*Being Published in 2022* ❝You can't deny that you're attracted to me, Nyx. Instead of fighting it, let's see what happens,❞ he grumbled, hands roaming my body. His thumb brushed my bottom lip. ❝Open up for me, baby.❞ -------------------------------------------------------- Nyx just can't seem to escape her eternal night, the very darkness she was named after. She tries to play her cards right, however, the outcome is a paradox. Whilst she obtains the results she wanted, it comes at the expense of some of her relationships. Angry at the world, her hatred is ravenous for none other than Beckham Hunt, captain of the ice hockey team. Beckham loathes Nyx Taylor after what she's done, that much he is certain of. Nobody boils his blood as she does and when she's hired to assist his team during championship season, he discerns that there's more to her story than meets the eye. She was always the villain in his story. But, suddenly she's the plot twist he never saw coming. Each glare and scowl and insult piles up, put under tremendous pressure by their mutual hatred. Yet, peeking through their fury clouded vision, they find the centre of their relationship blazing. Like two rival stars gravitating towards each other, Nyx and Beckham can do nothing when the law of attraction forces them to accept that passion doesn't always mean hatred, but perhaps something more.

Brie Thompson has played ice hockey her entire life, and she doesn't intend to stop when she starts college. Not even when she finds out that her new school's only team is for "males exclusively". Brie has dealt with hockey douchebags her entire life, so it's nothing new when the team captain claims that they can't have a girl on the team. And it's certainly not going to stop her from playing, either. But if the captain won't back down without a fight, then game on. There's only one problem: Brie's heart seems to be determined to play a different game with the captain. Falling for him in the process was certainly not part of the plan. ✍︎︎ *plenty of dialogue and very little descriptions/world building in the first few chapters* (because I think world building is boring and just want to get to the plot, lol). Also, this is Wattpad and therefore not award-winning writing. So if you're picky about that, go read a published book that has been proofread several times by plenty of people instead of reading and then complaining about this one.
