She swore she'd never skate again, but the ice has a way of pulling you back-especially when the town's hockey star is watching. When Calliope Brooks loses her mother, her life is turned upside down. Forced to leave behind the familiarity of her old world, she moves to the small town of Lakehurst to live with her estranged father, the coach of the local boys' hockey team, the Lakehurst Sirens. Once a promising figure skater, Calliope has sworn off the ice-until a chance encounter with Grayson Maverick, the Sirens' star player and school heartthrob, ignites something she thought she'd lost. As Calliope finds herself drawn back to the rink, she's thrust into the chaotic, competitive world of hockey. Navigating budding friendships, lingering grief, and her growing feelings for Grayson, Calliope discovers that sometimes the only way to move forward is to embrace what makes you whole-on and off the ice. But as she steps into a role no one expected, Calliope must prove she has what it takes to be more than a fragile figurine-and face the pressures of skating with, and against, the boys who dominate the game. #1 icehockey (19th May 2025) #1 hockey (13th April 2025) #1 figureskating (20th April 2025) #1 coachesdaughter (20th April 2025) #2 greif (20th April 2025)

For the first time in years, I'll be around Logan... The boy who broke my heart without ever realizing it was in his hands. ****The Henley Boys is a series of standalones.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

She's panting, flushed and breathless like something from another century. It hurts to look at her, so stunningly alive in a way he isn't. Almost smiling, too. She has the kind of lips that need undiluted devotion. "You've always looked at me," she breathes. Yes, and he finds himself thinking about ruin. The right kind, like his knuckles against her jaw to shake her apart. Freedom. Maybe in another life, he brushes the hair off her shoulder and whispers, 'Eyes on me.' Maybe in another life, they have time. 𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒊𝒕? 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆. She isn't his to protect. He's a cop, she's taken, and rules are rules.

''Tell me how it feels,'' he whispers. "Good," I gasp, my entire body trembling. Deeper. Harder. Perfect. Like we've been doing this for years.

His lips trail down my neck, sending shivers all over. "I love looking at you," he breathes, brushing the hair off my shoulders. "Will you let me?" My wild heart seeks his. "Yes."
