Book 1 of the Quinn Hughes Series ______________________________ ELEANOR GRACE KLEIN has always been a dreamer. Growing up in the heart of Toronto, she was the girl who saw the world in stories, the one who could turn an ordinary moment into something magical. Affectionate, thoughtful, and effortlessly carefree, Eleanor moved through life with a quiet confidence, her intelligence shining in everything she did. When the Hughes brothers moved to Toronto the year she turned thirteen, her world changed forever. From the moment she met them, they became more than just friends-they were family. Through every late-night skate, every backyard game, and every moment in between, the Hughes boys were her safe place, they were the family she never knew that she needed. But as they grow up, Eleanor finds herself tangled in a truth too big to keep to herself. One night, she reveals a secret to Jack-something about his brother that he never saw coming. The fallout is immediate, their bond shattering in an argument neither of them can take back. When the Hughes family moves to Michigan, the distance becomes more than just physical. Calls go unanswered, messages remain unsent, and the once-unbreakable connection between Eleanor and Jack fades into silence. Years later, when fate brings them back into each other's lives, old wounds resurface, and Eleanor must face the truth: some stories don't end the way you expect-but that doesn't mean they're over.

"If you feel it too... then maybe we were never just friends." Luke Hughes has never come home without Bailey Parker waiting. Michigan summers were always the same: Luke, Jack, and Quinn flying back the moment the NHL season ended. Lake days. Late nights. Inside jokes that never faded. And Bailey-his childhood best friend-right there in the middle of it all. She was his constant. His safe place. His. But not in a way that complicated things. Until this summer. A lingering look by the bonfire and a sudden shift in the air change everything. Suddenly, the boundary they spent a decade building feels fragile. As the summer heat turns friendship into something consuming, Luke has to decide if he's willing to risk the most important relationship in his life for the one thing he's always secretly wanted.

He plays to win. She's not here to lose her heart. When Anya Lind, the coach's bright-eyed daughter with a degree in PR and a wardrobe straight out of Stockholm, joins the New Jersey Devils media team, she's determined to prove herself-not just as someone's daughter, but as a woman with grit, goals, and a real career. Enter Jack Hughes: the golden boy of the Devils, beloved by fans, unstoppable on the ice, and the type of charming chaos Anya has sworn to avoid. He's funny, sharp, and always in the spotlight. She's behind the scenes, camera in hand, determined to keep things strictly professional. But locker rooms, team flights, and late-night media scrambles have a funny way of blurring lines. As the season heats up and sparks fly off the ice, Anya and Jack find themselves toeing the line between friendship, flirtation, and something deeper. But with eyes on them from every angle-and a career that can't afford scandal-falling for each other might be the riskiest play of all. A slow-burn, realistic sports romance about ambition, loyalty, and the kind of love that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.
