When your childhood best friend brings home his new teammate... For your entire life, you grew up next to the Celebrini's on one side, and your best friend Addy's family on the other in North Vancouver. All of your parents were best friends from before you were born. From that, the "Core Four" started, with you, your twin Miles, Macklin, and Addy. Growing up, Miles and Macklin played hockey together before Miles switched to soccer, and Macklin's older brother (Aiden) was best friends with your older brother (Max). But, in 2020, Max gets into a fatal car crash while in college. Now, four years later, you are finishing your first year at being roommates with Addy at Stanford University, while Miles plays on the Stanford men's soccer team. Mack's NHL draft is coming up shortly where he gets drafted to the one and only San Jose Sharks.

She posted a TikTok. He saw it. Neither of them planned for everything that happened next. She's not famous. She's not his type. But suddenly the entire internet is shipping them-and maybe, just maybe... they were right. This is what happens when a slow burn spirals into a full-speed drift.

ON GOOD READ SO YOU CAN ADD TO YOUR COUNT Mackenzie "Mac" Weaver has spent almost two years perfecting the art of being low-maintenance-quiet, accommodating, and easy to love. As an international student from Australia studying design at Frostford University, Minnesota, she's built what she thought was a stable life: a solid relationship, a carefully curated apartment, and the promise of a future that won't fall apart like her parents' marriage did. But when that carefully constructed life shatters in a single afternoon, Mac finds herself with nowhere to go and everything to lose. Her student visa depends on staying enrolled, her budget can't handle living alone, and going home isn't an option. Enter Maya Laurent, Mac's fiercely protective best friend, and her older brother Jace. A charming hockey player for the Frostford Wolves with a reputation for being as smooth on the ice as he is off it. What starts as a temporary 'crash on their couch' becomes something more complicated when Mac officially moves into their spare room and finds herself pulled into the loud, chaotic world of college hockey. As Mac learns to take up space instead of making herself smaller, she'll discover that sometimes the people who see you best aren't the ones you bend yourself into shapes for-and that finding your voice might mean letting go of everything you thought you needed to be. A story about healing, finding your strength, and learning that being soft doesn't mean being weak.

"Is this right?" Aiden whispered, fingers trembling inside of me. "Tell me what to do." And then his teammate walked in. Ψ The first time Aiden Wilder touched me, he asked if he was doing it right. The second time, he begged me to teach him more. The third time, we weren't alone. Aiden is the NHL's #1 draft pick. Nineteen. Six-foot-one of raw talent and a contract worth millions. He's fast on the ice, awkward off it... and a virgin. I was hired to coach him through fame. Help him deal with the media, the fans, the pressure. Not teach him how to take off my clothes with shaking hands. Not guide his mouth between my thighs and whisper praise into his ear. Not fall for the way he moans like he means it. But then his teammate Luke Mitchell walked in-older, cockier, and definitely not as straight as everyone thinks. He saw what we were doing. He didn't walk away. He asked if we needed help. And Aiden? He said yes. Now there's three of us. No rules. No labels. No going back. But somewhere between the lessons, the touches, and the kisses we shouldn't have shared...someone caught feelings. And I'm scared it wasn't just one of them.

it gets worse before it gets better.
