He plays to win. She plays to roast him on live TV. Christmas is about to be a full-contact sport. When locker-room reporter Faith Langley asks a star forward one brutally honest question, she doesn't expect to go viral-or to get permanent access to the one man she cannot stand. Gabriel Saint is every headline she swore off: cocky, stupidly hot, and allergic to playing it safe. Forced together for holiday segments, charity events, and a very public bet before the Christmas Classic, Faith and Gabe spend December sniping into microphones, snarking under the mistletoe, and pretending the chemistry crackling between them is just "for the cameras." Then a snowstorm strands them in the arena overnight. Then a hot mic catches Gabe admitting she's the only reporter he cares about. Then one stupid, reckless kiss turns into something neither of them can laugh off. With Faith's dream promotion on the line, Gabriel's season under a microscope, and the entire league watching, keeping their hands off each other might save their careers... but cost them the only thing that's ever felt real. When the lights go up on the Christmas Classic, Gabriel is done hiding how hard he's fallen. One game, one grand gesture, one hat trick of a proposal- And if Faith is brave enough to want both love and the life she's built, this Christmas might just end in sudden-death happily ever after.

He trashes my ice. I ruin his game plan. Lacy Carter runs Lakeside Rink with a clipboard, a perfect three-turn, and a zero-tolerance policy for cocky hockey captains. Enter Beckett "Beck" Rourke-a walking penalty who leaves slush, rule violations, and smug grins in his wake. When the city threatens to cut funding unless they cohost a winter fundraiser, the rink manager and the team's golden boy are forced onto the same sheet of ice. Their truce lasts exactly one practice. Beckett needs help with his edges; Lacy needs his team to stop treating her rink like a demolition derby. Midnight lessons turn into breath-stealing proximity. A fake date for donors becomes a real problem for self-control. One hotel room, one very loud goal horn, and one viral hallway kiss later, the town ships them harder than a Zamboni after overtime. But saving the rink means playing by the rules Lacy swore she'd never break again, and Beck's career can't survive a scandal. When the cameras catch fire and sponsors get skittish, he'll have to decide if he's protecting his image-or the woman who makes every inch of ice feel like home. Enemies on the surface. Partners under pressure. And when they finally stop fighting the pull? Let's just say the boards aren't the only things getting rocked. A filthy-sweet, enemies-to-lovers rom-com with a molten slow burn, explosive payoff, and a guaranteed HEA.

Two seats. One train. A love story told in the time between stations. Elodie Cromwell edits other people's happily-ever-afters for a living. On Chicago's 7:12, she meets a quiet artist who sketches what the world almost misses-strangers' small graces, the curve of light on a window, the precise moment Elodie laughs. Tobias Finnegan is all easy smiles and closed sleeves, a thermos that passes for coffee and a sketchbook he never leaves behind. Their ritual begins with paper notes and inside jokes, grows into day trips and a list of "somedays," and-at last-becomes the kind of night that changes the shape of a life. They make one rule: no half-truths about feelings. But everyone gets to keep one secret. When Elodie stumbles on a folder that shouldn't exist, the life they've been drawing together tilts. On the very last page, she learns how love can be both a promise and a benediction-something you keep, even when you have to carry it forward alone. Tender, witty, and devastating in the best way, The Train Sketcher is a slow-burn city romance about ordinary miracles, the courage to say yes, and a final chapter you'll feel long after you close the book.
