And you'll always be by my side til the day I die - Zara Larsson "She moves from London to start over again, she's not chasing romance, she's trying to find herself. With famous actor parents and a life that's always felt pre-written everything changes when she meets a mysterious guy she can't forget at a party."

𓂃 𓈒𓏸‪‪ 𓇼 Summer had always been my favorite season. Sun-warmed sand, salty air, and the beach house in Cousins, North Carolina that held a lifetime of memories. Every year, my mom, my brother, and I spent our summers there with her best friend and her kids, Will and Grace. Will was two years older than me, just enough to make him feel untouchable when we were kids, and impossible to ignore as we grew older. We were inseparable every summer, even as life pulled us back to Massachusetts and Pennsylvanian the rest of the year. But the summer going into my senior year of high school was different. Will came back already knowing he'd been drafted by the San Jose Sharks, and we both understood it would be our last summer the same way. Maybe that's why friendship finally crossed a line, turning into something deeper, reckless, and unforgettable. When Will left for the NHL, he took that summer with him. The next two summers passed without him, and while he seemed to forget what we shared, I was left holding onto a love that only existed in the warmth of that final summer 𓇼 𓂃 𓈒𓏸 Will Smith ( Hockey) X fem!oc

Sophie Amelia Tkachuk was the first girl to ever qualify for the World Juniors, and was the youngest Tkachuk sibling, the little sister of famous NHLers, Brady Tkachuk and Matthew Tkachuk, and friends with Quinn, Jack and Luke Hughes. Ever since Sophie was a little girl, she dreamed of playing hockey with her brothers in the NHL. But when she was told that she couldn't be able to do that due to her being a girl, her world crashed. Ever since then, Sophie trained for days on end, to hopefully prove to the NHL that she was good enough to play, but deep down, she knew that would never happen. But little did Sophie know, the NHL had other plans for her on June 28-29, 2023. A/n: Connor Bedard doesn't come in until later in the story, as the first few chapters are just to explain Sophie's background and her journey up until June 28, 2023. I'll try to publish as often as possible as I have a lot of ideas for this book, but I can't promise anything. I do hope you like the book and any comments you might have, I'd love to hear. :) -Skylo

*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:coming soon *✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:

You showed up to the Tank in your favorite Sharks jersey, expecting nothing more than a good view and maybe an overtime win. But during warm-ups, William Eklund skates by, eyes locking with yours through the glass-and he doesn't look away. He slows, smirks, and taps his stick right in front of you, like it's a challenge. The air crackles. Every game after, he finds you. A look here, a smirk there-his gaze lingering like a secret. You weren't planning on becoming his favorite distraction, but now? He's making it very clear he wants to be yours, too.

They were focused on their futures-not falling for each other. Gabi Johnson has one rule: don't get attached. She's a psychology major with a passion for music, a sharp tongue, and a past she's worked hard to outrun. Love? Not part of the plan. Especially not with Will Smith-the cocky, charming NHL rookie who somehow gets under her skin in every possible way. Will lives for the rush of the game and the next big win. He doesn't have time for distractions, including Gabi, the stubborn girl who challenges him at every turn and constantly bickers with him at every chance she gets. What starts as harmless bickering slowly turns into something harder to ignore. They're both chasing dreams, both terrified of slowing down but maybe some things are worth pausing for and when Gabi's past begins to catch up, she'll have to decide whether to keep running... Or let someone run beside her.

Lex has always kept her priorities straight; focus on nursing school, avoid unnecessary distractions, and keep her guard up. As Will's best friend, she's spent plenty of time around hockey players, but none of them have ever made her second-guess herself. Then there's Macklin Celebrini, easygoing, patient, and nothing like she expected. What starts as harmless banter soon turns into something deeper, forcing Lex to confront feelings she isn't sure she's ready for. As the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur, she's faced with a choice: keep her walls up or take a chance on the one person who just might prove that some risks are worth taking.
