He's got two minutes in the box-and he's using every second to win her over. When she lands her dream job as the San Jose Sharks' new social media manager, she expects early mornings, late nights, and maybe a few awkward run-ins with players. What she doesn't expect? William Eklund, golden boy forward with a jawline sharp enough to cut through playoff tension, who suddenly can't seem to stay out of the penalty box. At first, it's coincidence. A tripping call here, a roughing penalty there. But soon, it's clear: Will's racking up minutes on purpose-and he's using every chance to flirt with her through the glass. He's all charm, cheeky grins, and broken-English pickup lines. She's all rules, boundaries, and trying not to get fired. But when feelings start to blur with content strategy, and TikToks turn into real moments, one thing becomes obvious: She's so off-limits. And he's so into her.

Macklin Celebrini returns for an off-season with the Hughes family, planning to focus solely on training. But his routine gets complicated when he sees Lottie Cooper. Macklin's trying to stay disciplined. Lottie's trying not to embarrass herself. But with shared glances in the kitchen, awkward lake day interactions, and one ill-timed birthday party kiss they might not stand a chance.

Completed • First Draft - not edited. || "You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.
