Book one of three in the Skates on Ice trilogy. EMERSON CALDER: One fall. And that one fall almost ended my entire figure skating career. To make matters worse, I could almost taste my first Olympic win... before Onyx Steele, my skating partner, made one mistake during our routine that sent me slamming against the ice. I never blamed him, but my best friend blames himself. We almost made it. Until we didn't. It's been three years, and last year, I decided to take the ice back by becoming my university's hockey mascot. Hidden identity, no one knew it was me, but then? Then I meet Ashton Knox-the university's star hockey player, and we began talking. What was supposed to be one year of being the Wolves mascot turned into two. Because I can't part from the fond friendship I formed with him. He's a distraction from my goals, but I can't stop. He believes in me. But he has no idea who I am underneath this mask. I didn't want to be in a spotlight that wasn't mine. Then, Ashton gets injured on the ice, during a game, and the moment I tear off that mascot head and race over to him, I am thrust right into that same spotlight that isn't mine. Maybe I have far more feelings for the dopey hockey player than I initially realized.

BOOK TWO IN THE SKATES ON ICE TRILOGY - NOAH WILDER I want the attention of the media, and I will get it by any means necessary. It's crucial. I need their cameras and articles because that means my name is finally hitting headlines. Which means, more people will see them. Like, perhaps, my older brother, who I haven't seen since we were forced apart by the foster care system. I was nine, and he was sixteen. I was adopted, and I even have another amazing older brother that I want him to meet. Except, when I keep falling on my face in hopes to get noticed by the media, Caleb Calder keeps pulling me back, and making things better. Caleb Calder. Caleb Calder. Caleb Calder. We used to be friends. Best friends. Secretly. Until we weren't. Until he asked me on a date, and when I tried to find him before our game against each other-the night of our supposed date-I heard him. I heard him say that he'd never date him-me-in any reality. It was a ploy, and I thought better of him. Until I couldn't. Now, I'm confused. Because his actions don't seem that of someone who didn't care. Did I get something wrong? We're on the same NHL team now, and things are getting crazy. Caleb keeps protecting me from the media, and I keep getting addicted to the way he protects me. Until I am forced to realize two things... One, I'm falling for Caleb Calder all over again. And two? My lost, big brother has been marginally closer to me than I ever could have realized. THIS STORY CONTAINS THE FAKE DATING TROPE. XOXO

BOOK THREE OF THREE IN THE SKATES ON ICE TRILOGY - CASPIAN VALE I made a mistake that wasn't so much a mistake. I can't figure out how to rationalize what happened. I don't know how to regret it, either. I slept with my ex-fiance. That sentence is enough to send anyone into a spiral. Including me. I'm in a spiral. I've finally managed to make my dream come true. I'm going to the Olympics. Which means, I am steadily in New York for the next few months, training. No comps. No traveling. Nothing. I'm in my home of New York, and I'm staying. Guess what fate the world gave me? Keon Wilder, my precious ex-fiance, has been traded to the New York Knights. Meaning, Keon will be here, living in New York. And the moment he finds out my new home has been New York, he is trying to be my support system. He wants to talk, which is fair, but I can't. Not yet. I'm right there. I'm about to achieve my dream. However... Keon was my dream, too, and I love him more than anything in this world. Just know this. Chaos ensues. Keon's team isn't welcoming him the way he deserves, and I simply can't leave him alone. The same way he can't leave me alone. But what Keon doesn't know? I've been to his games. A lot of them. Too many of them. And I start going again. He's trying to help me reach my dream-because he's amazing-and here I am, scared I'll lose him all over again. Is it possible for me to have both dreams, or were we always doomed from the start?

[BxB] Aiden Rowe never asked for hockey. He doesn't like the cold, the crowds or the jocks. He'd much rather spend his time watching birds. But when he gets stuck covering the Port Howe Puffins for the school paper, his senior year suddenly revolves around freezing rinks, team dinners, deadlines and a sport he doesn't really understand. Somewhere between the chaos though, he finds someone who actually sees him and maybe hockey and Port Howe aren't the worst things after all. A soft, quirky and occasionally unhinged story about finding warmth (and love) in the unlikeliest of places. Content warning: lots of bird nerding Note: This is very much a queer romance with mature themes. Cover by @surrenderedstories
