A" over her heart. a loss she can't escape. hockey, for the first time, doesn't feel like enough. until she sees him... across a city thousands of miles from where they began, macklin stands there and suddenly she's thirteen again. macklin was never just her first love, he was her unfinished one and some people, no matter how far you skate or how much time passes... you always find your way back to them.

Elena Smith had never worried about hockey boys. She knew who she was, and she knew what she could handle. That certainty starts to crack when her brother, Will Smith, becomes best friends with his teammate Macklin Celebrini-and Elena realizes she may not be as unaffected as she once believed.
