Ryan wasn't expecting to end up with the captain of the hockey team as a roommate, and she certainly didn't expect the initial sexual tension between them to blossom into love. ***** In desperate need of a place to stay, Ryan Winters doesn't see an issue with rooming with the captain of the hockey team, Ethan Russell. After all, she's focused on her studies, getting over an ex, and honestly, not that into athletes. Though the more time she spends getting to know her new roommate, the more it becomes apparent that Ethan is the exact type of guy she could fall for. When lines begin to blur and drama from the past threatens to tear them apart, can the two of them find a way to keep both their friendship-and their relationship-from crumbling to pieces? [[word count: 90,000-100,000 words]] Cover designed by April Alforque

When photography student, Willow Kennedy, gets offered an internship with her college's renowned ice hockey team, The Michigan Wolverines, she anticipates three things: 1) Her twin brother being an unbearable and over-protective nightmare. 2) Her photographs not making any real impact whatsoever. 3) The team completely shutting out the curly-haired girl pointing a camera in their faces. What Willow didn't take into account, however, was the Wolverine's team captain. Rumoured NHL first draft pick, dreamboat and total game changer- Tate Wilder. With his infectious dimpled smile, sparkling green eyes and addictive personality, Tate quickly turns Willow's internship into a life-changing and eye-opening experience- one filled with love, friendship and opportunities. Willow didn't meet the Michigan Wolverines looking for love, and funnily enough neither did Tate, but love soon found them. ********* "Pretty please?" Her lip juts out in an irresistible pout and you'd almost think she was a sweet innocent flower judging by the puppy dog eyes she's flashing me. But that image is little tarnished by the hand she has dipped into my boxers. I can feel my Adams apple bob as I reply. "O-okay. Fine, you win this time." The smile I get in response is absolutely blinding. A full, mega-watt grin with teeth, crinkled eyes and blush on the apples of her cheek. I'll let her win everything if I get that fucking smile in return.

COMPLETED BRYNN DANVERS' main goal was to leave Miami. She never thought she'd find herself going to college in Oak Hill - her last choice. Brynn starts her senior year with only one promise to herself. She's going to have the absolute time of her life and be the happiest version of herself. But of course, there will always be that one thing that pulls her back. That one thing she doesn't think she's fully ready to let go of yet. CGC SCOTT is going into his senior year just like he went into his freshman, sophomore, and junior year. He's going to have the best time of his life alongside his best friends, sleep with a couple of pretty brunettes along the way, and play an amazing football season. Being captain this year will come with a lot more responsibility than he's ever had, but he's ready to accept the captain title and wear it proudly. His main goal? Win. A. National. Championship. Although Brynn isn't Cgc's typical type, he's attracted to her from the minute he sees her. He's looking for a simple hookup, not a relationship. Brynn is looking for none of the above. Even when she can't seem to take the hint that he's into her, Cgc sticks around for the chase. Will Brynn ever give in and sleep with Oak Hill's QB 1? Or will Cgc give up on his initial plan - wanting to only hook up with her - first and end up doing something he's never done before: fall in love. Last book in the Oak Hill U Series. Can be read as a stand-alone.
