Under the Spotlight follows Quinn Hughes, the dedicated and stoic captain of the Vancouver Canucks, as he navigates the pressures of an NHL season while secretly letting his guard down in front of a documentary crew filming for Face Off. Among the cameras is Nathalie Rivers, a talented and perceptive cinematographer who slowly becomes the person Quinn trusts the most. From early morning skates and candid locker room moments to quiet city walks and shared breakfasts, their professional relationship evolves into something tender and deeply personal. Through laughter, teasing, and vulnerable conversations, they discover a connection neither expected - one that balances Quinn's intense focus on hockey with Nathalie's quiet, grounding presence. As the Canucks battle through the season and into the playoffs, Nathalie captures every defining moment, while their own relationship blossoms behind the lens. From intimate candid photos and shared adventures to quiet nights reflecting on victories, Under the Spotlight is a heartwarming tale of love, trust, and the magic found in the spaces between fame and real life. It's a story about finding someone who sees you fully - on and off the ice - and learning that sometimes the most meaningful victories happen away from the spotlight.

She swore she'd never skate again, but the ice has a way of pulling you back-especially when the town's hockey star is watching. When Calliope Brooks loses her mother, her life is turned upside down. Forced to leave behind the familiarity of her old world, she moves to the small town of Lakehurst to live with her estranged father, the coach of the local boys' hockey team, the Lakehurst Sirens. Once a promising figure skater, Calliope has sworn off the ice-until a chance encounter with Grayson Maverick, the Sirens' star player and school heartthrob, ignites something she thought she'd lost. As Calliope finds herself drawn back to the rink, she's thrust into the chaotic, competitive world of hockey. Navigating budding friendships, lingering grief, and her growing feelings for Grayson, Calliope discovers that sometimes the only way to move forward is to embrace what makes you whole-on and off the ice. But as she steps into a role no one expected, Calliope must prove she has what it takes to be more than a fragile figurine-and face the pressures of skating with, and against, the boys who dominate the game. #1 icehockey (19th May 2025) #1 hockey (13th April 2025) #1 figureskating (20th April 2025) #1 coachesdaughter (20th April 2025) #2 greif (20th April 2025)

🌸 So far, so good. Despite everything, Madeline's still standing, still living - though her life has been upended more than once. Moving from America to England wasn't exactly easy but oddly enough, the return was much simpler. With little more than the bare minimum from her parents, and diabetes always complicating things, she had to rely on her brother for real help. Now, as she steps back into Nashville, she wonders how this might realign her path. Somehow, everything feels like it's falling into place. She's exactly where she needs to be - though there's one complication : a boy. Something she didn't planned at all. And maybe he's part of the plan, too. Maybe for the better. 🏒 Hockey has always been one of Jude's greatest loves, ever since he can remember. And to be blunt, he's damn good at it. But don't mistake him for the typical player type you read about in books. He doesn't have girls lining up outside his door, and when there is someone, he treats her right - once, and only once. It's a rule he set for himself. He met his best friend Colin during a hockey game, both rooting for opposite teams. Colin was on the wrong side, of course, but somehow, they became inseparable. Colin has diabetes, so over time, he learned how to help. What he didn't expect was for that knowledge to help him with a girl. A girl more complicated than any genetic disease. But maybe that's a challenge worth taking. ° ° ° Welcome to this new book. Please don't forget to vote, comment and share ❤️
