"I just-want to hold onto it for a second more," she said, softer now, gaze drifting past him. "Before it all slips... this, with Marty, and the team, and Cassie, and-" she hesitated, looking him in the eyes, just briefly, "everything." A beat. "Slips?" He said, leaning in the doorway. She shrugged, already reaching for something on the counter. "It sounded better in my head." He didn't move. "Did it?" Blair let out a small breath, half a smile pulling at her mouth. "Don't read into it." "Wasn't planning to," he said. "Just sounded like it mattered." She glanced at him for a second, then looked away. "It doesn't." "Yeah," he said quietly. "I don't think that's true."

Charlie Bennett saw the new superstar as a challenge. Quinn Hughes wanted control over every part of his life in Minnesota. The opposing forces were never meant to click like they did.

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 #1 quinnhughes

Before Elias Pettersson joined the Vancouver Canucks he made a deal with the devil. The devil, in this case, is Rick Tocchet (no disrespect to Rick just using a play on words here) who agreed to sign Elias if his younger sister was to marry his son. (Not accurate, but idc) So Elias moves his 19 year old sister Ellie to Vancouver with him, where they both meet the captain and their new roommate where Ellie's world is turned upside down. What will she do?? this story will include some age gap (25 and 19), a brief mention of SA (there will be a warning before the chapter), and sexual content Best rankings: #2 in "Brother's best friend"- May 3rd, 2025 #18 in "hughes" - June 10th, 2025 #4 in "quinn" - July 6th, 2025 #3 in "quinnhughes" - July 19th, 2025 #14 in "Vancouver" - July 21st, 2025 #1 in "Vancouver" - October 13th, 2025

will Quinn and Sky make it through their hardships, or will they shatter under the pressure of heartaches, expectations and the watchful eye of Sky's older brother. Sky's just a young girl trying to balance out her life, does she really need an older guy to swoop in and save her like the fairytales her mother used to tell her about? this book will be sorta based on the song duvet

Sloane Mercer has spent the last four years rebuilding herself. After a devastating fall on the world stage, she's returned stronger, sharper, and more controlled than ever. Exactly what it takes to survive Olympic pressure. At 23, this is her moment. Her last chance to prove she's more than the girl who broke under the spotlight. Distractions aren't part of her plan. Neither is Quinn Hughes. He's everything she avoids. Unpredictable, persistent, and far too observant for his own good. A star defenseman for Team USA hockey, Quinn thrives in chaos, while Sloane has built her entire career around control. He doesn't belong in her world. But he keeps showing up anyway. Between early morning practices and late-night empty rinks, their paths begin to cross in ways she can't ignore, and doesn't want to. Because the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to hold the lines between focus and feeling. And the closer she gets to the performance of her life, the more everything starts to slip. With Olympic gold on the line and no room for mistakes, Sloane is forced to choose. Protect the life she's fought to rebuild... or risk it all for something she never planned. Because some falls don't cost you everything. Some change everything.
