A one-night stand turns into a high-stakes game of survival when a dental hygienist becomes the secret lucky charm of a grumpy goalie. -------------------- One night, fake names, and no strings was supposed to be my escape. Now, I'm the last hope for a pro hockey goalie who thinks I'm some lucky charm capable of flipping his abysmal season. As a Type 1 Diabetic, numbers govern my life: glucose levels, carb counts, and the low balance of my bank account. I moved to San Francisco for a fresh start, not to become the "lucky charm" of a professionally notorious grump. After our steamy, anonymous night, I did the sensible thing: I ran. But the universe flexes a cruel sense of humor. My new job as dental assistant for the San Francisco Bears' pro-hockey team puts me face-to-face-and finger-to-mouth-with the man I can't forget. Connor Schmidt's convinced I'm the cure to his career-worst slump. He's closed-off, stubborn, and way too hot for my professional safety. I need this job to survive. Literally. But with the coach hunting for "distractions" to fire, and Connor refusing to let me go, I'm stuck in a game I can't afford to lose. He's playing for redemption. I'm playing for my life. And the more we lose ourselves in his "luck-with-benefits agreement," the more falling for him is the most reckless thing I've ever done. 18 + for explicit sexual content #1 sports, #1 spicy, #1 sweet, #1 chicklit, #1 contemporaryromance #1 hockeyplayer, #1 maturethemes #36 romance Story is complete.

I didn't come to New York to fall in love. I came here to disappear. Mia Monroe has spent two years outrunning the ghosts of her past-the ones with her mother's voice and her father's silence. She doesn't believe in fairytales, happy endings, or men who mean what they say. Her walls are high, her heart locked tight, and her new job at Blake Enterprises is supposed to be a fresh start. Until he walks in. Adrian Blake. CEO. Billionaire. Beautifully controlled chaos. He's everything Mia doesn't trust-powerful, unreadable, and just a little bit cruel. The kind of man who could ruin a woman without ever touching her... and knows exactly how to do it. But there's something behind his polished facade-something broken, something dangerous, and Mia can't look away. He doesn't ask questions, and she doesn't offer answers. It should be simple. It never is. As lines blur and desire spirals into obsession, Mia is forced to confront the truth: Adrian may not be the villain of this story. She might be. And some things can't be outrun-especially when they feel like home. A slow-burn, emotionally charged romance about trauma, temptation, and two flawed souls who were never meant to collide... but can't seem to stay away. Perfect for readers who crave morally grey characters, complex emotional stakes, and chemistry that cuts deep. With a twist.

It wasn't supposed to mean anything. Until it did. It started with a party. No names. No plans. Just a feeling that stayed. Amber didn't expect him to matter. He didn't expect anything at all.

She has a survival guide. He's about to burn it. Emmy Carter knows exactly how the world works for a scholarship girl at Blackthorne University: keep your head down, keep your grades up, and stay invisible. Above all, never cross paths with the elite. Especially not Cole Harrington-the university's golden lacrosse captain, the arrogant multi-million dollar heir to a Boston empire, and a guy who looks like sin wrapped in cold, gray-eyed indifference.

He trashes my ice. I ruin his game plan. Lacy Carter runs Lakeside Rink with a clipboard, a perfect three-turn, and a zero-tolerance policy for cocky hockey captains. Enter Beckett "Beck" Rourke-a walking penalty who leaves slush, rule violations, and smug grins in his wake. When the city threatens to cut funding unless they cohost a winter fundraiser, the rink manager and the team's golden boy are forced onto the same sheet of ice. Their truce lasts exactly one practice. Beckett needs help with his edges; Lacy needs his team to stop treating her rink like a demolition derby. Midnight lessons turn into breath-stealing proximity. A fake date for donors becomes a real problem for self-control. One hotel room, one very loud goal horn, and one viral hallway kiss later, the town ships them harder than a Zamboni after overtime. But saving the rink means playing by the rules Lacy swore she'd never break again, and Beck's career can't survive a scandal. When the cameras catch fire and sponsors get skittish, he'll have to decide if he's protecting his image-or the woman who makes every inch of ice feel like home. Enemies on the surface. Partners under pressure. And when they finally stop fighting the pull? Let's just say the boards aren't the only things getting rocked. A filthy-sweet, enemies-to-lovers rom-com with a molten slow burn, explosive payoff, and a guaranteed HEA.

I always thought we were destined to be together. A decade together and what seemed like the perfect love story. Until one day, it slowly started to unravel at the seams. I realized our "perfect" love story only looked so perfect because I was being complacent. Once I started to speak up for myself, the facade crumbled and it all came crashing down. This is my story.
