At Frostwood University, the ice is cold, the hockey is brutal, and falling for your best friend's little sister is strictly off-limits. Nolan James Remington is a 6'5" shutdown defenseman with a reputation for being untouchable-on and off the ice. Brooding, fiercely loyal, and carrying ghosts no one else can see, he's perfected the art of keeping everyone at arm's length. Especially Ruby Kensington. Ruby Hope Kensington is all sunshine and chaos. With her honey-blonde waves, dimpled smile, and a heart that's been through more than most people twice her age, she's the warm spark in Frostwood's frozen world. She's also Kenny's little sister-the one girl Nolan is forbidden to want. When a series of morning runs, late-night pancakes, and undeniable chemistry crack the walls Nolan has spent years building, the line between loyalty and desire begins to blur. What starts as stolen glances and secret touches quickly becomes something deeper, something that could destroy the only real family Nolan has ever known. Because some rules are meant to be broken... and some hearts aren't built to survive the fallout.

Sugar's addicting. So is she. Graham Davis has two addictions: Hockey-and Gracie Daniels. (Not that he knows it yet.) At St. Brown University, Gracie Daniels is the golden girl. Blonde ponytail, perfect smile, always saying yes. So when she's asked to manage PR for the hockey team, she agrees-hoping to help thaw their notoriously icy captain. But Graham Davis doesn't melt. He's distant, guarded, and doesn't need help from a pink-sweater-wearing perfectionist... until he starts noticing things he shouldn't. Skipped meals. Covered bruises. Flinches too small to be accidental. Gracie is sweet, bright, and hiding more than anyone knows. And Graham can't stop looking.

This is my first story. Very excited very nervous:) ********************** My doll deserves to be in a fucking dollhouse, so a dollhouse she gets. I clear my throat, trying to shake off the daze she's put me in."You know," I start, leaning forward with a smirk, "it's almost unfair how you make everything else in here look dull in comparison." She arches a perfectly shaped brow, amusement flickering in her eyes. "Flattery will get you nowhere." "Won't it?" I challenge, resting my chin on my hand. "Because if I keep going, I bet I can at least get you to blush." She scoffs, but the faintest hint of pink creeps up her cheeks. "You're ridiculous." "And you're stunning," I counter effortlessly. "So I guess we're even." ---------------------------- Iliana Lopez is a ball of sunshine wrapped in designer heels and razor-sharp wit.

A sunshine girl. A serious man. Multiple chanced meetings that changed everything. Aurora Blaire wasn't looking for anything serious-especially not while on a girls' holiday. But fate had other plans, for both her and Lucian Thorne: a brutally composed CEO who didn't do random, had never been in a relationship, and was too focused on his businesses to find love. What started as chance run-ins turned into something they couldn't ignore. But how does a man built on control survive the kind of girl who blooms in chaos? ------------------------------------------------------------------ ""Her tipsy boldness kicked in hard, and walked for the armrest near him-planning to sit there casually.

"Careful, princess." he said, his voice low and smooth, just enough to make her blush harder. "Oops," she giggled, cheeks flaming. "I cant believe it's you Mr. Serious." "Still drunk, I see." And with that, Aurora's mind took off in full chatter mode."" ------------------------------------------------------------------ #1 TEENFICTION #1 SWEET #1 GRUMPY #1 CUTE #1 FUNNY #1 GRUMPYXSUNSHINE #1 RICHGUY

Sophia Honey never expected college to mean sharing an apartment with her childhood nemesis. ~~~ Freshman Sophia Honey never imagined her brother would stick her with Theo Gray-his best friend and her childhood nemesis-as her roommate. But things get complicated fast. Theo, with his shirtless mornings, flirty remarks, and those intense stares, pushes all of her buttons. Just when Sophia thinks she can handle their awkward living arrangement, she discovers he's not just popular-he's one of the hottest seniors on campus. And as the star of the hockey team, his status skyrockets, forcing her to tread carefully around him to avoid drama. But drama comes knocking When Sophia lands a side gig with the seniors in her photography department to make some extra cash, she doesn't expect her first assignment to be Theo Gray shirtless in front of her camera. She definitely doesn't expect him to say yes with that smug grin-and one condition. What he wants in return? Not money. Something else. Something dangerous. As the photo sessions begin, so does the unraveling. Their banter becomes charged. His touches linger a little too long. Her defenses are violently slipping. ​Then comes the night the mask shatters. When Theo stumbles home drunk, his eyes glassy and his defenses down, he confesses a truth that breaks every version of him Sophia thought she knew. ​Gone is the boy who teased her growing up. This Theo is raw, complex, and beautifully broken in places she never noticed before. ​Suddenly, Sophia wants things she never dared to dream of. His kisses. His hands on her skin. His body-yes-but also his secrets, his pain... him. What started as a paycheck has become a dangerous line they can't stop crossing, forcing her to realize the most terrifying truth of all: ​What if falling for Theo Gray was the real assignment all along?

The plan has always been simple. Finish college and open my own bakery while supporting my best friend in his journey to the NHL. After a not-so-good experience last year, I've been avoiding most of the hockey team. That is until I finally met their newest teammate whose green eyes have been stuck in my brain ever since. Did I mention he's also my best friend's roommate?

A professional hockey player nearing retirement falls hard for his best friend's much younger and seemingly uninterested sister, but things change when she needs a place to stay and he offers up his home and his bed. *** After one too many drinks and a little too much chemistry, Bryce Roehm wakes up next to Maria Evans-and nothing has ever felt more wrong... or more right. Bryce, a seasoned defenseman for the New York Empires, is in his final season before retirement. Known for his bad-boy reputation and commitment to bachelorhood, he's the last person who should be hooking up with his best friend's little sister. Especially when Maria is eight years younger, working hard to finish college, and nannying for one of his teammates. They agree to keep their one-night stand a secret. No harm, no foul. But secrets never stay buried for long. Maria's finally building a life she's proud of-free from her controlling father and determined to stand on her own two feet. She's not looking for complications. And Bryce? He's as complicated as they come. So when circumstances force them to live under the same roof, one thing becomes clear: How are they supposed to keep their hands-and hearts-to themselves?

She ran away from home with nothing but a broken heart and a car that barely made it. One fight, one night, one decision...and everything changed. Desperate for somewhere to stay, Avery answered an ad for a room and ended up moving in with Rhett...a tattooed, cold, pro hockey captain who thrives on control, discipline, and dominance both on and off the ice. Commitment isn't in his vocabulary. Neither are second chances. He's chaos in skates and trouble in leather jackets, sharp edges wrapped in muscle and attitude, and he makes it painfully clear that he doesn't want her in his space, in his routine, in his carefully controlled world. They clash from the start. Power against defiance. Fire against gasoline. Too similar. Too stubborn. Too damaged in different ways. She's soft, but not weak. A good girl who knows how to party, dance, and forget the world when the music gets loud enough. He's adrenaline and aggression, fueled by late-night games, bruised knuckles, and a hunger for control that doesn't turn off when the crowd goes home. Closed off. Possessive. Allergic to feelings. Living together becomes a dangerous game of boundaries, tension, and lingering looks that last a second too long. Every shared space feels like a challenge. Every accidental touch feels like a dare. Neither of them are willing to admit that the pull between them burns hotter than any fight on the ice...or that surrendering might be the one thing Rhett fears more than losing. But the past doesn't stay buried forever. Her mother returns to haunt her, reopening old wounds. And just when Avery starts to feel safe...just when it starts to feel real...Rhett does what he does best. He runs. Because falling is easy...but staying is the dangerous part.
