she was sent to write about Briar University's hockey team. he was the captain everyone already had a story about. - nora callahan was supposed to stay objective. garrett graham was never supposed to notice her. - but the problem with stories is this - "once you start writing them, they start writing you back." - this story is based on characters originally created by Elle Kennedy.

For a moment nobody spoke. Then Garrett stepped forward, without hesitation and without asking. He wrapped his arms around her while Dean joined a second later, various emotion written all over his face. And somehow that was all it took for the emotions she'd been holding back to come crashing down. A sob escaped her before another one slipped over her lips, her eyes beginning to get red. ______________________ For Averia, life had so far revolved solely around college assignments, her figure skating career, her best friends and a party here and there. At least, it hadn't revolved around two hockey players who had infiltraded into her life like silent storms. One with his charming smile and his perfect ability to listen to every word she spoke. One who made her feel seen. The other with his mischievous grin and his hands wandering all over her body. One who made her feel desired in a way no one had before.

He doesn't do girlfriends. Valerie Montgomery is exhausted. Exhausted of the cheating. The screaming matches. The humiliation. The revolving door relationship she can't seem to escape with Briar University football star Aaron Carter. So after one betrayal too many, Valerie decides she needs one thing: A distraction. Enter Garrett Graham. Briar U's hockey golden boy has rules when it comes to women, no attachments, no sleepovers, no feelings. With the pressure of being legendary hockey player Phill Graham's son crushing him from every angle, Garrett only has time for hockey and sex. Valerie should've been temporary. And Garrett should've been easy. But somewhere between late-night hookups, bruising chemistry, and the quiet moments neither of them were supposed to care about, lines begin to blur. Because the problem with pretending not to feel anything...is eventually, you do. And when toxic love comes back demanding another chance, Valerie is forced to decide what hurts more: Losing Aaron or risking Garrett.

A twenty-year-old sophomore at Briar University majoring in Criminal Psychology and Criminology. She had one goal, and one goal only. Graduate. Build the career she'd dreamed about since she was a little girl. Leave behind the town, the memories, and the ghosts that had followed her for far too long. No distractions. No heartbreak. Definitely no falling for her older brother's best friend. She'd spent years carefully building a life of her own. One lecture, one exam, one research proposal at a time. Independent. Ambitious. Determined. Until Dean Di Laurentis made forgetting him impossible. ᯓ★ 𝓓ean 𝓓i 𝓛aurentis. Golden Boy of Briar University's hockey team. Campus heartthrob. Professional flirt. The guy every girl wanted and every guy wanted to be. Dean lived for hockey, loud music, late nights, and making memories with his three best friends: Garrett, Logan, and Tucker. Life had always come easily to him. Until it didn't. Because sometimes the strongest people break the hardest. What happens when the one person you've been told is off limits becomes the only person who ever feels like home? When first love collides with impossible timing...when grief changes everything...and when loving someone means deciding whether to hold on...or let them go.

Astoria Smith transfers to Briar University hoping for a fresh start, but her life as a famous influencer and dancer quickly collides with chaos when she catches the attention of two Briar hockey stars, Dean Di Laurentis and Beau Maxwell. What starts as a night at a block party turns into a dangerous game of attraction, fame, and secrets she can't outrun.

Vanessa Rubio has more interest in a career-ending injury than she does in falling in love. At least your body gives you an explainable reason for slipping away, because she has learned the hard way that love does not. Unfortunately for her, Dean Di Laurentis was inevitable. With her father being the assistant coach of his hockey team, she sees enough of him as is. Of course it was going to be her turn to be on the receiving end of his oh-so charming smile one day. With an Olympic dream, she already had a lot stacked against her. The last thing she needed to add was 250 lbs of muscle in the form of a blonde hockey player- 350 lbs if you count the girl that was probably on top of him as we speak. But their frequent encounters and his persistence has her a little more invested than she originally intended... and now she's keeping secrets from her friends. Vanessa finds herself in an awkward position (literally and figuratively). Dean Di Laurentis finds himself with a crush (at least he thinks, he's new to this). But are they willing to abandon their old ways for a shot at love? The better question is, are they able to? s1-tbd

Josie Javadi used to be an athlete. She was an ex-athlete, if you will. And the girl had never felt more at peace since her career-ending injury. Garret Graham was, in every way, still an athlete. A collegiate one who'd already been pre-drafted to a notorious NHL team. And the boy had never felt so barren...as if his life wasn't his, but one lived in his father's image. What will happen when a healed soul meets one in desperate need of it?

A pop princess. A hockey legend. A Hollywood fiancé. One secret that never stayed buried.
