When a scheduling conflict forces them to share more than just a rink, their rivalry quickly turns into something neither of them expected. But with Olympic dreams, family expectations, and the pressure of living up to impossible standards hanging over them both, falling for each other might be the biggest risk either of them has ever taken. For someone who's spent her entire life following the plan, Brooks Hayes is the one thing Vivian never saw coming. And he might just be exactly what she needs.

For Maya Young, college is about one thing: securing her future in sports medicine. Armed with a strict plan, a heavy pre-PT course load, and zero interest in the campus social scene, she is determined to stay completely invisible. It's a solid plan. Except for two massive secrets. First, the university's legendary hockey coach-a former NHL champion-is her dad. Maya grew up living and breathing the sport, but after a career-ending injury took her off the ice for good, she wants to earn her own way in the athletic department entirely on her own merits, not because of her famous last name. Second, she just accidentally showed her hand to Chase Carter. Chase is the charismatic captain of the hockey team, a projected first-round NHL draft pick, and the absolute center of attention on campus. When Maya lets slip a piece of brilliant, highly specific tactical advice while wrapping his ankles in the athletic clinic, Chase's curiosity is instantly piqued. He wants to know who this quiet, sarcasm-shielded girl really is. When a chaotic Friday night out leads to a fake-dating scheme to save Chase from overzealous fans, the lines between Maya's carefully separated lives begin to blur. Getting close to the team captain means risking her secrets, her reputation, and her heart. But in a world of high-stakes sports and intense campus spotlight, falling for the star player might just be the riskiest play of all.

And Emerson starts seeing the boy behind the captain's title. The only problem? Their relationship was built on a lie.

Daisy Williams has never had her "firsts". Not her first kiss, not her first date, not even a real male friend. Most of the time she tells herself it does not matter, that she is just moving at her own pace. But some days, it feels more like she is watching life happen for everyone else while she stands still. So she writes things down. Not because she thinks it will change anything, but because it makes it easier to admit what she is missing. A list of small of ordinary experiences she has somehow never had that she wants to accomplish before graduation, kept private in a notebook she does not expect anyone to ever read. Then Connor Reed finds it. He is not someone she would normally end up talking to, like ever. He's popular in a way that makes him feel out of reach, always surrounded by people, always moving through life like it is simple. Daisy assumes that will be the end of it when he hands the notebook back after class. Its not. Instead, he starts showing up in her life in a way she does not quite know how to deal with. Not loud and overwhelming like she would expect him to be, just consistent. Like he has decided helping her through her list as her wingman is the most normal thing in the world. What follows is something Daisy does not have a name for at first. Awkward conversations, an unexpected friendship, and small moments that feel far more significant than they should. And slowly, without her really noticing when it happens, she starts to question whether she has been looking at her life all wrong. Tropes: Slow burn romance, friends to lovers, opposites attract, college romance, sports romance, hockey romance, he falls first, coming of age, self discovery
