SYDNEY is a figure skater who's all about that Olympic dream. She's got tunnel vision when it comes to her goals-no partying, no boys, just ice and grit. But if there's one thing she can't stand, it's the cocky hockey players who think they own the rink. Especially Luke Hughes, the campus golden boy who acts like he's too cool to care about anything that doesn't involve a puck. Luke's the type of guy who gets whatever he wants-girls, attention, a free pass to do whatever the hell he feels like. He's tall, hot as hell, and so confident it's annoying. But he's also carrying a load of pressure no one knows about, and he's damn good at hiding it. Everyone thinks he's the guy with no worries, but the truth is, he's cracking under the weight of living up to his brothers' NHL legacy. That's why Sydney hates him. They're supposed to hate each other, but the tension between them is so thick you could cut it with a skate blade. And once that tension snaps, all bets are off. It's dirty, it's raw, and it's nothing like either of them expected. They can't keep their hands off each other, but when the dust settles, they're both left wondering if this is just a fling or something that's gonna fuck up everything they've worked for.

Nova Rain Hughes has spent her entire life around hockey - it's in her blood, her name, and her family. Born June 9th, 2002, she's the younger sister of Quinn and Jack Hughes, and older than Luke. When she's drafted ninth overall by the New York Rangers in 2020, right after Alexis Lafrenière, Nova makes history as one of the few women to break into the NHL. She's tough, focused, and has one rule she never breaks: never date a hockey player. She's seen the drama, the egos, the chaos - and she's not about to become part of it. But then a certain 6'8" teammate joins the team, and everything she thought she knew starts to shift. He's charming, relentless, and has a way of making her defenses crumble - both on and off the ice. What happens when the girl who swore she'd never fall for a hockey player finds herself falling for one anyway? *I know the Rangers only had 2 picks first round but for the sake of this story let's just pretend they had 3*

Emery Blake has always been good at disappearing. To her classmates, she's just another quiet face in the hall. When she crosses paths with Cole Walter-enigmatic, reckless, and carrying more secrets than he lets anyone see-her carefully invisible world begins to unravel. Cole isn't the kind of boy you're supposed to notice. He's the kind people whisper about, the kind who pulls you into his gravity before you even realize you're falling. Emery knows better than to get involved, but something about him makes it impossible to look away. As hidden truths rise to the surface, Emery is forced to decide: will she keep hiding in the shadows where it's safe, or step into the storm of Cole's world-even if it means exposing the pieces of herself she's tried so hard to bury? A story of quiet strength, messy love, and finding light where no one looks.

. . . IN WHICH . . . things get a lot more difficult for Veronica Summerhill once Jackie Howard shows up in the little town of Silver Falls and threatens her 'friendship' with Cole Walter.

Margo Johnson is the savvy, quick-witted social media manager for the New Jersey Devils. Luke Hughes is the team's quiet, underrated defenseman-and her longtime college friend. They've shared years of inside jokes, late-night phone calls, and off-the-record interviews. But when a candid photo of them laughing goes viral, fans start shipping them hard. To feed the hype (and protect a few team headlines), they agree to fake date. But pretending is harder than they expected-especially when old feelings resurface and lines blur between curated moments and the real ones. From bus rides and hotel rooms to late-night talks and a snow-covered Diag in Michigan, Margo and Luke must navigate growing attention, genuine emotions, and what it means to fall in love under the spotlight... but off the record. A soft, slow-burn romance about missed chances, second glances, and loving someone when the cameras are both on and off.
