Toby Matthews knows somewhere deep down that his hockey career is over, but he's reluctant to admit it. Rather than announce his retirement, he's decided to buy a cabin in the mountains to try to shake his concussion symptoms so he can think clearly about the decision. He's hoping the isolation and tranquility of the remote cabin will offer some perspective on life he can't find back in the city.
What he didn't expect to find up in the Adirondacks was Meredith. With a baby on the way and a rambunctious five-year-old to look after, Meredith doesn't have time to worry about her new neighbor. When near disaster strikes Meredith and the baby, Toby steps up to the plate to make sure the single mom isn't battling the world on her own.
Neither one of them are looking for partners in life, but there's a good chance they are exactly what each other needs.
New book, so ignore the general crazy issues that come along with a first draft :)

Christmas at the Cabin | ONC 2023 (Complete)
Determined and quick thinking, Amelia Conti is okay on her own. She's also an expert in outdoor sports. So when her boss offers her the winter hike of a lifetime, she says yes even before she knows who she'll be guiding. Or how much it will pay. If she'd taken the time to research the man who bought the last-minute premium tour, a demanding CEO named Damien Serrano, she might have reconsidered her answer. Well, maybe not. It is an absurd amount of money. He's grumpy to her sunshine, Christmas-lover to her Christmas dread, and the kind of man used to getting what he wants. Arrogance might work in a boardroom, but on the side of a mountain in the middle of winter, it's a hazard. If Damien can't learn to relinquish some control, they might not make it to the end of the hike alive. But everything comes to a head when an unexpected weather event pushes them even closer together. Water meets fire and something has to give. The question is, who will bend first? ~ * ~ * ~ This is one of the novellas I'm writing for ONC 2023. You can find the rest on my profile! This story is based primarily on prompt 13. "You were at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and now you are running for your life!"Complet
Dreaming Of More Than Just A White Christmas {Phan} (Book Four)
READ "HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS," "CHRISTMAS IN JULY," AND "UNDERNEATH THE MISTLETOE" BEFORE YOU READ THIS Eleven months. That's how long it's been since Dan and Phil made the decision to give Ellie away to another family rather than adopt her themselves. During those eleven months, everything has fallen apart one after another. Phil is rarely ever home for an extended amount of time, leaving Dan depressed because of it. Along with that, both of them feel heavy regret about giving Ellie away. Not a day goes by where the few memories they made with her race through their minds, not a day goes by where those blonde curls and that bright smile don't haunt their memories, and not a day goes by where they both wish that they could go back in time and make things right. Needless to say, Dan and Phil's marriage is another thing that is in turmoil. Countless verbal fights, disagreements over insignificant things that turned into fights, and even one incident that one nearly struck the other have put quite a strain on their marriage, and every single day, divorce becomes even more imminent. After all, could you even call two people married if they haven't slept in the same bed, hugged, kissed, and even held hands in months? Then, one night, while Phil is yet again not home, Dan decides that he's had enough. Packing up his things and journeying into the London winter cold with the goal of never stopping traveling around until he finds Ellie in order to beg for forgiveness, even though he knows that neither he nor Phil deserve it, and get her back once and for all, the British native only takes a suitcase's worth of stuff and leaves everything else behind, even his wedding ring. However, as Dan is about to find out, sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side.Complet
Sunsets and Second chances (a short Tayvis Story)
**Summary:** Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have known each other their entire lives. Travis, Austin's best friend and Taylor's older brother, spent much of his childhood at their house, playing football in their backyard and raiding their fridge without hesitation. But for Taylor, Travis was always just the loud, annoying best friend of her brother-essentially the big brother she never asked for. Between sarcastic jabs and irritated glances, their relationship never progressed beyond mutual tolerance. However, this year, both families decide to rent a house together for a vacation at a picturesque lakeside cabin. The days are filled with barbecues, fishing trips, and afternoons on the water. Trapped under the same roof for two weeks, Taylor and Travis have no choice but to put up with each other. But as the days go by, their dynamic begins to shift. One evening, by the campfire, Travis surprises Taylor by quoting a book she thought he'd never read. Later, she begins to see a vulnerability in him that he hides behind humor and confidence. On the other hand, Travis realizes that Taylor, far from being the annoying little sister he once thought she was, is stronger, smarter, and more charming than he ever imagined. Through kayaking excursions, impromptu water fights, and a ridiculous bet that forces them to spend an entire day helping each other, the two start seeing one another in a new light. But as they grow closer, their family-especially Austin-starts to notice the lingering looks and shared laughter. The vacation then becomes a real test: Taylor and Travis must decide if they're willing to risk their family dynamics and childhood friendship to explore this unexpected connection. **"Sunsets and Second Chances"** is a bittersweet romance, full of childhood memories, unexpected discoveries, and a love blossoming by a lake where anything seems possible.Complet

Winter Camp
Seventeen year old Liana is in utter repulsion about having to spend winter break on the ski slopes of the Swiss Alps with her school. What could be worse than being stuck with Katelyn, the school bitch, for a week? Freezing her ass off on the top of a mountain isn't what Liana would count as a holiday, but Liana knows well enough that she should count any time that isn't spent in her hellish home as a well deserved break. Everyone knows the story of Liana's home life and how much a break away from it means to her, even if it is in the one place she doesn't want to be. Everyone except Olly. Cushioned at home until he was eighteen, Olly finally took flight across the Atlantic and ended up travelling the world. Now twenty one, he finds himself struggling to settle down, so maybe a work placement at Fort Fun will give him the time he needs to figure out his life... He certainly didn't plan on life getting even more confusing than it already was. Two polar opposites from different ends of the world and living totally different lives get drawn together when a week at Fort Fun turns into a roller coaster that neither of them could have ever imagined.Complet
Crushing on the Captain
Eve Kingston is sick of being pushed around by hockey. Her entire life, the spotlight has been on her older brothers. She adores Nick and Logan, but she's been fighting hockey practices, tournaments, and games since she was a toddler. Not to mention all of their accomplishments, awards, exam scores, and achievements that she could never seem to earn. Now that she's all grown-up, she wants nothing to do with hockey (other than going to a couple of Logan's games every year). So far, she's avoided hockey pretty well. She's a first grade teacher, living in a tiny, cramped apartment with a kitchen older than her parents. Everything is going smoothly. Except when she's at the educator convention of the year, Eve ends up trapped in Seattle due to a snowstorm. Worse, she runs into Graham Everett, Logan's teammate and captain. Also the guy she's been crushing on for years, but that's not important. Suddenly hockey looks a lot harder to stay away from if it involves Graham. Especially since he's just as sweet, and kind, and adorable as she's ever imagined. Logan seems to be interfering as well, naming Graham the best man at his wedding while Eve is the maid of honor. Eve just wants to have her brothers back, like when they were kids and everything was easy. But if she happens to find love along the way, it might be with the man of her dreams. This is the sequel to Full Strength, but it totally can be read as a standalone! This is a closed door/clean romance, but there maybe be some more heated moments in the story.
