[Now free to read!] Scott Wilson isn't used to being corrected, and he definitely didn't expect to get his biggest dose of criticism by his coach's daughter - Elle Monroe. ***** When Scott Wilson is drafted to try out for the Marlies hockey team, it's easily the best day of his life. He's cocky and for good reason. He's spent his entire life being told that he's a hockey prodigy and he knows that he's on the path to his destiny. Then Elle Monroe shows up, and throws off his entire plan. Elle - the daughter of his coach - is loud, rude, confident, and gets a special kick out of knocking Scott down a peg or two. Scott doesn't want to accept the help she's offering, but eventually he does, and it turns into a lot more than he was expecting. Scott isn't used to a lot of things, but there's one especially that he's never prepared for: a beautiful, loud girl stealing his jersey every day before their practices.

Childhood best friends to enemies to lovers. Alina wants nothing to do with the rebellious bad boy, Liam Somner. Which is difficult, because he goes to her school. And lives on her street. And keeps showing up at her apartment, and sitting in her kitchen, smearing way too much cream cheese on his bagel and... refusing to wear a shirt. Alina and Liam have history. Too much of it, and it's messy and painful, and should be buried deep and forgotten. But Liam feels like there's unfinished business between them. Unfinished business, like finding the burial place of Liam's great grandfather. And saving Oscar, Alina's brother, from his depression. And that promise that Alina and Liam made at midnight, with legs dangling over the East River, to never leave the other behind. Liam and Alina's past is a tangled web of life debts, family secrets, betrayals, and forgotten promises. So even though she swears she hates him, when Alina realises Liam is awake late, she finds unexpected company in her enemy. Two insomniacs, wide awake in the city that never sleeps.

FREE STORY. PAID BONUS CHAPTERS. There's a thin line between love and hate. One thing Rosalie Jackson knows for sure is that what she feels towards star college hockey player Roman King is definitely hate and that feeling is mutual. Having hated each other ever since they met in freshman year under not-so-great circumstances, nothing has changed two years on. What they see as hate everyone else sees as sexual tension, and there are only so many insults they can throw at each other before that tension is released. Their feud continues through junior year and as much as they would love to avoid each other at all costs, they keep getting thrown together under the worst circumstances possible. As their rivalry heats up, so do their consequences. Stuck with each other for a full year, they'll find themselves spending more and more time together than ever before. Hockey games, temptation, and science experiments will go wrong. At the end of it all, maybe, just maybe, they'll become each other's perfect obsession.
