Everyone knows the number one rule in the locker room: Don't even look at the coach's daughter. But Maddie Blake has never been great at following rules. After years of living in her dad's shadow, legendary head coach of the NHL's top team, she's finally back in town, older, bolder, and completely over hockey... or so she tells herself. Then she meets Levi Hunter. Captain of the team. League MVP. NHL's golden boy. And the one guy her dad has literally warned every player about. He's cocky, charming, and stupidly gorgeous. And for some reason, he won't stay out of her way, or her thoughts. What starts as innocent flirting turns into stolen glances at practice, late night texts, and a spark that threatens to become something deeper. In a world where the game comes first, falling for him might just be the riskiest play Maddie's ever made. And in hockey, one wrong move can cost you everything. *closed door romance*

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would." _____________________________________ ~Maya Castillo~ Escaping her traumatic past, Maya and her brother, Santiago, run to New York.

(𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑶𝒇 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒆 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔) . ∴⁂∴⁂ ꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀ At 22, Natalie's biggest worries should be passing finals and figuring out her future-not falling for a mysterious, older man who turns her world upside down. When she meets Liam, everything about him is electric-his confidence, his charm, the way he sees straight through her. He's 35, dangerously magnetic, and nothing like the boys she's used to. Against her better judgment, she lets herself get pulled into his orbit. But Liam has secrets. Big ones. What starts as a slow, intoxicating romance quickly turns into something far more complicated. Liam is protective, possessive, and always one step ahead-but Natalie doesn't realize she's falling for a man who lives in shadows. A man whose world is built on power, blood, and silence. She thinks he's just guarded. She doesn't know he's a king in a criminal empire. By the time the truth comes to light, it's already too late. Because Natalie isn't just in love-she's in danger. Natalie is a slow-burn, age-gap romance where love and lies collide, and the cost of trusting the wrong man might be more than just a broken heart. ꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀ 𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚: ∙𝟭𝟴+
