I knock on the door; I'm greeted by Lando, who goes from a grin to sheer shock in half a second. His eyes are fixed on the Dutchman at my side. His brain is working so fast to process the unspoken information; his mouth is still open from the hello that died as he tried to speak it. "Lando!" Max isn't even fazed. He takes it all in stride, hugging the very confused Lando Norris whilst I slip past, into the house, seeing James looking at me with a can of coke in one hand and his other pointing at me as he grins maniacally.

Her life has always had one path, but what happens when it gets derailed? April is a champion figure skater with big ambitions and even bigger prospects. At the rink, she's a winner. Beneath the surface, the pressure is slowly killing her. When a devastating accident leaves her with career-stalling injuries, she's sent to a mindfulness retreat with none other than the boy who caused the accident. She now has to deal with her infuriating enemy, Caden, who also happens to be the star hockey captain. When April begins to realise that there's more to Caden than meets the eye, their relationship begins to change. He challenges her in ways she's never been challenged, and she craves the warmth that she sees in his eyes. But April has sacrificed so much for her career, and now she has no direction. She doesn't know if she can forgive Caden, but if she doesn't, her anger might consume her.

Eva Graham is a guarded, no-nonsense social science major who studies human behavior to understand why people leave-and how to make sure she never lets the wrong ones in. She keeps to herself, avoids drama, and especially avoids campus athletes, whom she considers walking red flags. Cole Grayson is a third-year psychology major, a cocky ice hockey star with a grin that disarms and a fanbase full of puck bunnies. While everyone sees him coasting, Cole's under constant pressure-trying to go pro, balancing school, and keeping up a charming front to hide just how much he's cracking underneath. When Cole starts slipping in class, he's assigned a tutor: Eva. Neither is thrilled. She thinks he's a loud, lazy distraction. He calls her "Teach" just to get under her skin-she responds by calling him "Skates," with just the right amount of disdain. What begins as bickering soon turns into banter... then something softer. The nicknames stick, becoming a quiet thread that ties them together as friends-and maybe more. Cole falls first. Hard. Eva, scared of being hurt and shaped by people who've left before, fights it. Still, she agrees to go to one of his games-just once. But seeing him on the ice, in his world, adored yet somehow still alone, shifts everything. Then the bet surfaces. A stupid, careless thing made before he really knew her-and it threatens to destroy everything they've built. Surrounded by puck bunnies stirring drama, teammates with their own loyalties, and a past Eva isn't ready to share, the fragile trust between them begins to crack. Between jealousy, late-night confessions, and moments where one look says everything, Eva and Cole must decide: is love worth risking it all-even if it started with a bet, a nickname, and everything going wrong?

❗❗ I personaggi sono maggiorenni ❗❗ Noah ha sempre avuto tutto. Una villa da sogno, un cognome importante e l'avvocato più influente del paese come padre. Ma dietro i sorrisi perfetti e le apparenze impeccabili si nasconde una ragazza che ha imparato una sola regola: non mostrare mai le proprie debolezze. Mai piangere, mai crollare, mai lasciare che qualcuno veda ciò che si porta dentro. Theo non ha mai avuto niente. Ha passato l'infanzia a raccogliere i pezzi di una famiglia distrutta: un padre violento che li ha abbandonati e una madre che presto cederà alla dipendenza. Mentre il mondo gli ha sempre voltato le spalle, lui ha fatto l'unica cosa che poteva fare: proteggere suo fratello minore, anche a costo di sacrificare sé stesso e i suoi sogni. Lei è luce agli occhi di tutti, ma nasconde il buio. Lui nel buio ci vive da sempre, ma dentro ha più luce di chiunque altro. Due mondi opposti che non avrebbero mai dovuto sfiorarsi. Due destini così distanti da sembrare inconciliabili. Eppure, quando si incontrano, qualcosa cambia. Ma quando l'amore nasce da una collisione del genere può davvero resistere al peso dei segreti? 🌸🌺🌷
