"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 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, like she belonged. Because she did. Bailey has always been his. Not in the romantic way. Not in the way that complicates things. Just... his best friend. His constant. His safe place. But this summer? This summer is different. Luke is older. The NHL is real. And Bailey isn't just the girl who knows him better than anyone anymore-she's the girl he looks at and has to look away from. The girl whose laugh lingers. The girl he's not supposed to fall for. They don't talk about it. They can't. Because one confession could ruin everything they've built since childhood. Because loving each other means risking the one thing they've never lost. And yet, every stolen glance, every late-night conversation, every almost-touch asks the same dangerous question: What if staying silent hurts more than telling the truth?

Quinn Hughes had his life all planned out - until Jade walked in as his new assistant. Independent, no-nonsense, and totally unimpressed by the NHL captain's charm, Jade was the last person Quinn thought he'd connect with. But as they spent more time together, sparks flew, and the line between assistant and something more blurred. From chaotic media interviews to skating sessions with his family, Quinn and Jade's relationship was anything but easy. Emotions ran high, misunderstandings piled up, and there were moments when they both thought it was too much to handle. But sometimes, the most unexpected people end up changing everything. As Quinn and Jade navigate the ups and downs of their lives in the spotlight, they'll have to figure out if love is worth the risk - or if it's easier to stay in the safe orbit of what they know.
