Luna Don't date a hockey player. Simple enough, right? Or at least, that's what I thought when I promised my father I would never date anyone from his team. Then I was assigned to tutor Vaughn Banks, LSU's broody and mysterious right winger. Vaughn is ultra-hot, ultra-tattooed-and ultra-forbidden. Problem is, he's also insanely funny, a secret softy, and the first guy who's been patient enough to break down the ten-foot walls around my heart. We tell everyone we're just friends, but we both know it's a lie. Between our stolen glances and secret sleepovers, it's only a matter of time before everyone else finds out, too. Vaughn When I learn that the gorgeous brunette I keep seeing around campus is Coach Ward's daughter, I make a point to stay away. Her father knows a few too many of my past sins, and the last thing he'd want is a guy with an arrest record dating his only daughter. My strategy works... until I start flunking calc, and Luna is assigned as my tutor. I sit across from her in the library three days per week, pretending I'm not falling for her like I've never fallen before. But when one moment of weakness changes everything, there's no more pretending-and there's no going back. Landing in the penalty box is the least of my worries. I have everything on the line, and this is a shot I can't afford to miss.

*Being Published in 2022* ❝You can't deny that you're attracted to me, Nyx. Instead of fighting it, let's see what happens,❞ he grumbled, hands roaming my body. His thumb brushed my bottom lip. ❝Open up for me, baby.❞ -------------------------------------------------------- Nyx just can't seem to escape her eternal night, the very darkness she was named after. She tries to play her cards right, however, the outcome is a paradox. Whilst she obtains the results she wanted, it comes at the expense of some of her relationships. Angry at the world, her hatred is ravenous for none other than Beckham Hunt, captain of the ice hockey team. Beckham loathes Nyx Taylor after what she's done, that much he is certain of. Nobody boils his blood as she does and when she's hired to assist his team during championship season, he discerns that there's more to her story than meets the eye. She was always the villain in his story. But, suddenly she's the plot twist he never saw coming. Each glare and scowl and insult piles up, put under tremendous pressure by their mutual hatred. Yet, peeking through their fury clouded vision, they find the centre of their relationship blazing. Like two rival stars gravitating towards each other, Nyx and Beckham can do nothing when the law of attraction forces them to accept that passion doesn't always mean hatred, but perhaps something more.
