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.

The world knows her face. No one knows her voice. Tessa McRae is famous for standing beside her sister. To the public, she is Tate McRae's shadow-her younger sister by ten months, her backup dancer on tour, her favorite model for magazine covers and music videos. Beautiful, poised, always in motion, always half a step out of frame. No one knows she used to write music. No one knows why she stopped. When Tate begins dating NHL star Jack Hughes in the middle of hockey season, Tessa follows her to New Jersey like she always does-protective, steady, invisible in the ways that matter. She doesn't expect to meet Luke Hughes. Jack's younger brother is quiet where the world is loud, gentle where fame is sharp. While Jack recovers from a freak injury and the season barrels forward without pause, Luke becomes an unexpected constant-text messages between flights, late-night calls after losses, small truths exchanged in the dark. What starts as friendship becomes something dangerous. Because Luke sees her. Not the model. Not the dancer. Not the sister. The girl who still hears songs in her bones. Every lyric she writes in secret feels like betrayal. Every feeling for Luke feels like crossing a line that can't be uncrossed. Because loving him doesn't just risk her heart. It risks her sister. Their fragile balance. The life Tessa rebuilt after her voice was taken from her. And when the music comes back louder than her fear, she must decide: remain the girl the world recognizes... or become the woman her heart has been writing all along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ updating every sunday :)

emmy edwards has spent her whole life in the shadow of the rink - as a michigan student-athlete, a lacrosse standout, and the twin sister of defenseman ethan edwards, she's used to navigating a world full of hockey boys, chirping, and chaos. the one thing she isn't used to? feelings. especially not the feelings she's been secretly writing down in a collection of unsent letters addressed to her brother's best friend. luke hughes is supposed to be off-limits - the golden boy of yost, the quiet-hearted hockey star who always looks out for her, the one person she should never fall for. but when he accidentally discovers the letters she never meant for anyone to read, everything changes. and instead of walking away, he starts writing back. she doesn't know he's reading. he doesn't know how to stop. told entirely through letters both hidden and unsent, this is a slow, aching story of friendship, trust, late-night practices, unexpected confessions, and the terrifying possibility that the person you're falling for... might be falling too.

She spends years looking for love everywhere except where it's waiting for her. In crowded train cars. Across dinner tables. In songs playing too loudly through cracked phone speakers. In the way her parents still reach for each other without thinking after thirty years. She watches it bloom, break apart, disappear, return again. Quietly collecting evidence that real love exists. Then she meets Luke Hughes. At first, it's nothing dramatic. Just late-night drives after games, shared coffees gone cold during study sessions, and conversations that somehow last until sunrise. But somewhere between missed calls, winters apart, and all the tiny moments nobody writes songs about, Luke becomes woven into the fabric of her life so gradually she hardly notices it happening. Each chapter traces a different glimpse of love: messy, fleeting, devastating, ordinary. And as the years pass, she begins to realize the thing she's been searching for her whole life may have been growing inside her all along.

Sloane Bennett has been chasing gold since she was sixteen. A silver medal at her first Olympics nearly broke her. A gold at twenty proved she belonged. Now, at twenty-four, the New York Sirens superstar returns to the Olympic stage for the third time-stronger, sharper, and no longer the prodigy people whisper about. She's inevitable. Across the ice, so is he. Jack Hughes has spent his entire life under a spotlight-first overall pick, franchise cornerstone, the golden child of American hockey. But there's only one person who has ever matched him stride for stride. Only one who never looked impressed. Only one who stripped him clean at eleven years old and grinned when he asked for again. Now, for the first time, they wear the same flag. With both Bennett siblings and two Hughes brothers anchoring Team USA, the Olympics become more than a tournament. They become collision. History. Proximity neither of them is prepared for. Between shared family sections, late-night Village conversations, bruised ribs, and unbearable tension that stretches across two gold medal games, longing that began in childhood finally demands to be acknowledged. But gold doesn't make life simple. When the Games end, reality waits: • Media frenzy. • Headlines that write themselves. • Separate leagues. • Separate cities. • Careers that don't slow down for love. And for two people who have spent their lives chasing greatness, the question isn't whether they can win. It's whether they can choose each other without losing themselves. Because some rivalries are built on competition. And some love stories are built on the same word that started everything: Again.

Freya Carter designs perfection for a living. Details, stitching, and precision those she can control. But nothing prepares her for Jack Hughes, the star forward whose name she thought she'd forgotten. He's charming, reckless, impossible to ignore and now one of her clients. They shouldn't have crossed paths again not after all these years. But fate has a funny way of stitching two lives back together.

Emerson Hughes has always known hockey from the inside out. As the sister of three NHL stars and the twin of Jack Hughes, Emma has spent her entire life around the game - first on the ice, then behind the scenes, building a career in PR and social media with the New Jersey Devils. She loves her job, her team, and the life she has made for herself in Jersey. But when a trade sends her oldest brother Quinn to Minnesota, Emma drops everything to help him settle into a new city, a new team, and a new chapter. She expects boxes, paperwork, and maybe a little homesickness. She does not expect Matt Boldy. Quiet, composed, and impossible to read off the ice, Matt is nothing like the hotshot forward Emma assumed he would be. But the more time she spends in Minnesota, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them - or the fact that she keeps finding reasons to stay a little longer. With her life in New Jersey, Matt's in Minnesota, and three protective brothers watching far too closely, Emma knows falling for him could complicate everything. But some risks are worth taking. And Matt Boldy might just be her wild card. matt boldy x oc

Dean blinked, not understanding. Not fully. "Sick how?" Rosie pressed a hand to her chest. Pain flared beneath her palm. Sharp now. Wrong. "I'm sick," she repeated. Dean stepped forward immediately. "Okay. I'll take you home. You'll feel better tomorrow." The gentleness in his voice broke her. "No, Dean." Her knees weakened. Beau caught her elbow. "Rosie." She looked at them both through tears. For weeks, she had imagined telling them. Not like this. Never like this. Not in a bar with music pounding and her heart misfiring in her chest. FINISHED TILL SEASON TWO Dean Di Laurentis x Oc x Beau Maxwell (Poly) "Jesus, all three of you need a cold shower." -Dexter
