paige bedard learned early that loving something meant sacrificing for it. the early mornings, missed birthdays, and the quiet pressure of carrying a last name hockey already knew. but, there was always one place she didn't have to be paige bedard: connor bedard's little sister, captain of the wisconsin badgers, alternate captain for Team Canada, and star forward of the vancouver goldeneyes. it was the place she could just be paige and that place was wherever macklin celebrini was. they met at thirteen, two north vancouver kids with dreams too big for their bodies. he stayed on the ice after everyone left. she stayed with him. driveways became rinks, summer nights became promises, and somewhere between shared playlists, lake days, and silent understanding, paige fell in love with him. she just never told him. he was macklin, her best friend. her almost. because almost was safer than losing him completely. then, came the leaving- he went to Boston to chase the NHL. she went to wisconsin, where she became captain and one of the most dominant players in college hockey before returning home as the face of the Goldeneyes. phone calls became texts and texts became nothing. years passed, but feelings didn't. now, at nineteen, paige stands at center ice in milan with a silver medal around her neck and an "A" over her heart. a loss she can't escape. hockey, for the first time, doesn't feel like enough. until she sees him- across a city thousands of miles from where they began, macklin stands there and suddenly she's thirteen again. macklin was never just her first love, he was her unfinished one and some people, no matter how far you skate or how much time passes... you always find your way back to them.

Rowan Miller and Jack Hughes have been best friends since they were 8 years old. She's practically part of the family by the time they're 17. They share a birthday and act like it, Rowan being at the Hughes' house more often than her own. Quinn and Luke get close to her as well, how could they not? She's basically glued to Jack's side any time they go anywhere. But when Quinn gets drafted by the Vancouver Canucks, something shifts between them. He tells her to keep in touch, and they do. Rowan goes from being a background character in Quinn's life to someone he tells everything to and texts anytime he has a break. No lines are crossed, nothing is named, but they grow closer. Quinn made a promise to Jack when they were younger, thinking it a joke at the time, that Rowan was off-limits. Can Quinn keep that promise, or will his newfound foundation crumble beneath him? • • • "God. The way she looks at me sometimes... like I'm something worth wanting." • • • rankings #1 montreal #1 nhl #1 quinn

Quinn Hughes has the world watching him and no one actually seeing him. New captain of the Vancouver Canucks. Golden boy on the surface. But behind the press conferences and perfectly tailored suits is a man unraveling slowly, quietly. The kind of man who smiles like it hurts and doesn't let anyone close enough to see. Until her. She barely remember the night. But he's spent every night since remembering only her. Michigan. A country festival. She walked wearing denim shorts and a don't-fuck-with-me smile, smelling spicy. She didn't give him her name. She barely gave him a second look. But Quinn? He's been building fantasies around her ever since. All-consuming ones. Elizabeth Woods. Pediatric intern. Raised in the shadows of a mother who loved like a loaded gun. She's gentle in a way that feels dangerous, like she's trying to undo years of damage with one soft look and steady hands. She's the kind of woman who tucks blankets around strangers but doesn't flinch when someone screams. She's standing across from him, stunned, breathless, just as fucking shocked. Because this city's too big. Too full. And still, somehow they found each other again. She thought he was a bartender. A finance guy. A pretty face with a sharp jaw and nothing behind the eyes. She had no idea he was him. The name on every screen. The jersey hanging in every bar. And now he's in her orbit again, asking questions with his eyes, tugging at threads she's spent years trying to stitch shut. She carries her past like a diagnosis, incurable. And Quinn sees her. He wants her in a way that has nothing to do with love. This is concussion-level craving. A full-body, penalty-box, scream-into-the-wall obsession. She's the one thing that makes him forget the rules. But the closer he gets, the more the past starts bleeding into the present. She's not just a girl he can't forget. She's the trigger to everything he's spent years burying. "You don't even remember me." "Bullshit. You ruined me."

"Too soon to tell you I love you. You're the risk, I'm gonna take it." ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Liv Evans moved to New Jersey to chase her photography dreams, not to fall for the mysterious guy across the hall. But then she gets hired as the Devils' new media photographer, and suddenly Jack Hughes is everywhere - at practice, at games, in her head when she's trying to sleep. And keeping things professional turns out to be a lot harder than it sounds. A story about taking risks, figuring your shit out, and realizing that sometimes the scariest thing is just letting someone in.
