William Callahan is the captain of the nation's #1 college hockey team. At Lakewood University, he's more than a hockey player-he's campus royalty. Everyone knows his name. Except the new girl. After accidentally spilling coffee all over him on her first day, Tatum Bennett wants nothing to do with the cocky hockey captain. She's not looking for attention, romance, or anything that has to do with hockey. She's simply looking for a fresh start. Because no one at Lakewood knows the truth. Not that she's the head coach's daughter. Not that she grew up inside hockey rinks. Not that she's spent years trying to escape a life where hockey always came first. As William finds himself drawn to the one girl who couldn't care less about his reputation, Tatum is forced to keep the biggest secret on campus. Because the longer William falls for her... The harder it will be when he discovers who she really is. A college hockey romance filled with slow burn tension, forced proximity, hidden identities, found family, witty banter, and a love story that proves some hearts are worth the risk.

Sterling Carter's life is built on control-perfect grades, perfect form, perfect trajectory straight to the Olympic volleyball team. At twenty-two, she's the star outside hitter at the University of Michigan and top of her class in dentistry, the golden product of an old-money family that only loves success. One game, one bad landing, and one opponent's foot hidden under the net is all it takes to blow it apart. With a torn ACL and PCL and a nine-to-twelve-month recovery, Sterling's dream is suddenly on life support. The scouts stop calling. Her parents pull away. For the first time in her life, there's no plan she can grind her way through, no version of "try harder" that will fix what's broken. Enter Maddox King-twenty-four, captain of Michigan's D1 hockey team, human freight train on the ice, and soft-hearted menace off it. He has everything Sterling doesn't: a loud, loving family, a stupidly loyal group of friends, and the unshakable belief that people are worth more than what they can do. When a twist of timing and one overinvested best friend pull Sterling into Maddox's orbit, he becomes the one person who refuses to treat her like she's ruined. As the season she was supposed to dominate turns into a year on the sideline, Sterling has to learn how to exist without the one thing that's always defined her-and decide whether letting Maddox in is one more risky play she can't afford... or the first choice she makes entirely for herself. Book #1 in the 'Carter' series

Rosie Moving to New York was my fresh start, a chance to get away from my disaster of a hometown, and maybe learn how to breathe on my own. Romance? Not on the itinerary. So when I meet a charming, overly confident guy at a bar with golden-blond hair and too many dimples than should be legal, and way too much flirt - I don't expect to see him again. Then I do... on the ice, the very next night. Dylan I've met plenty of girls in bars. Most of them know who I am, Rosie didn't. And maybe that's why I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was introverted and blunt and completely unimpressed with my attempt at a pick up line, which was honestly kind of refreshing. Seeing her in the stands at my game felt like fate. Running into her again afterward? Game on. A sweet, slow-burn hockey rom-com about unlikely connections, quiet confidence, and falling for someone who sees past the spotlight.

"The lease is signed. The rules are simple. Don't touch my roommates. Too bad nobody told them the rules." Nadia Reyes needed cheap rent and a fresh start. What she got was a lease she can't break, a brother who won't stop calling, and four infuriatingly attractive football players who have every reason to keep their distance. She didn't know they were her brother Marcus's teammates when she signed the paperwork. By the time she figured it out, the keys were already in her hand. Now she's living under the same roof as: Cole Davenport - starting quarterback, chronic flirt, and the only person on campus who makes her laugh and want to throw something at the same time. Rhett Calloway - team captain, built like a wall, speaks in grunts and meaningful silences. She's pretty sure he hates her. She's less sure she hates him back. Zac Torres - the hothead with a short fuse and an even shorter patience for her sharp mouth. Every argument ends with them standing three inches apart, breathing hard. Eli Nguyen - kind, careful, and quietly falling apart every time she smiles at him. He knows better. He just can't stop. The rules are clear: Marcus's sister is completely off limits. Nadia's made it very clear she doesn't need anyone's protection. And yet - boundaries blur when you share a kitchen, a couch, a front porch at 2am. She's not here to fall for anyone. They're not supposed to let her. Some rules were made to be broken. Off Limits is a contemporary reverse harem romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, forbidden dynamics, slow burns that actually pay off, and a heroine who refuses to apologize for taking up space. She doesn't choose. That's the whole point.

Emery Ashford had a smart mouth. She was known for it. As an outgoing teenager Emery was always hanging out with friends and with a lack of filter she always said what was on her mind. Especially if it had to do with that irritative jock. She hated him with every fiber in her body. She hated his charming nature, his arrogance, his lack of care, and the way he got on her nerves. But the thing she hated most, although she'd never admit it, is that she would stick up for him. Not like he ever needed it. She wanted nothing more than to get away from him. But it's completely impossible. He lived right across the street. Everything about senior year had been going smoothly until, Bang. Jackson Riley had a pretty mouth. Pretty face too. As the school's football captain he's always been the talk. For years he's been entertained by the smartass that is Emery Ashford. She was a pain in his ass, but he knew he'd be bored without her. When he ends up giving Emery another concussion, he's determined to make the last two months of her senior year hell. That's if he hasn't been doing that already. There's only one thing in his way. Concussion or not Emery isn't going down without a fight. It seems the more she doesn't want him around, the more he happens to be. She thinks her life is spiraling into the ground...but maybe she has it all wrong. With an offer she can't refuse and a heat of the moment bet, it's time for the both of them to realize that there's a thin line between love and hate. And with an injury like this, that line is surely to blur. #1 in annoying [12/30/22] #1 in brothersbestfriend [1/6/23] #1 in hate [1/15/23] #1 in teens [1/28/23] #1 in tension [3/18/23] #1 in summer [5/8/23] #1 in player [5/13/23] Started [Oct 2022] Finished [May 2023]
