Title: The Hockey Player Written by Ily Calhoun WP In the heart of winter, where ice glistens under stadium lights and snow falls like whispered secrets and love finds its way onto the rink. He's the school's star hockey player a quiet, intense Korean boy with sharp eyes and a reputation for being untouchable. On the ice, he's fearless. Fast. Controlled. Every movement precise. Off the ice, he keeps to himself, hiding behind cold stares and short answers, as if letting someone close would shatter the focus he worked so hard to build. To everyone else, he's just the hockey player But to her, he becomes something more. Their worlds collide unexpectedly maybe through a tutoring session, a shared class project, or a chance meeting after one of his games She sees past the fame, past the crowd chanting his name. She notices the way his hands shake slightly after a tough loss, the way he lingers in the snow a little longer than necessary, as if the cold helps him think As they grow closer, she discovers the pressure he carries expectations from family, the weight of being the best, and the fear of failing both on the ice and in his heart He's spent his whole life perfecting his defense but love isn't something he can block Through late night phone calls, secret rink visits and soft confessions under falling snow, their relationship blossoms into something warm against the freezing world around them He learns that vulnerability doesn't make him weak She learns that the strongest hearts are often the most guarded And in the end the hockey player who once only chased pucks across ice begins chasing something far more terrifying and far more beautiful,Her. ❄️💙

Mia never planned on falling for a hockey player. She just happened to know his jersey number first. Loud, outgoing, and a little too observant for her own good, Mia has been watching Carter from the stands long before he notices her back. When they finally meet at the rink, the chemistry is instant: easy laughs, late-night hangouts, and a spark that turns into something real faster than either of them expected. Carter is charming, funny, and skating toward a pro career sooner than anyone realizes, including Mia. He doesn't lie. He just doesn't say the one thing that matters. And Mia, knowing his reputation and afraid of asking for too much, lets herself fall anyway. Somewhere between shared fires, stolen moments, and a drunken hayride, they cross the line from casual to complicated. When the truth finally comes out, Mia has to decide if loving him was worth being the last to know, and Carter has to learn that choosing someone means trusting them with the whole story. Because falling is easy. Staying takes honesty.

Mia is known for always following the rules. She's a top student, a good daughter, and someone who only wants one thing-to make her father proud and prove she's just as capable as her brother. She has her life planned out, and love was never part of it... until it happens when she least expects it. Jeremy Preston, the university's basketball captain, has always loved the game. It's his passion and his escape, even if his father thinks it's just a waste of time and wants him to take over the family business instead. Jeremy is confident and determined, but everything starts to change when he meets Mia. They didn't plan to meet. It just happened. What starts as something simple turns into something deeper-something neither of them expected. As Mia tries to stay on the path she chose, and Jeremy fights for what he truly wants, they both begin to realize that not everything in life can be controlled. Sometimes, love comes at the wrong time... or maybe at the perfect time. And sometimes, the person meant for you becomes accidentally yours.

Caleb Grimaldi is addicted to porn and no one knows. What started as escape has become a compulsive cycle he can't break. In front of the world, he's the golden arm of BBU baseball and the undisputed frat king of Delta Sigma, but behind closed doors, he's unraveling. Until she shows up. Brianna Pruitt is perfection incarnate-perfect hair, perfect makeup, perfect outfits. She never lets anyone see her without armor. Ever. A last-minute housing error throws her into her worst nightmare: living in the Delta Sig fraternity house, surrounded by baseball players. And worst of all-Caleb Grimaldi, the dangerously magnetic pitcher across the hall. Brianna was never supposed to see him this close. And Caleb was never supposed to feel seen at all. But Brianna isn't the only girl tied to Caleb's life. Ayla Hurst has been woven into Caleb's world for as long as either of them can remember. Their bond is intense, complicated, and built on years of shared secrets no one else knows. One girl represents his past. One girl threatens his future. As Caleb's addiction tightens its grip and the lines between desire, intimacy, and escape blur, he's forced to confront a question he's avoiding: Will he choose the girl who's always been there... or the girl who sees right through him? ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎ ⚾︎
