After walking away from the sport that once defined her, she's ready for a fresh start-majoring in sports management at Columbia University and moving in with her best friend, Luke Hughes. There's just one catch: Jack Hughes, Luke's older brother and the guy who's always been more than just a friend, also lives there. Living under the same roof as Jack stirs up old emotions Ivy isn't sure she's ready to face, especially when their history is filled with heated arguments, undeniable tension, and moments that always felt like almost something. But as Ivy finds her footing-making a new friend in the city, settling into life with the Hughes family again-and getting back on the ice. Torn between the life she's built and the one she left behind, Ivy struggles with whether she's ready to lace up her skates again. And when Jack's jealousy flares at her growing bond with someone new, tensions reach a breaking point-on and off the ice. Second chances, late-night skates, and a love story that refuses to stay in the past-Against the Boards is a heartwarming and steamy romance about finding your way back home, in hockey and in love. ______________ I don't own any of the characters accept for Ivy and Kyla.

Sloane Bennett has been chasing gold since she was sixteen. A silver medal at her first Olympics nearly broke her. A gold at twenty proved she belonged. Now, at twenty-four, the New York Sirens superstar returns to the Olympic stage for the third time-stronger, sharper, and no longer the prodigy people whisper about. She's inevitable. Across the ice, so is he. Jack Hughes has spent his entire life under a spotlight-first overall pick, franchise cornerstone, the golden child of American hockey. But there's only one person who has ever matched him stride for stride. Only one who never looked impressed. Only one who stripped him clean at eleven years old and grinned when he asked for again. Now, for the first time, they wear the same flag. With both Bennett siblings and two Hughes brothers anchoring Team USA, the Olympics become more than a tournament. They become collision. History. Proximity neither of them is prepared for. Between shared family sections, late-night Village conversations, bruised ribs, and unbearable tension that stretches across two gold medal games, longing that began in childhood finally demands to be acknowledged. But gold doesn't make life simple. When the Games end, reality waits: • Media frenzy. • Headlines that write themselves. • Separate leagues. • Separate cities. • Careers that don't slow down for love. And for two people who have spent their lives chasing greatness, the question isn't whether they can win. It's whether they can choose each other without losing themselves. Because some rivalries are built on competition. And some love stories are built on the same word that started everything: Again.

Scarlett Sovanna doesn't have time for nonsense-especially not the kind that wears a backwards cap and throws parties on Tuesday nights. As a dedicated ballerina at a top-tier arts college, her world revolves around perfect pirouettes, brutal rehearsals, and keeping her spot in the program. There's no room for distractions. Especially not him. Elliot Sinclair is college royalty-the star quarterback with a devil-may-care attitude and a line of admirers trailing behind him. He lives for the game, the thrill, and the spotlight. He and Scarlett couldn't be more different... except for one inconvenient truth: their families are practically intertwined. When Scarlett's dorm situation turns into a nightmare, the Sinclairs offer Elliot's guest room to her. Sharing a space with the person she finds most insufferable on campus? Not ideal. But as the walls come down, so do their assumptions about each other. What starts as chilly silence turns into heated banter. And somewhere between late-night talks and stolen glances, feelings develop. She's all discipline. He's all chaos. Together? They just might fall into something real.

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.
