"Being an influencer is the easiest thing Tatum Wilder has ever done. Being a Wilder? That's the hard part." Tatum never expected to be a headline for what she wasn't doing. In a family where every love story begins at nineteen - from her legendary NHL father and Gilmore Girls star mother to her great-grandparents to her own sister - Tatum is the anomaly. With her nineteenth birthday having just passed and a romantic track record that consists mostly of guys ending up bruised and her storming off, she's ready to let the legacy die. Until her father drags her to a team Canada hockey orientation, and she meets Macklin Celebrini. He's the boy with the green eyes, the heavy jersey, and a name that carries just as much weight as her own. For the first time, the"nineteen superstition doesn't feel like a curse-it feels like a countdown. But in a world where every move is captured in 4k, can they find something real before the clock runs out and Tatum breaks the legacy?

In Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, Briar Chatham is about to begin her freshman year-a whirlwind of excitement, anxiety, and the unknown. Between settling into college life and preparing for her first year as a Boston College architect major, Briar has enough on her plate. But everything shifts the night she meets Will Smith-a laid-back, charming guy who seems to get her in a way no one else does. Will isn't just another college student; he's a campus legend. The fourth overall pick in the NHL draft, he's a hockey god with a reputation as big as his talent. Their first meeting is lighthearted, filled with teasing and unexpected common ground. One impulsive kiss at a party catches them both off guard-sweet, exciting, and something neither of them expects to mean anything but will that change over time?

Crawlin back to you - Arctic Monkeys "Macklin Celebrini was everything Tessa hated he's arrogant, reckless, and way too used to getting what he wanted. And she made it very clear... she would never be one of those things. Yet she's standing outside his apartment at 2 a.m. Again."

❝ as a woman on my own i got it going on and i'm liking what i'm seeing and i don't wanna be alone ❞ Delaney and Macklin grew incredibly close after she was finally accepted onto the University of Boston's men's team. She was exceptionally talented and brilliant-skilled enough to be the only girl on the team, and the youngest one too. Over time, Delaney and Macklin became more than just teammates; they became genuine friends. He was a year older than her and, this year, eligible for the 2024 draft in Los Angeles, Nevada-a chance that could change his entire future. When he had to move to San Jose while Delaney was still stuck at university, they thought they'd never see each other again, each continuing their own career paths. Until the day everything changes.

Will thought his world would change when he was drafted into the NHL. The reality? It changed when Imogen left him, not only him, but she fled the country entirely. Only to return engaged to a man she'd barely just met. She's preparing to fly back to Australia, and everything between them feels like it's slipping out of reach. But before she leaves, they meet again. He apologises. She listens. And in the space between old history and new promises, he confesses he's still in love with her. The problem is, she loves him too, but she is engaged to Sam. The Australian Footballer. Will tells her she's rushing, that something about Sam doesn't sit right, but she leaves anyway, asking him to let her go. Unable to accept it, Will interferes unbeknownst to Imogen. The engagement collapses, she is humiliated and heartbroken, and instead of returning to Will, she shuts down emotionally and swears off relationships entirely. Now it's time for Will to Win her back.

Chelsea Bangkok and Will Smith have always been "just us"-best friends before anything else, before the fame, before the pressure, before everything changed. Then Macklin Celebrini walks in. And suddenly, nothing feels simple anymore. What starts as friendship turns into something louder-something messier-something neither of them knows how to handle. The internet calls them a trio. The world calls it entertaining. But Chelsea just calls it her life falling into something she didn't plan for. And Macklin? He should know better than to get close. Because Chelsea only has one warning for him- "Tread lightly, hockey boy."
