With his parents never home and his older sister away at college he's always alone and is desperate for company. On the first day of junior year his problem is solved for him when he is forced into a conversation. Parker and Paisley meet and he immediately is drawn to her. But he also sees the underlying sad look in her eyes and is determined to break down her walls. What happens when two people so desperate for company meet? Is wanting a partner enough to keep a bond strong and unbreakable?

She never believed in rescue. But then came the hockey goalie who didn't just see her fire-he stepped into it, willing to burn with her. Book 2- Heroine (Book 1 is 'Figurine' go check it out!!) Tessa "Tess" Navarro learned early that heroes don't come for girls like her. In the city, saving yourself isn't selfish-it's survival. With a father who uses his fists to make a point and two younger siblings looking to her like she's the only shield they've got, Tess doesn't have the luxury of hope. Only grit. Only fire. Only the next fight. She doesn't trust. Doesn't flinch. Doesn't break. Not for anyone. Lucian "Luke" Dawson is Lakehurst's star goalie, the backbone of a team built on loyalty and brotherhood. Hockey is more than a sport-it's his escape, his control, his reason to stay grounded. But when Tess storms into his life-all sharp edges, heavy silences, and bruised knuckles-Luke sees the fracture lines she's desperate to hide. She's built for survival. He's built to protect. But she's not some damsel in distress. And he's not the hero she wants. Still, there's something between them. Something electric. Dangerous. Real. But the past doesn't let go easy. And when the line between protector and protected begins to blur, Tess is forced to decide: can you let someone in without letting everything else fall apart? Because in her world, love is a risk. And being someone's heroine... might cost her everything. "He wasn't scared of my darkness. And for the first time in my life, I wasn't scared of someone else seeing it."

2021 Watty's Shortlist! *Mostly edited* T/W: physical abuse "Why did you sign me up for Tinder?" I roll my eyes, "Why else do you think? To get you a girlfriend." "Pretty sure I told you I didn't want one." He retorts and I shake my head quickly. "No, I told you I was going to find you a girlfriend and you said 'sure, whatever you want.' So technically you didn't say no." Alondra Brown has one rule for herself. No messing around with her father's hockey players. However, after a night of getting out of her comfort zone and an instant attraction with a guy in a bar, she finds herself entangled in a lie with none other than Jack Schultz, her father's star hockey player. Avoiding him isn't an option because he actually does need her help, but helping Jack goes against her rule. She shouldn't worry about anything happening with Jack because he's a notorious playboy who doesn't believe in love. Not to mention he also plays hockey. But she isn't immune to his charm. The heart wants what it wants, no matter how much you try to deny it. highest ranking: #41 out of 2.2 million in love
