Ella Fantilli has two rules: never date her brothers' teammates, and never let a hockey boy get under her skin. Luke Hughes does both. As a star soccer player and athletic trainer-in-training at the University of Michigan, Ella has her hands full balancing her sport, her studies, and the chaos of being surrounded by hockey players-including her brothers and their endlessly dramatic teammates. But everything gets more complicated when she meets Luke, cocky, infuriating, and wearing the same number as her: 43. Their rivalry starts on day one-with chirps, glares, and competitive tension that's impossible to ignore. He's her professional nemesis. They're supposed to hate each other. But when fate throws them back together years later in New Jersey-both working for the Devils-the rivalry burns hotter than ever. And this time, there's no one around to stop them. Enemies to teammates. Teammates to something more. They were always destined to crash.

Luke Hughes Imagines and Smuts

Her debut album became a wildfire. A breakup story wrapped in poetry and pain. And Luke? He became the boy behind the lyrics-hated, dissected, mythologized. But heartbreak doesn't always stay finished. When Luke returns, quietly and unexpectedly, Ella is faced with the version of him she never wrote about-the one who's grown, who listens, who stays.

Reid Blackwell is the perfect stereotypical Ice Hockey player: cocky, always wears his hat backwards, and is in love with the idea of himself.

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?

She ran away from home with nothing but a broken heart and a car that barely made it. One fight, one night, one decision...and everything changed. Desperate for somewhere to stay, Avery answered an ad for a room and ended up moving in with Rhett...a tattooed, cold, pro hockey captain who thrives on control, discipline, and dominance both on and off the ice. Commitment isn't in his vocabulary. Neither are second chances. He's chaos in skates and trouble in leather jackets, sharp edges wrapped in muscle and attitude, and he makes it painfully clear that he doesn't want her in his space, in his routine, in his carefully controlled world. They clash from the start. Power against defiance. Fire against gasoline. Too similar. Too stubborn. Too damaged in different ways. She's soft, but not weak. A good girl who knows how to party, dance, and forget the world when the music gets loud enough. He's adrenaline and aggression, fueled by late-night games, bruised knuckles, and a hunger for control that doesn't turn off when the crowd goes home. Closed off. Possessive. Allergic to feelings. Living together becomes a dangerous game of boundaries, tension, and lingering looks that last a second too long. Every shared space feels like a challenge. Every accidental touch feels like a dare. Neither of them are willing to admit that the pull between them burns hotter than any fight on the ice...or that surrendering might be the one thing Rhett fears more than losing. But the past doesn't stay buried forever. Her mother returns to haunt her, reopening old wounds. And just when Avery starts to feel safe...just when it starts to feel real...Rhett does what he does best. He runs. Because falling is easy...but staying is the dangerous part.
