They were ripped out of my mind. I woke up to a man holding my hand, whispering how much he loved me. Lev. Everyone says he's a saint. That I'm lucky that a perfect guy stuck by me-through the alcoholism, the depression, the accident. The doctors promised a full recovery. It isn't happening. And deep down, I know it isn't because of the amnesia. Because why does my skin crawl every time Lev smiles? When he locks the bedroom door at night? Everyone has the exact same story for that Tuesday. A late dinner. Me driving out to pick up a limited-edition vinyl. And then... the accident. It all sounds too smooth. Too rehearsed. And the only piece missing? My story. But remembering might just be worse than forgetting. My mother dodges the question. Aleksandr, my best friend, won't look me in the eye when I ask, shutting down the second I bring it up. Lev built a cage and called it a home. He is just waiting for me to settle back into his darkness. Because that's what happens to girls like me. We stay quiet. We obey. And then we disappear.

On paper, she's untouchable. But perfection is just a cover for a ruined family, a dark past, bloody hands and a poisoned heart. Everyone buys the act. Not him. The devil from her childhood. Luc carries a guilt that drives him into sex, illegal racing and fights, acting like nothing left to lose. He thinks he knows what destroyed his life. He has no idea his guilt is the same as Riah's tainted soul. Being forced together? It's vicious. Two killers in a bed, where lying is keeping the other alive. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬.

A Good Girl's Guide To Being Naughty • • • Ivy Collins is a normal 21 y/o woman. Except for the fact she's a virgin ... or at least she was until she had sex with her university rivals hockey captain. After a quick (devastatingly quick) night with the man and being called a lousy lay, Ivy made a promise to herself that she wouldn't do it again ... sex that is. Who needs sex when all it brought was insecurities and more, and it wasn't even that good to begin with. Enter Asher Hudson, Ice Hockey captain, her brothers best friend and her best friends brother - triple trifecta of why she shouldn't get involved with him. But when he overhears a conversation Ivy has with her best friend, he gives her an offer she can't refuse. Well, she can, and she should, but why would she want to? Three months, she helps him with his grades, and he'll help her with her sex life. Only one rule, don't fall in love. Easy, right? He'll teach her everything she wants to know, and show her that sex can be fun, you just have to know how to do it right. And Ivy should refuse, after all he's the Ice Hockey captain, her brother's best friend and her best friend's brother - but what's the fun in that. Ivy knows she should say no, but she won't. And she won't fall in love, she can't. ••• Completed • First Draft - Edited. Watty2025 winner #1 in #Romance #1 in #Brotherbestfriend #2 in #bestfriendsbrother #2 in #icehockey

She was supposed to leave him behind. Instead, he followed her home - with a grin and a proposition she can't seem to refuse. • • • Leon Collins has an uncanny resemblance to temptation - and Charlotte Hudson knows better than to touch it twice. As maid of honour to her best friend and sister-in-law-to-be, Charlotte's only job is to keep the wedding week flawless. But that's easier said than done when the best man is Leon: her brother's best friend, her best friend's brother, and the one mistake she swore she'd never make again. They danced too close once - too drunk, too messy, too young - but there's always consequences to dancing with temptation and Charlotte has paid the price. One she promises herself she won't ever revisit. But now they're walking down the aisle together, tension simmering under every glance, every brush of skin, every drunken confession that never should've left her lips. When the week ends, Charlotte thinks she's leaving the past - her young and stupid mistakes - and him behind for good. She's wrong. Because Leon Collins just got traded to her new team. Now he's in her office, in her space, and in her head - all charm, smirks, and a proposition that shouldn't sound as tempting as it does. One rule. No feelings. Just a physical arrangement to burn off the heat neither of them can seem to ignore. But desire this dangerous doesn't play by the rules. And the closer Charlotte gets to Leon, the more her carefully built walls begin to crack. She promised herself she'd never fall for him again. But Leon Collins has always been the one risk she can't resist.

I thought knights in shining armour were for fairytales... until one hockey player made me believe otherwise. • • • She was promised to someone else. He promised himself he'd never cross the line. Madden knows better than to want the coach's daughter - especially when she's engaged to another man, polished and charming, the kind everyone admires. But he also knows when something isn't right. And he sees what she can't: the subtle control, the quiet manipulations, the too tight smile. So he becomes her safe place. Her anchor. No demands. No expectations. Just quiet, steady devotion. Selena never expected freedom to feel this gentle... or love to feel this patient. She thought she had to survive alone. She thought desire always came with risk. But with Madden, safety and passion aren't opposites - they're inseparable. But devotion has a way of becoming something sacred - especially when it's built on trust, not temptation.

Complete. Unedited. They needed a Sloane on the ice, they just never expected that she would be the one to fill the skates- and she never expected her brothers childhood friend to start paying a little too much attention. • • • I was a Sloane, but I wasn't the one anyone ever looked at. Never supposed to carry my father's dream. Never supposed to want the ice the way I do. My father calls me his ice princess. When he remembers I exist, that is. Graceful. Elegant. Temporary. Hockey was never meant to be mine. But when my twin brother, Sebastian, is handed the opportunity of a lifetime and chooses to walk away - I'm given a choice no one would ever offer me willingly. Take his place. Wear his jersey. Become him. One semester. One secret. Under the helmet, I'm invisible. Padding hides the curves. Silence hides the truth. As long as I never take the helmet off, never step into the locker room, never let anyone look too closely - I can play. And I can play hard. I just never expected Justin Leeds to start paying me the attention no one else ever has.
