When photography student, Willow Kennedy, gets offered an internship with her college's renowned ice hockey team, The Michigan Wolverines, she anticipates three things: 1) Her twin brother being an unbearable and over-protective nightmare. 2) Her photographs not making any real impact whatsoever. 3) The team completely shutting out the curly-haired girl pointing a camera in their faces. What Willow didn't take into account, however, was the Wolverine's team captain. Rumoured NHL first draft pick, dreamboat and total game changer- Tate Wilder. With his infectious dimpled smile, sparkling green eyes and addictive personality, Tate quickly turns Willow's internship into a life-changing and eye-opening experience- one filled with love, friendship and opportunities. Willow didn't meet the Michigan Wolverines looking for love, and funnily enough neither did Tate, but love soon found them. ********* "Pretty please?" Her lip juts out in an irresistible pout and you'd almost think she was a sweet innocent flower judging by the puppy dog eyes she's flashing me. But that image is little tarnished by the hand she has dipped into my boxers. I can feel my Adams apple bob as I reply. "O-okay. Fine, you win this time." The smile I get in response is absolutely blinding. A full, mega-watt grin with teeth, crinkled eyes and blush on the apples of her cheek. I'll let her win everything if I get that fucking smile in return.

Some flames don't burn-they blister quietly, leaving scars where no one can see. Tulip had always believed love was soft. A gentle breeze. A quiet blooming. Something that would one day arrive with kind eyes and warm hands. But when love came for her, it didn't whisper sweet promises. It came like a storm disguised as hope, wearing the face of someone she once trusted more than her own heartbeat. This is the story of how her innocence burned. ------ © 2025 TheGirlwithRedCloak.

She was supposed to disappear. He was supposed to let her go. Vivian Chen fled her family's empire the night before her arranged marriage-taking nothing but a stolen flash drive and a secret that could destroy three dynasties. For five years, she built a new life in a small coastal town, raising her daughter alone, pretending the past couldn't find her. Then he walked into her bookshop. Gideon Ashford. The man her family sold her to. The cold-blooded heir who was supposed to be her husband-until she vanished and humiliated him in front of the entire financial world. He says he's here for the flash drive. She knows he's lying. Because Gideon doesn't just want the evidence she stole. He wants answers. He wants revenge. And when he discovers the four-year-old girl with his mother's eyes, he wants something far more dangerous. Her. But Vivian isn't the frightened heiress who ran five years ago. She's a mother now. A survivor. And she'll burn his empire to the ground before she lets him take her daughter. The only problem? The man hunting her might be the only one who can save them both.

Alessia had rules. She didn't do drama, didn't take nonsense from any man. Until him. For Cassian, she broke every one. A cliché, impossible mother in law? She handled it. Missed dinners because of work? She served herself double and waited anyway. Too tired to spend time together? She embraced the quiet hours alone. She forgot her limits, abandoned her rules. All for him. Until her. The one rule she couldn't break, the limit she couldn't cross. She saw him with her. Broken, she left and whispered a wish she never thought would come true: that she had never met him. The wish was granted. Alessia woke up and didn't remember him. But now Cassian is the one waiting. Running against time to be near her. Chasing every moment, following every rule, just so she might remember him again. And if she can't... Can he remember it all for both of them? © IcecreamSundae5.
