Reid Blackwell is the perfect stereotypical Ice Hockey player: cocky, always wears his hat backwards, and is in love with the idea of himself. He is the reckless bad boy every puck bunny dreams of calling their own, but when his future with the NHL is looming over his head, his team step in to save him from himself. Emiliana Beckett, raised by her famous, World Champion MOTOGP racer brother, is an ambitious law student who has to spend her year abroad working for the University of Michigan's Ice Hockey team, specifically, their star goalie-Reid Blackwell. To make matters worse, she is forced to live mere inches apart from him in the hockey house. She hides her body dysmorphia behind academic perfection, he hides his pressure and pain behind charm and chaos. What will happen when they are forced to find a way to understand one another?

A professional hockey player nearing retirement falls hard for his best friend's much younger and seemingly uninterested sister, but things change when she needs a place to stay and he offers up his home and his bed. *** After one too many drinks and a little too much chemistry, Bryce Roehm wakes up next to Maria Evans-and nothing has ever felt more wrong... or more right. Bryce, a seasoned defenseman for the New York Empires, is in his final season before retirement. Known for his bad-boy reputation and commitment to bachelorhood, he's the last person who should be hooking up with his best friend's little sister. Especially when Maria is eight years younger, working hard to finish college, and nannying for one of his teammates. They agree to keep their one-night stand a secret. No harm, no foul. But secrets never stay buried for long. Maria's finally building a life she's proud of-free from her controlling father and determined to stand on her own two feet. She's not looking for complications. And Bryce? He's as complicated as they come. So when circumstances force them to live under the same roof, one thing becomes clear: How are they supposed to keep their hands-and hearts-to themselves?

Sugar's addicting. So is she. Graham Davis has two addictions: Hockey-and Gracie Daniels. (Not that he knows it yet.) At St. Brown University, Gracie Daniels is the golden girl. Blonde ponytail, perfect smile, always saying yes. So when she's asked to manage PR for the hockey team, she agrees-hoping to help thaw their notoriously icy captain. But Graham Davis doesn't melt. He's distant, guarded, and doesn't need help from a pink-sweater-wearing perfectionist... until he starts noticing things he shouldn't. Skipped meals. Covered bruises. Flinches too small to be accidental. Gracie is sweet, bright, and hiding more than anyone knows. And Graham can't stop looking.

Sterling Carter's life is built on control-perfect grades, perfect form, perfect trajectory straight to the Olympic volleyball team. At twenty-two, she's the star outside hitter at the University of Michigan and top of her class in dentistry, the golden product of an old-money family that only loves success. One game, one bad landing, and one opponent's foot hidden under the net is all it takes to blow it apart. With a torn ACL and PCL and a nine-to-twelve-month recovery, Sterling's dream is suddenly on life support. The scouts stop calling. Her parents pull away. For the first time in her life, there's no plan she can grind her way through, no version of "try harder" that will fix what's broken. Enter Maddox King-twenty-four, captain of Michigan's D1 hockey team, human freight train on the ice, and soft-hearted menace off it. He has everything Sterling doesn't: a loud, loving family, a stupidly loyal group of friends, and the unshakable belief that people are worth more than what they can do. When a twist of timing and one overinvested best friend pull Sterling into Maddox's orbit, he becomes the one person who refuses to treat her like she's ruined. As the season she was supposed to dominate turns into a year on the sideline, Sterling has to learn how to exist without the one thing that's always defined her-and decide whether letting Maddox in is one more risky play she can't afford... or the first choice she makes entirely for herself. Book #1 in the 'Carter' series

When Ava Laurent returns to the city to take over her late father's billion-dollar empire, she expects pressure, politics, and power struggles-not the hockey star who crashes into her life on a night out and changes everything. Lucas Hale is at the peak of his career: adored by the city, unstoppable on the ice, and determined to win a championship. The last thing he expects is to fall for the sharp-tongued, guarded woman who glides across his world like she was born on ice. Their chemistry is instant. Their timing is terrible. And their connection is impossible to ignore. As Ava fights to prove herself in the boardroom and Lucas battles through injury, rehab, and the spotlight, their secret romance becomes the city's favourite love story-whether they're ready or not. From quiet midnight rinks to championship nights and wedding vows whispered at center ice, this is a love story about two people choosing each other through pressure, chaos, and every version of forever.

