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.

"From the shock of discovery to the miracle of birth, Lucy and Tim's world changes with every heartbeat. What begins as an unexpected surprise grows into the greatest adventure of their lives. Together, they navigate the ups and downs of pregnancy-morning sickness, doctor's visits, late-night cravings, fears, and hopes-while learning to lean on each other more than ever before. By their side is Violet, Tim's mother, whose warmth and wisdom guide Lucy through the challenges of carrying her first child, filling the painful absence left by Lucy's own parents. As the months unfold, every new milestone-tiny kicks, ultrasounds, cravings, and emotional breakdowns-becomes a reminder that life doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. Through laughter, tears, and Violet's steady love, Tim and Lucy discover that family isn't measured by blood or by flawless moments, but by the people who show up, stay, and hold you when the road feels impossible. And when their daughter finally arrives, they realize that this journey wasn't just about becoming parents-it was about becoming a family."

Lucy Chen thought she had her life figured out-until everything fell apart. Two weeks after her breakup with Tim Bradford, the man who once felt like home, Lucy is barely speaking to him and trying to find her own path. Living with heartbreak (and her best friend) , she discovers something that changes everything: she's pregnant. Not ready to face the past, she asks for a transfer far from California, keeping her secret close to her heart. When she moves to Hawaii, she starts over-buys a house, makes new friends, and prepares for a future that no one could have predicted. But life has a way of turning the unexpected into something magical. Nine months later, Lucy welcomes three beautiful, spirited children into the world: two girls and a boy, each with their own quirks, challenges, and unshakable charm. For three years, Lucy raises her children with love, laughter, and stories of a man they've never met, showing them a photo of their father so they'll know what he looks like. And while she builds a life in Hawaii, her heart quietly wonders if the past will ever catch up. When Lucy finally returns to California, she's not prepared for the chaos and joy that follow. A casual trip to the station becomes a whirlwind of emotions when her children almost run into someone who doesn't yet know they're his. Tim Bradford. And when he hugs her, it's like no time has passed-but everything has changed. Now, Lucy and Tim navigate laughter, tears, and the unspoken past as she introduces their children to a father they never knew. From playground ice cream to bedtime stories, they learn what it means to be a family-messy, beautiful, and imperfectly perfect. With love, heartbreak, second chances, and three little hearts that tie them together forever, The Prince in the Picture is a heartfelt, emotional story that will make you laugh, cry, and fall in love with the chaos and wonder of family life all over again.

Tim Bradford has it all: fame, fortune, and fans who chant his name from the stands. But when the lights fade and the cheers die down, he's left with the one thing he can't seem to win-family. Behind the tough exterior of a superstar athlete is a man desperate for something real. Lucy Chen is one of the biggest names in music, her voice selling out arenas across the world. But while her career is soaring, her love life is a disaster. How can she write the love songs her fans crave when she can't even find someone willing to stand by her side on tour-let alone kiss her like they mean it? Especially if her boyfriend doesn't truly love her. When they cross paths and their worlds collide, Tim and Lucy must learn to navigate the chaos of fame, the meddling of their best friends at Mid-Wilshire police station, and the one thing scarier than the tabloids - falling in love. Because sometimes, the right person doesn't just change the rules of the game. They're the ultimate Game Changer.

When photography student, Willow Kennedy, gets offered an internship with her college's renowned ice hockey team, The Michigan Wolverines, she anticipates three things: 1) Her twin brother being an unbearable and over-protective nightmare. 2) Her photographs not making any real impact whatsoever. 3) The team completely shutting out the curly-haired girl pointing a camera in their faces. What Willow didn't take into account, however, was the Wolverine's team captain. Rumoured NHL first draft pick, dreamboat and total game changer- Tate Wilder. With his infectious dimpled smile, sparkling green eyes and addictive personality, Tate quickly turns Willow's internship into a life-changing and eye-opening experience- one filled with love, friendship and opportunities. Willow didn't meet the Michigan Wolverines looking for love, and funnily enough neither did Tate, but love soon found them. ********* "Pretty please?" Her lip juts out in an irresistible pout and you'd almost think she was a sweet innocent flower judging by the puppy dog eyes she's flashing me. But that image is little tarnished by the hand she has dipped into my boxers. I can feel my Adams apple bob as I reply. "O-okay. Fine, you win this time." The smile I get in response is absolutely blinding. A full, mega-watt grin with teeth, crinkled eyes and blush on the apples of her cheek. I'll let her win everything if I get that fucking smile in return.
