I had been second best all my life. But this time, when it comes to her, I'm not willing to accept defeat. I'll do whatever it takes to get her to choose me. *** Having a best friend that was wildly popular, and one of the best hockey players in the United American Hockey League, was both a curse and a blessing. On the plus side, I got to play hockey with my best friend, and there was never a shortage of beautiful girls. At least there wasn't until Nash decided to man up and tell his childhood friend that he'd always loved her. The bad part was that I usually ended up being second best. In my late teens and early twenties I hadn't cared that I wasn't picked in the first round of the draft, or that sponsors chose Nash ahead of me, or even if I ended up with a girl who didn't really want me for me. I made a nice living playing hockey. I had a few good friends and a nice place to live in the middle of Manhattan. Despite not being the best, I'd made most of my dreams come true and it was a far stretch from the lonely kid I'd been growing up in the rural Midwest. I was happy. I was content. Until her.... It's not like I didn't want what Nash had. I did. I do. Who doesn't want a happily ever after? It's just that I've never taken the risk and allowed a woman to see past my defenses before, to see the real me, with my baggage and all my insecurities... until now. As scary as that is in itself, what makes it complicated is that my new roommate, Jackson - who I offered my spare bedroom to a while back when he needed a place to stay - and Bryce - one of my friends and teammates- also seem to have an interest in her... the woman who has me questioning all my decisions. The thing is... I'm pretty sure I'm not willing to be a second choice this time around...

Paradise. The location. The work. The guy. Sophia Palmer has never been happier. After the craziest ten months of her life, she's enjoying the idyllic scenery of Costa Rica with the man of her dreams by her side. Volunteering at a turtle refuge, having endless sex, and relaxing in an infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea -- nothing could possibly burst her bubble. Except maybe some overzealous fans, a slew of hatred on social media, and a viral recording of a past kiss with her famous boyfriend's equally famous best friend. * Euphoria. The fame. The fans. The girl. Ed Stone has been living life on a permanent high. He thought nothing could beat the buzz of singing in an arena full of adoring fans, or hitting number one in the charts, or finding that perfect lyric. Then Sophia Palmer entered his life ten months ago, and everything he thought he knew about happiness changed. No music-induced high can make his heart thump as fast as she does. He used to like the barrier that his stage persona provided, but when he's a squeaky-clean popstar who can do no wrong, his adoring fanbase is quick to vilify anyone who doesn't match up. Including his girlfriend. The solution? It's time for Teddy Stone to show the world a different side of him. * Content warnings: strong sexual content, strong language Sample: This is a sample.

{18+] When a rival goalie gives Isla a wrong number, she has no idea she's texting her brother's teammate. ***** Isla Watson can't stand hockey players. Not that anybody knows that. To the outside world, she's a hockey aficionado, running a successful social media account that goes behind the scenes of the NHL's Saskatoon Storm. The only thing colder than her 'Isla on Ice' page is her relationship with her brother's teammate, who resents everything about social media. When a rival team's goalie gives Isla a deliberately wrong number, she finally has a chance to take a break from putting on a show for the camera and let someone see the real girl behind the screen. Seb Cooper has a reputation for dropping the gloves. His fight on the ice is only matched by his battle with his D-partner's gorgeous sister, who he's clashed with ever since they drunkenly hooked up three years ago. She's just another 'influencer' who prioritises internet clout over real connections. Fortunately, the girl on the other end of his phone is far more down to earth, and he can finally talk to someone without worrying about ulterior motives. When Isla is tasked with creating a video series about learning to skate, an injured Seb is assigned as her teacher. The only thing they can agree on is their burning mutual attraction that melts the ice. Little do they know, they've been anonymously texting each other for months. Hidden in those messages are lies, secrets, and vulnerabilities, and when their two worlds collide, Isla and Seb must decide which version is their reality.
