Paige Bueckers has faced sold-out arenas, national championships, and the pressure of being one of basketball's biggest stars. None of that prepared her for meeting a princess. When Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, bring their family to Connecticut for the summer, it's supposed to be a simple visit. Harry and Geno Auriemma have been close friends for years, and with the Sussex family owning a summer home nearby, stopping by UConn practice has become a tradition. Their oldest daughter, Her Royal Highness Princess Amelia Diana of Sussex, is 18 years old and unlike any royal the world has ever seen. Raised in America while balancing royal duties, she's witty, down-to-earth, fiercely protective of her younger siblings-Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet-and just wants to be treated like a normal teenager whenever she can. Paige expects to shake a few hands, smile for a picture, and get back to practice. Instead, one conversation changes everything. As friendship turns into something neither of them expected, Paige and Amelia must navigate two very different worlds: one ruled by championships, the other by crowns. Between royal security, nonstop media attention, palace traditions, and the relentless spotlight of fame, falling in love is the easy part. Keeping that love alive is another story. Because when the world's most recognizable basketball player falls for an actual princess, every headline becomes history-and every choice could change both of their futures forever. Sometimes the greatest love story isn't between two people from the same world... it's between two people brave enough to build one together.

"I thought you left," Ivy said softly. "I was waiting," Ryan replied. "You're getting soaked." "I don't care." "Why are you still here?" "Because if I leave now... I'll regret it." "...Ryan." "Ivy." Silence. "Can I?" he asked quietly. She nodded slightly. His hand touched her cheek. "You're shaking." "I'm not." "You are." "I'm not cold." "I didn't say you were." A pause. "I think I'm falling for you," he said. "...You think?" "No," Ryan whispered. "I know." "You shouldn't say that." "But I do." "...This is a bad idea." "...We should stop." "I know." Neither of them moved. "Then what are we doing?" she whispered." Ryan looked at her. "I don't want to stop." ── ⋆⋅𖤓⋅⋆ ── Some girls get noticed. Some girls chase attention. Ivy Caldwell is neither. She came to North Ridge University to start over, to be invisible, and to focus on her studies. A new city, a new school, a fresh start-no distractions, no drama, no mistakes. Then she meets Ryan Carter. He's everything she's not: confident, reckless, the star forward of the hockey team, and the kind of guy every girl wants-but who never wants anyone in return. He's the bad boy of campus, the player everyone whispers about, the guy who thinks he's untouchable. But Ryan notices her. Not because she's loud or flashy, but because she's quiet. She doesn't swoon or fawn. She doesn't even know who he is. And suddenly, the guy who never chases anyone wants her more than he's ever wanted anyone. This is a story about first impressions, stolen glances, and a game of hearts where the stakes are high. Because sometimes, the coldest hearts can melt... when they're pushed Heart on Ice.

Sterling Carter's life is built on control-perfect grades, perfect form, perfect trajectory straight to the Olympic volleyball team. At twenty-two, she's the star outside hitter at the University of Michigan and top of her class in dentistry, the golden product of an old-money family that only loves success. One game, one bad landing, and one opponent's foot hidden under the net is all it takes to blow it apart. With a torn ACL and PCL and a nine-to-twelve-month recovery, Sterling's dream is suddenly on life support. The scouts stop calling. Her parents pull away. For the first time in her life, there's no plan she can grind her way through, no version of "try harder" that will fix what's broken. Enter Maddox King-twenty-four, captain of Michigan's D1 hockey team, human freight train on the ice, and soft-hearted menace off it. He has everything Sterling doesn't: a loud, loving family, a stupidly loyal group of friends, and the unshakable belief that people are worth more than what they can do. When a twist of timing and one overinvested best friend pull Sterling into Maddox's orbit, he becomes the one person who refuses to treat her like she's ruined. As the season she was supposed to dominate turns into a year on the sideline, Sterling has to learn how to exist without the one thing that's always defined her-and decide whether letting Maddox in is one more risky play she can't afford... or the first choice she makes entirely for herself. Book #1 in the 'Carter' series

Sage Donovan lives in the quiet between emergencies. As a 911 dispatcher, she's the voice strangers cling to - calm, steady, unshakable. But the night she answers a call from a laughing, half-dressed stranger named "Captain Smokeshow," something shifts. She doesn't know he's Blue Bennings - the Hart family's long-buried secret. Blue never knew his father or the dynasty waiting for him at Station 113. He never expected the dispatcher who teased him on a prank-adjacent call to be the woman he can't stop thinking about - or that she's the one person he absolutely shouldn't fall for. She's Ryan Hart's best friend. She's older. She's everything Blue doesn't think he deserves. And yet the connection between them sparks fast... and burns fast. When family secrets explode and Blue steps into the firehouse that belongs to the father who abandoned him, Sage becomes the only steady thing in his life - the one voice that could save him again. If she lets herself.
