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.

After a one-night stand flips a grumpy hockey goalie's bad luck, he pursues his team's new dental assistant to rebound his abysmal season. One night, fake names, and no strings. Just a reckless escape from the numbers that dictate my life. Now, he thinks I'm his lucky charm. Transplanted to San Francisco, I'm free to steer my life's ship. But with Type 1 Diabetes, every day is a new challenge for normalcy, and a year of sleeping on my sister's boyfriend's couch, cleaning kids' teeth, is not living. One last bite tips me over the edge. I don't want a plan. I want a distraction. Enter the broody, stranger at a hotel fundraiser-the perfect one-night release until morning comes, and I flee in panic. Forgetting him is challenging, but my luck turns when I land a specialist dentist's assistant job. It's for the San Francisco Bears, a pro hockey team, where, unfortunately, my steamy one-night stand is the team's notoriously grumpy goalie.

Connor needs me to win. He's convinced that our night broke his losing streak. Now, he's haunting my dental chair, insisting I'm some key to turn his season around. He's stubborn, obsessive, and looks way too good in a jersey. But the Coach and GM are watching. If our secret gets out, my new life will be the next thing to crash and burn. I have to prove that luck has nothing to do with it... before I lose my job, my health, and the one man I was never supposed to see again. 18 + for explicit sexual content #1 sports, #1 spicy Story is complete.

Soleil Dubois was the sweetest person you could ever meet. Her name meant 'sun' in French and that was exactly what she was. Sunshine. But don't let that sweet personality fool you because she was sarcastic and had the mouth of a sailor. Cursed like one too. She was still grieving from the loss of her mother, along with her older brother, Lucas who wasn't doing too well either, but they had decided that some things were meant to let go of, and their mother's death was one of those things. And in order for that to happen, they decided to sign up for an exchange program that would be happening in their rival school; NorthFields Academy. The school that most of their competitions were held against, but the biggest one was Football. Every semester, NorthFields Academy and SouthFields Academy played against eachother, and the one who got the most goals by the end of the year would win trophies, more fame and money. That's when Elias Morano came in. He was the captain of the football team of NorthFields Academy and despised Lucas with all his heart. Their feelings were mutual for eachother, but for some reason, his eyes were always on Soleil, the one girl that hated him as well. The one girl he couldn't have. Why her out of everyone? And feelings build up when Soleil goes to NorthFields Academy for a month and a half to complete the exchange program. What's worse is that those football games would be more often and both schools would be playing against eachother. The worst thing is that Elias and Soleil are assigned together for the program, meaning they have to spend more time together. Soleil soon realises that what she feels for Elias isn't hate, its something more than that. But she can't do anything, can she? He is her brother's rival after all.

♡I was shocked to see whose still bewitching eyes had just accidentally met with mine. Giovanni! A boy, a crush, and one fantastic kiss. I thought I'd never see him again. ♡Dual POV ♡ It's the mid-90s on the West Coast: grunge music, mix tapes, pagers, skateboarding and baggy clothes. Lauren, an ordinarily shy 8th-grade girl, risks the first move to approach her long-time elusive crush, Gio, a gorgeous and mysterious outsider who has a secret crush of his own. The night of the school dance, they get exactly what they dreamed of: a first dance, a first kiss...but the timing isn't on their side, and the budding relationship slips through their fingers. Fast-forward to her junior year-the worst year of her life so far-and Lauren feels anything but confident. Gio reemerges at school after a three-year absence, and the unexpected encounter sends tremors through both of their lives. But their attraction to each other is as intense as ever, and interactions between them heat up quickly. However, Gio's school life is a disaster, and he harbors a secret he won't share, but it's the truth that Lauren keeps from him that really threatens to tear their young romance apart. "This is a great teen romance with angst, humor, and two incredible main characters. Ren is the friend I would have loved to have growing up, and Gio . . . well, he is just teen crush perfection! Also, it's set in the late nineteen nineties, which was my own teenage era, so I love revisiting the nostalgia of that time! " -Polly Ford. "This is a heartwarming and nostalgic read that will take you back to the late nineties, where we follow Ren, who is so relatable, as she comes of age on her journey with the swoon-worthy Giovanni, who will make your heart melt several times! Their journey is emotional, passionate, and both heart-wrenching and heart-warming-such a beautiful book! " - Heidi Carroll.

🥇 Wattpad Amby Award Winner - 2023 Top Pick in Romance.🥇 Lauren Baker thought she'd moved on. Big city, career, husband--all checked off and on display in perfectly curated photos online--but then it all fell apart. Now she's scrubbing off every box she ever ticked, back in her hometown, waiting for a divorce, sleeping in her teenage bedroom, and face-to-face with the one man she never got over. Gio Regali likes to keep himself controlled--flashy car, private offline life, measured emotions. Love? That's off-limits. Especially now, with a mental health diagnosis that makes getting close far too risky. But seeing Ren again throws his carefully balanced world into unexpected chaos. Their attraction is immediate and impossible to ignore--just like it was all those years ago--but Gio's convinced he's too damaged to be loved. And though Ren carries the quiet grief of infertility, she's impulsive and optimistically determined to tear down Gio's stubborn walls for a second chance at what they once had. To find their way back to each other (and maybe even themselves), they have to expose old wounds, new vulnerabilities, and desires neither anticipated, learning that some second chances don't just heal two hearts--they build the family you never thought you could have.

Hailey Baker doesn't do weddings. She doesn't do small talk, dancing in public, or flying--ever. She prefers her feet on the ground, her heart locked up, and her sarcasm sharp enough to keep everyone at arm's length. Enter Charlie Wilder. Air Force pilot. Best man with a questionable mustache. As a certified golden retriever, he barrels through life with laughter, charm, and zero chill. He's the exact type Hailey swore off--persistent, ridiculous, too handsome for his own good... and annoyingly hard to ignore. After one unforgettable kiss cut short, fate throws them back together. Charlie is determined to prove he's more than a reckless playboy, and his relentless pursuit is equal parts infuriating and irresistible. But behind his sunshine smile is a man with secrets of his own. She doesn't do love. He doesn't do serious. But the chemistry between them? That might just take off-whether Hailey's ready to fly or not.
