LAST 4 CHAPTERS COMING ON MAY 19, 20, 21, & 22 @ 7 PM EDT A sport psychology intern. The star forward on a professional hockey team. The only thing standing between them? The rules. The Toronto Saints aren't who Harlow Marchesa asked for, but they're who she got. Months away from graduating with her Master's in Sport Psychology, she's been tasked with helping this talented, worshipped, and yet, underperforming professional hockey team achieve playoff success for her internship. Her goal is clear: Make the most of this high-stakes opportunity to further her career. And speaking of goals--hello, Angelo Bradford. Despite the near instant mutual attraction with the star forward who's practically a celebrity in her hometown, Harlow knows he's completely off limits. That's been hammered home since her first shift as the intern. They try to fight it, but it's not long before the professional turns personal, with stolen glances and kisses that are hot enough to melt the ice. And if they get caught? Well, it just might be game over. For both of them. Cover designed on Canva with photo by Samantha Gades on Unsplash.

He trashes my ice. I ruin his game plan. Lacy Carter runs Lakeside Rink with a clipboard, a perfect three-turn, and a zero-tolerance policy for cocky hockey captains. Enter Beckett "Beck" Rourke-a walking penalty who leaves slush, rule violations, and smug grins in his wake. When the city threatens to cut funding unless they cohost a winter fundraiser, the rink manager and the team's golden boy are forced onto the same sheet of ice. Their truce lasts exactly one practice. Beckett needs help with his edges; Lacy needs his team to stop treating her rink like a demolition derby. Midnight lessons turn into breath-stealing proximity. A fake date for donors becomes a real problem for self-control. One hotel room, one very loud goal horn, and one viral hallway kiss later, the town ships them harder than a Zamboni after overtime. But saving the rink means playing by the rules Lacy swore she'd never break again, and Beck's career can't survive a scandal. When the cameras catch fire and sponsors get skittish, he'll have to decide if he's protecting his image-or the woman who makes every inch of ice feel like home. Enemies on the surface. Partners under pressure. And when they finally stop fighting the pull? Let's just say the boards aren't the only things getting rocked. A filthy-sweet, enemies-to-lovers rom-com with a molten slow burn, explosive payoff, and a guaranteed HEA.

Six years ago, Blanchard Collins packed her bags, boarded a bus to Houston, and never looked back. She left behind her abusive father, the town that never forgave her for speaking her mind, and Rueben Bailey, the boy who broke her heart the night before they were supposed to run away together. Now twenty-four, Blanchard returns home with her five-year-old daughter, Willow, and a dying mother who's asked for one final thing-her presence. But coming home means facing the ghosts she thought she'd buried, including the man she's never truly stopped loving. Rueben "Benny" Bailey did what his family expected. Stayed, took over the farm, and proposed to the girl everyone said was right for him. But when Blanchard walks back into church with a little girl who looks just like him, everything he's built starts to fall apart.

"You don't have to tell me everything, just let me be the one who's there for you." She lied to fit in. He's breaking under pressure. But when their worlds collide, truth is the only thing that can save them. Maliyah Thompson is used to being invisible. At Milton Prep a private school on the Upper East Side, she wears knockoff designer bags and tells fake stories. No one knows she takes the train back to Brooklyn. No one knows her mom works two shifts to keep her enrolled. And no one knows the price she's paying to stay. Liam Weber isn't invisible. He's the new star athlete, handpicked from Europe to lead the team to a champion win. But under the surface? He's unraveling. The pressure, the secrets, the father who only sees him as a ticket to the NBA. When Liam accidentally slams a door into Maliyah's face, neither of them expects that moment to change everything. But it does.

He smirks, "You've finally cracked." I furrow my eyebrows, "You were baiting me? Jerk, just turn off your music!" "Or what?" He asks teasingly. "Or..or I'll tell the front office!" He shrugs, "Go ahead, you're the only one complaining." I glare at him, "Ooh you are so!" He looks at me amusingly, "So what?" "So!" He brings his face closer to mine, "Say what you want to say." His voice was low as he stared into my eyes. I was suddenly mute, completely drawn into those warm brown eyes. I don't know why I did, but I leaned into him. Our lips finally colliding. His arms pull my body closer to his as he kisses me hungrily. - It all started with a stupid dare. 21-year old transfer student Amina Bassey always had a plan.

𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 ▶▶▶ Ellie Higgins has always known how to hold a room, and how to hold a boy at arm's length. Sharp-tongued, magnetic, and used to being chased, Ellie prefers her admirers flustered and fumbling, safely under her spell. Love, to her, has always been a game she controls. When her father, Marcus, reunites with his old school friends for a summer at a secluded lakeside cabin following the funeral of their beloved former basketball coach, Ellie expects nothing more than awkward nostalgia, forced small talk, and a long, boring few weeks in the woods. But the summer shifts the moment Ellie meets Matt Feder, the eldest son of one of her father's closest friends. Matt is nothing like the boys back home. Quiet but not shy, observant but never overeager, he's a strange contradiction: broad-shouldered and strong from years in the gym, yet bookish and thoughtful, with a dry wit that sneaks up on her. For the first time, Ellie isn't sure who's in control. What begins as a challenge, a summer fling to pass the time, slowly deepens into something neither of them expected. ▶▶▶ "I don't promise things," I warn him. "I'm not asking you to." "I don't like not being in control." "You can be." "And if this blows up in my face-" "I'll still be there," he says gently. ▶▶▶ TW: This book will consist of drugs, alcohol, sexual content, pregnancy, bad parenting, and jealousy.
