"If you feel it too... then maybe we were never just friends." Luke Hughes has never come home without Bailey Parker waiting. Michigan summers were always the same: Luke, Jack, and Quinn flying back the moment the NHL season ended. Lake days. Late nights. Inside jokes that never faded. And Bailey-his childhood best friend-right there in the middle of it all. She was his constant. His safe place. His. But not in a way that complicated things. Until this summer. A lingering look by the bonfire and a sudden shift in the air change everything. Suddenly, the boundary they spent a decade building feels fragile. As the summer heat turns friendship into something consuming, Luke has to decide if he's willing to risk the most important relationship in his life for the one thing he's always secretly wanted.

Quinn Hughes had his entire life perfectly mapped out. Then Jade walked in. Independent, hyper-efficient, and totally unimpressed by the NHL captain's charm, Jade is supposed to manage his chaotic schedule, not his personal life. But as late nights at the rink turn into shared secrets, the strict line between boss and assistant begins to blur. From damage-controlling media disasters to surviving skating sessions with his hockey-royalty family, navigating their undeniable spark is anything but easy. With the press watching his every move, Quinn has to decide if crossing the line with Jade is a professional hazard-or the best thing he never saw coming.

Margo Johnson knows exactly how to control a narrative as the social media manager for the New Jersey Devils. Luke Hughes, the team's quiet defenseman and her longtime college friend, knows exactly how to ignore one. For years, they've kept things strictly platonic-built on late-night phone calls, inside jokes, and off-the-record banter. Then a candid photo of them laughing goes viral, and the internet completely loses its mind shipping them. To capitalize on the hype and distract the press from a few messy team headlines, they agree to a harmless PR stunt: fake dating. But staging hand-holding for the grid and playing boyfriend for the cameras is a lot harder than Margo expected. As old, buried feelings resurface during long road trips and late-night arena edits, the lines completely blur. Now, Margo has to face the one headline she can't spin-the one where she falls for her best friend.
