Evan Kade has a secret. He isn't an Alpha. But he's spent years convincing everyone otherwise. Discipline. Control. Suppressant pills that keep every instinct, every reaction, locked away where no one can see them. He's built a version of himself the world can accept. And no one has ever questioned it. No one has ever truly sensed what he is. Until Asher Knox walks into the room. What sparks between them isn't just attraction. It isn't something Evan can ignore or push aside like he's always done. It's a crack in the walls he's spent years building around himself. A flaw in the system. Something that slips beneath his skin and threatens to unravel everything. And the worst part? Asher knows. He sees through the lies almost immediately. And he has absolutely no intention of letting Evan go.

Leo Collins has spent his whole life being exactly what everyone needs him to be: a hero, a weapon, the golden boy who always saves the day. Axel Fierro is everything he shouldn't want-loud, reckless, infuriating, and somehow impossible to stay away from. When a mission goes wrong, Leo ends up thrown into Axel's world, and what starts as irritation slowly turns into something much more dangerous. Alongside Axel's chaotic cousin Oscar, the three of them get dragged into a mess of dangerous missions, buried secrets, government lies, and truths that were never meant to come out. Leo has spent his whole life saving everyone except himself. Axel has spent his whole life changing who he is just to be loved. Falling for each other was never part of the plan-and in a world split between heroes and villains, it might just ruin them both. Because the closer Leo and Axel get, the more they realise the line between good and bad was never as clear as they were taught. And crossing the line between might cost them everything. ONGOING. TW!

(bxb) Axel Hunter hates Will Anderson. The two don't exactly see eye to eye, though that's to be expected of the two most popular boys in their high school, both extremely competitive and sarcastic. So, when the baseball team vandalizes the basketball team's state trophies, they catch the attention of the principal once again. As a punishment, the principal and coaches force the two teams to spend time together at a far-away camp during their spring break-"team bonding," they called it. Axel knew he wouldn't last at this so called camp, not when he's forced to room with Will Anderson, and especially not when he starts to become somewhat bearable.

The Wildcats and Falcons have an irrefutable rivalry that's never been questioned. Alexander "Lex" Hope is the captain of the Falcons basketball team. And Ivan Petrov, the star player of the Wildcats. They're the spearheads of their town's basketball rivalry, causing havoc every time they butt heads. After his homophobic father kicks him out for being gay, closeted Ivan Petrov has no choice but to move in with his biggest rival, Lex Hope. What he first believes to be a temporary arrangement becomes his permanent residence. And the self-obsessed playboy Lex Hope seems... kinder (and harder to resist) than Ivan expects. Despite his local stardom, life isn't easy for Ivan. He has enough to deal with : an alcoholic father, a dying mother, and now: sharing a room with his nemesis. Overwhelmed, all Ivan can now do is live with hope. Quite literally. Suddenly, Ivan not only has to worry about Lex winning the Wildcats-Falcons match, but also Ivan's trust and - most importantly - his heart. Maybe that line between love and hate isn't so thick after all.

-this is a sequel to Fire & Ice- Lake knew the time was coming when everything would go wrong, he just didn't realize it would be this soon. There are a lot of things he can deal with, especially with his team to help out. The fact that The Vault's tagline is that it's "the place nobody ever comes back from" really isn't promising, though. The evidence against him also isn't very reassuring.

Grief does a lot of funny things, like turn an unsuspecting park into a shrine. Or convincing oneself that taking unknown medication is a good idea. It's almost easy for Max to pretend that Damien's not just a hallucination. (This is a novella set between Fire & Ice and the sequel to it)

It seems like everyone Lake knows has already met their other half. He's spent years in waiting but has finally turned his back on fate. The counterpart system is simple but his life is not, so he doesn't expect it to work for him as it has for everyone else. He joins the League as the next logical step in his life. It's the best option for anyone with powers, and Lake can control ice. His new career will serve as a distraction from the disappointment of the counterpart system if nothing else. When Lake is assigned to an undercover operation that he's out of his depth with from the beginning, he gets far more than he bargained for. His friends have told him their stories of how they met their counterparts, but he's pretty sure that he can top all of them after he encounters the son of the man he is supposed to arrest.

Nathaniel Ellis hates hockey. He hates the cold, the noise, the jock energy-and he especially hates Valerian Nox, his twin brother Daniel's intimidating best friend. Quiet, freckled, and forever the black sheep of the Ellis family, Nathaniel would rather stick to badminton courts and bookshelves. But when insomnia and a twist of fate push him into Valerian's orbit, Nathaniel realizes there's more to the "scary hockey star" than icy glares and bruised knuckles. And Valerian? He was never supposed to notice his best friend's brother. He definitely wasn't supposed to want him. But secrets don't stay buried forever, and when jealousy, fake dating, and forbidden attraction collide, someone's heart is bound to break.

Jack Hughes is one of the NHL's brightest stars - fast, fearless, and adored by millions. But behind the highlight reels and locker room smiles, he's hiding a truth he's never dared to speak aloud. Until now. When a quiet connection with a stranger named Leo begins to crack open the armor Jack's built his whole life, he's forced to confront what scares him most: not the game, not the media, but himself. As his world expands beyond the rink, so do the risks - to his career, his team, and the carefully guarded life he's built. Told through the perspectives of Jack, his brother Quinn, and those who love him most, Breaking the Ice is a story about fear, courage, and the people who show up when the lights go out. It's about being the first - and making sure you're not the last. For fans of character-driven romance, slow-burn tension, and stories that hit as hard as a slapshot to the chest, Breaking the Ice is a raw, beautiful celebration of what happens when you stop skating away from the truth - and start chasing it.
