Janeisha "Neisha" Bambi has always survived by keeping a low profile. She don't get caught up in the kind of business that comes with bodies, secrets, and street names that echo. But all it takes is one night-one favor for her best friend-to slide her straight into the orbit of Seven "Saint" Carter. Saint is discipline wrapped in menace. A man the streets don't just respect,they fear. The type Neisha promised herself she'd never look at twice. He doesn't chase, beg, or explain. Yet somehow, he does all of this for her. And when that calm, unreadable gaze settles on Neisha, her careful world starts to crack. Now Saint's patience is running out, Neisha's defenses are falling apart and the pull between them is starting to feel less like a choice and more like fate. He's trying to shield her from the life he lives. She's trying to decide if loving him is salvation or self-destruction.

{18+] When a rival goalie gives Isla a wrong number, she has no idea she's texting her brother's teammate. ***** Isla Watson can't stand hockey players. Not that anybody knows that. To the outside world, she's a hockey aficionado, running a successful social media account that goes behind the scenes of the NHL's Saskatoon Storm. The only thing colder than her 'Isla on Ice' page is her relationship with her brother's teammate, who resents everything about social media. When a rival team's goalie gives Isla a deliberately wrong number, she finally has a chance to take a break from putting on a show for the camera and let someone see the real girl behind the screen. Seb Cooper has a reputation for dropping the gloves. His fight on the ice is only matched by his battle with his D-partner's gorgeous sister, who he's clashed with ever since they drunkenly hooked up three years ago. She's just another 'influencer' who prioritises internet clout over real connections. Fortunately, the girl on the other end of his phone is far more down to earth, and he can finally talk to someone without worrying about ulterior motives. When Isla is tasked with creating a video series about learning to skate, an injured Seb is assigned as her teacher. The only thing they can agree on is their burning mutual attraction that melts the ice. Little do they know, they've been anonymously texting each other for months. Hidden in those messages are lies, secrets, and vulnerabilities, and when their two worlds collide, Isla and Seb must decide which version is their reality.

"Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right?
