Samara Rose and Elias Kent have nothing in common, aside from the fact that they hate each other-oh, and that they both have crushes on one another's best friend. As they both feel they have no chance with their crushes as it stands, Elias approaches with the idea for the two of them to fake date, hoping they'll be able to help one another to find ways to increase their chances with their crushes. Yet as their hatred for one another is mashed with fake love and fake attraction, they both begin to wonder which is real-the love or the hate they have for each other.

"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.

Sasha Belrose doesn't date hockey players. Not after what happened last time. As the coach's daughter, she's grown up around the rink, watching the game she loves be played by boys she can't trust. She keeps her head down, helps coach the little league, and makes sure her rules stay unbroken. Then Beckett Reid transfers in. Six-foot-something, cocky grin, golden hair, and a habit of finding her in every room. He's reckless on the ice, infuriating off of it, and obsessed with getting past her walls. When her dad forces them to co-coach the little league team, she's trapped in shared space with the one player she swore she'd avoid. And the worst part? Beckett doesn't just get under her skin - he makes her laugh, makes her feel seen, and makes her forget every reason she told herself to stay away. But Sasha knows what happens when she lets someone in. Beckett knows he's not going to stop until she does. And with every practice, every stolen glance, and every rule she's tempted to break, the ice between them gets thinner. And thinner. And thinner...

"She hates you," Logan tells Dean. "I'm aware." "Like, she really hates you. It's kind of impressive." Dean knows. What he doesn't know is why. He doesn't know her reasoning, or that the mystery skater he can't get out of his head - the one the whole Briar ice hockey team has started calling the Ice Princess - is the same woman who finds a reason to leave every room he enters. The ice doesn't lie, and neither does the way he looks at her when he thinks no one's watching.

She loved him for as long as she could remember. Her best friend's older brother. Off-limits. Untouchable. And completely unaware. Every time she got close, he pushed her away- cold words, distant eyes, like she was nothing at all. Now she's in a new city, chasing fashion, chasing freedom. Trying-really trying- to forget him. But he's still here. Still cold. Still the only boy who makes her heart ache. He told himself she meant nothing. Too young. Too close. Too dangerous. But now she's older- and impossible to ignore. She's done chasing. He's done pretending. And neither of them is ready for what comes next. Because sometimes the person you tried hardest to push away... Is the only one your heart has been waiting for.

Sleeps across the hallway. Two years younger, and still knows how to make her bend. Moan. Beg. "Truth or dare?" he asks. "Dare." "Then don't make a sound while I fuck you." She said she wouldn't fall. But when his hand wraps around her throat and he growls, "I don't care who touched you before. You're mine now." She breaks.
