Was it ever me... or just him?

Luken Hunt is a virgin. A 23 year-old, NHL-playing, star-forward virgin. He's spent years dodging the post-game parties, the groupies, the endless opportunities that come with being a pro athlete. He's too focused on hockey, too awkward, too... completely out of his depth when it comes to women. Then Brooklyn Launder walks into his life. Sharp, stunning, and absolutely off-limits, she's the sports reporter who's seen it all-cocky athletes, bad pickup lines, and men who think they can charm their way into her life. But Luken? He's different. And when a flustered interview of his goes viral, turning the league's most unapproachable player into everyone's favorite bashful hockey heartthrob, Brooklyn finds herself just as intrigued as the rest of the internet. So when he confesses he's never even been kissed properly, Brooklyn makes a proposition-a few lessons. Just to help him out. A kiss here, a little guidance there. Nothing serious. Until the first lesson turns into two. Then three. And suddenly, Luken is learning fast-not just how to kiss, but how to touch, tease, and drive Brooklyn absolutely insane. But with the media watching, a locker room full of relentless teammates, and a career that demands all of him, Luken has to decide if he's ready to risk it all-for the one thing he's never had. A slow-burn, forbidden, scorching-hot hockey romance where the shy, virgin hockey star gets the ultimate education-and the woman he never saw coming. 𓅷 [SMUT Warning] [18+ Mature Audiences] Don't copy my work I will find you 🔪 4/14/25 1 in #sports 1 in friendswithbenefits 1 in hockey 1 in badgirlgoodboy 1 in nhlhockey 1 in nhlfanficton

Everett Langford knows how to smile for cameras. As the President's son, he's been trained to shake hands, deliver soundbites, and charm a room without breaking a sweat. In public, he is polished. Controlled. Unshakeable. In private, he's something else entirely. Late nights. Too many girls. Too many photographs taken at the wrong angle. Not scandalous enough to destroy him - just reckless enough to worry the administration. Elaina Ashborne does not make mistakes. She was raised to be composed and controlled- the daughter of a dynasty that built its fortune in silence. At a boarding school filled with heirs and future leaders, she is respected for one reason: she never breaks rank. They were never meant to cross paths. Except they do. Everett's father relocates him after having enough of his scandals to an elite boarding school in London. Close supervision. Fewer distractions. A reminder of what it means to carry a name that matters. Everett performs for the world and slips behind closed doors. Elaina performs everywhere - flawlessly. What happens when the President's son who can't quite hold his composure meets the girl who never loses hers?

After years of silence and separation, the echoes of old enemies resurface, threatening everything Eloise has fought to build. As loyalties are tested and hidden truths unravel, Eloise must navigate a delicate dance of reconciliation with her brothers, embrace a powerful legacy she barely understands, and face a love as fierce and unyielding as her own.

Aria Evans has a plan-and it doesn't include distractions. As a sophomore in college, Aria keeps her world small and focused. Between long shifts at a Manhattan café, late nights perfecting her fashion designs, and chasing the dream she's had since she was a little girl-to build a business just like her late mother-there's no time for parties, chaos... or love. At least, that's what she tells herself. Enter Trey Adams. Junior. Hockey captain. Campus favorite. And everything Aria has spent her life avoiding. When Trey and his friends unexpectedly collide with Aria and her tight-knit circle, her carefully structured world starts to blur at the edges. He's persistent, charming, and far too good at breaking down the walls she's spent years building. And no matter how hard she tries to ignore it, the connection between them is impossible to deny. Trey is used to going after what he wants. And this time... it's her. With her friends urging her to take a chance and her heart pulling her in a direction she never planned, Aria is forced to face a question she's never allowed herself to ask- What if she doesn't have to choose between love and her dreams? In a world of ambition, late nights, and unexpected feelings, Aria might just learn that the biggest risk... is not taking one at all. - Book 1 of the Empire State Love Series
