Quinn Hughes has the world watching him and no one actually seeing him. New captain of the Vancouver Canucks. Golden boy on the surface. But behind the press conferences and perfectly tailored suits is a man unraveling slowly, quietly. The kind of man who smiles like it hurts and doesn't let anyone close enough to see. Until her. She barely remember the night. But he's spent every night since remembering only her. Michigan. A country festival. She walked wearing denim shorts and a don't-fuck-with-me smile, smelling spicy. She didn't give him her name. She barely gave him a second look. But Quinn? He's been building fantasies around her ever since. All-consuming ones. Elizabeth Woods. Pediatric intern. Raised in the shadows of a mother who loved like a loaded gun. She's gentle in a way that feels dangerous, like she's trying to undo years of damage with one soft look and steady hands. She's the kind of woman who tucks blankets around strangers but doesn't flinch when someone screams. She's standing across from him, stunned, breathless, just as fucking shocked. Because this city's too big. Too full. And still, somehow they found each other again. She thought he was a bartender. A finance guy. A pretty face with a sharp jaw and nothing behind the eyes. She had no idea he was him. The name on every screen. The jersey hanging in every bar. And now he's in her orbit again, asking questions with his eyes, tugging at threads she's spent years trying to stitch shut. She carries her past like a diagnosis, incurable. And Quinn sees her. He wants her in a way that has nothing to do with love. This is concussion-level craving. A full-body, penalty-box, scream-into-the-wall obsession. She's the one thing that makes him forget the rules. But the closer he gets, the more the past starts bleeding into the present. She's not just a girl he can't forget. She's the trigger to everything he's spent years burying. "You don't even remember me." "Bullshit. You ruined me."

Charlotte Evans came to Vancouver for a fresh start - a new city, new career, and a chance to outrun the shadows of the past that nearly broke her. Her only rule? No hockey players. Not after the accident that took her ex's life, shattered her reputation, and made her the girl her hometown loves to blame. But she unknownlingly moved in across the hall from Quinn Hughes - captain of the Canucks and Canada's most beloved hockey prodigy - her carefully built walls begin to crack. Focused, soft-spoken, and maddeningly kind, Quinn is everything she swore she'd avoid... and everything her heart starts to want. He's at the peak of his career, with no time for distractions. She's spent years building armor she swore no man would ever get through. But as sparks fly, tempers clash, and a magnetic tension simmers just beneath the surface, niether can deny the pull between them. When unspoken attraction turns into something deeper, and a painful secret threatens to resurface, Charlotte and Quinn will have to decide whether some lines are meant to be crossed - or if the past will always be one game they can't win.

these are all from my Tumblr page, this book is about Jack Hughes being a single dad to daughter Y/n

Arin and Jack have been best friends since childhood-tethered by years of memories, shared laughter, and quiet, unspoken love. Arin, a whimsical and vibrant soul trying to reclaim the childhood she never fully had, spends her days coloring outside the lines and checking off her old bucket list. Jack, a rising NHL star, never let fame or distance sever the thread between them. But after one unforgettable summer filled with camping trips, pancakes for dinner, and stolen moments under the stars, Jack suddenly disappears from Arin's life-leaving only a note on her bucket list and a kiss that still lingers. Five months later, fate brings them back together in the most unexpected place: Seattle. With hearts still bruised and words left unsaid, Arin and Jack must face the truth they've avoided for years. This is a story of growing up, growing apart, and finding your way back-to the person who always felt like home. A tender tale about love found in childhood and rediscovered in adulthood, where falling in love... literally, was always written in the stars.

Quinn Hughes Imagines and Smuts from the depths of my brain

Luke Hughes Imagines and Smuts

Ella Fantilli has two rules: never date her brothers' teammates, and never let a hockey boy get under her skin. Luke Hughes does both. As a star soccer player and athletic trainer-in-training at the University of Michigan, Ella has her hands full balancing her sport, her studies, and the chaos of being surrounded by hockey players-including her brothers and their endlessly dramatic teammates. But everything gets more complicated when she meets Luke, cocky, infuriating, and wearing the same number as her: 43. Their rivalry starts on day one-with chirps, glares, and competitive tension that's impossible to ignore. He's her professional nemesis. They're supposed to hate each other. But when fate throws them back together years later in New Jersey-both working for the Devils-the rivalry burns hotter than ever. And this time, there's no one around to stop them. Enemies to teammates. Teammates to something more. They were always destined to crash.

Our families had always been very close, literally we grew up next door neighbors. Quinn and jack had always treated me like the younger sister the never had, Luke was different though. Luke and I were the closest in age and also the youngest. So, While Quinn, Jack, and my older brother Chase were trying to find new tactics to terrorize us, Luke and I would be hiding away somewhere playing house hoping they wouldn't find us. Eventually, as they got older Luke was accepted into their clan of evil. Since I was the younger sister of course I was the one getting terrorized and there was no stopping that. But, as time went on we became adults. Quinn and jack were off the the NHL, Chase left for the military, and Luke and I heard off to University of Michigan. There, Luke followed in the footsteps of Quinn and played for their hockey team and I was on the gymnastics team for UMich. Little did Luke and I know going to the same college would bring us closer than we'd ever been before, until draft day......

Margo Johnson is the savvy, quick-witted social media manager for the New Jersey Devils. Luke Hughes is the team's quiet, underrated defenseman-and her longtime college friend. They've shared years of inside jokes, late-night phone calls, and off-the-record interviews. But when a candid photo of them laughing goes viral, fans start shipping them hard. To feed the hype (and protect a few team headlines), they agree to fake date. But pretending is harder than they expected-especially when old feelings resurface and lines blur between curated moments and the real ones. From bus rides and hotel rooms to late-night talks and a snow-covered Diag in Michigan, Margo and Luke must navigate growing attention, genuine emotions, and what it means to fall in love under the spotlight... but off the record. A soft, slow-burn romance about missed chances, second glances, and loving someone when the cameras are both on and off.
