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

Anxious overachiever, Sophia Calloway, has a plan; graduate top of her class, get into a top 3 law school, keep her head down and emotions quieter. So when the University of Michigan's ice hockey team targets her in a prank gone wrong? She's ready to call campus security, drop-kick the nearest jock and move on with her structured little life. Instead, she gets Holden Zhao. Captain of the hockey team- too charming for his own good, worryingly reckless and absolutely allergic to authority. And now- assigned to her beloved library shift as punishment. Holden has never met a girl who doesn't fall at his feet. Sophia has never met a boy who makes her want to scream... and maybe kiss, all in the same breath. He calls her uptight. She calls him a menace. But the longer they're stuck together, the harder it is to pretend it's just a punishment. The less it feels like one, too. ➳♡➳ "I'm not going to kiss you, Soph." She crosses her arms defensively. "And why the hell not?" "I'm not going to kiss you," My lips graze the shell of her ear. "Until you beg me to." ➳♡➳ Slow burn. Enemies to friends to lovers. Banter like a whiplash. One anxious overachiever. One chaotic hockey captain. This was never part of the plan.
