Off The Rink #1 "Who even-?" Jia pressed a hand to her forehead, feeling the sharp, rhythmic throb of a bruise already blooming on her temple. She shouldn't even be in Chicago, let alone sitting rink-side at a hockey game. As a UCLA communications major, Jia survived on logic and order. This sport was the exact opposite: pure, chaotic sensory overload. "I was the one who shot the puck. I'm sorry." The apology belonged to Connor. On the ice, he was the league's rising star, hidden behind a caged helmet and a reputation. Off the ice, his world was narrowed down to empty apartments and the dull hum of post-game aches. He had his routine perfected-until one bad shot changed everything. Strings were unraveling. Attachments grew. Reality is following. Connor doesn't do safe, he was willing to tear his world apart just to keep a piece of hers.

Burned out by fame and pressure, Samira finds herself trying to find a way to get rid of her writer's block with peace. The singer decided to start a road trip to San Jose. Hoping to finally get the inspiration she needed to write the second album that her label was so desperate about. However, she finds herself standing outside a certain hockey player's front door.

Miley Carter is a billionaire with the weight of her self-made company on her shoulders. A simple brand ambassadorship quickly blurs into a complicated charade, forcing them to cross the line between a carefully staged public relationship and very real, private emotions.

Each encounter is more irritating than the last. Camille is sharp, unimpressed, and completely immune to his charm. Will should forget about her.

teammate's sister secret relationship dark past dual pov instagram + real life Olivia Knight has already built a life in Chicago by the time her brother is traded to the Blackhawks. At twenty-three, she's disciplined, private, and deeply focused on her law school internship-someone who keeps her world small because it feels safer that way, despite the constant stream of word vomit swarming in her head. When Spencer moves in, the life she's carefully controlled begins to expand whether she wants it to or not. Connor Bedard is part of that expansion. Younger, sharp, and disarmingly open, he notices the things Olivia doesn't volunteer-the way she avoids certain questions, the tension she carries, the boundaries she never explains. What starts as shared space and quiet conversations turns into something slower, built on trust rather than urgency.

Annelise Carter has always been the easy one to overlook. The responsible friend. The quiet one. The girl who follows the rules, keeps her head down, and doesn't make messes-literal or otherwise. At nineteen, she's new to San Jose, working long hours at a salon, building something for herself from scratch. It's not glamorous, but it's safe. Predictable. Controlled. Exactly how she likes it. So when her client-Quinn, effortlessly cool and impossible not to like-invites her to hang out, Annie tells herself it's just a one-time thing. Just a night out with people who feel a little louder, a little brighter than anything she's used to. She doesn't expect Will. Will is everything Annie has spent her life avoiding-confident, charming, and completely at ease in chaos. The kind of guy who fills a room without trying. The kind of guy who knows exactly what he's doing when he looks at her a second too long, smiles a little too slow. And the kind of guy who absolutely shouldn't be interested in her. But he is. From the moment they meet, something shifts. The teasing comes easy. The attention lingers. And somehow, beneath all the noise and laughter, Will softens-quietly, instinctively-like Annie is the only thing that can slow him down. That's what scares her. Because Annie knows how this goes. Girls like her don't end up with guys like Will. Not without getting hurt. Not without losing parts of themselves in the process. And no matter how gentle he is with her, no matter how different he feels when it's just the two of them- She can't ignore the voice in her head telling her it's a bad idea. He's too experienced. She's too careful. They're too different. Right? SPINOFF OF double fantasy- macklin celebrini