First book 🏒. Starting college was supposed to be Violet Vale's escape plan. New country. New city. New campus. And then there's Ethan Maddox-tattoos inked like warnings, that infuriating smirk, and a six-foot-five presence that fills every room like he owns it. Her brother's best friend. Her worst enemy. And now? Her accidental shadow at Northbridge University. Violet's spent years trading insults and eye-rolls with Ethan, ever since he became an honorary part of her family. But there's nothing brotherly about the way he looks at her now-or the way her pulse reacts when he calls her Vi like it's some kind of challenge. He's cocky. Infuriating. One year older. And the only person on campus who makes her feel anything at all. They're not friends. Definitely not something more. But the line between hate and something far messier is starting to blur. And when hearts get tangled... Someone's going to fall. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.

The rule was simple: Don't touch the captain's sister. Chase Sterling lived by it. Garrett Miller was ready to break it. HANNAH I've spent three years pining for Chase Sterling-the star center of Briar's hockey team and my brother Hayes's best friend. He's the man I've always wanted, the one I've dropped every hint for, but after a crushing, "noble" rejection at a frat party, I finally got the message. To Chase, I'm just Hayes's little sister. I'm a liability. I'm off-limits. So, when my brother's other teammate, Garrett, looks at me like I'm a prize instead of a problem? I don't pull away. Making out with Garrett was supposed to be a distraction. It was supposed to help me move on. But then a housing disaster hits, and suddenly I'm moving into the off-campus townhouse with four hockey players: my brother, Jacob, Travis... and the two men currently fighting for my attention. CHASE I'm a man of discipline. I have to be if I want to make the pros. That discipline is the only thing that kept me from hauling Hannah into a dark corner and ruining our lives the moment I saw her in that champagne dress. I did the right thing. I rejected her to save my friendship with Hayes. But now she's living in the room next to mine. She's flirting with Garrett in the kitchen, and Garrett isn't the type to care about the "Bro Code." He wants her, he's claiming her, and I have to watch them "fool around" without a label while I'm dying inside. Living with her is a nightmare. Watching Garrett touch her is a war. And the more Hannah and Garrett heat up, the more my self-control starts to burn. I may have told her she was off-limits, but seeing her with someone else is making me want to break every rule I've ever lived by.

She ran from the ice. But the past always finds a way to catch up. Irina has spent years hiding from the world she was born into : the daughter of a hockey legend, determined to bury both her name and her scars. A new college, a new life and a new name. No one here knows who she really is. Until someone does. When a desperate coach uncovers her secret, Irina is pulled back into the game she swore off, helping a struggling team rise from the ashes. But as old instincts return, so do feelings she thought she'd left behind. Among the players and the ghosts of her past, someone is getting too close, too familiar. The harder Irina fights to stay hidden, the more her walls begin to crack. Because some secrets can't stay buried forever... and neither can the heart. [BOOK ONE IN THE PLAY SERIES]

Aubrey Carr doesn't do athletes, especially not hockey players with egos bigger than the rink. As a rising star in the journalism department and a legendary campus partier, she's used to being the one in control of her stories, her image, and definitely her heart. Easton Black doesn't do rules. Late to practice, always one punch away from suspension, and carrying more baggage than he lets on, he's a walking headline waiting to happen. He's also the best player on the team, and he knows it. When Aubrey gets stuck shadowing Easton for a make-or-break feature story, sparks fly in all the wrong (and right) directions. He's cocky, infuriating, and way too observant. She's bold, untouchable, and exactly the distraction he doesn't need. The only thing they have in common? They'd rather lose the game than fall for each other. Too bad life and love don't play fair.
