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.

Christmas at the Cabin | ONC 2023 (Complete) by authorelizasolares

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!"

She gets by the next 9 months with the last of her cash she built up over the past few years in motels, shelters and food banks up until the day she gave birth to her beautiful baby girl. Knowing she wasn't able to provide for her child, she tried multiple adoption centres, baby units, care centres but found herself refusing every one. A 20 year old man lived his life care free, drinking with his friends, providing for himself with a well paid job and strolling through life like a walk in the park. But one thing he didn't plan for is opening his door in the morning to wails and screams coming from a carrier with a simple note saying "She's yours."

Accepting the Celly by author_brittneyclark

Alison doesn't like hockey. It isn't so much the sport itself that she doesn't like, but rather the people who play it. Growing up the daughter of a local hockey legend with a superstar brother who follows in their father's footsteps, hockey players are all she has ever been around. After a bad break-up with her brother's ex-teammate, she swore off all hockey players for life. She is sick of hockey, sick of the players, and sick of Maukingnen Falls, but she can't seem to get away from any of it. Using her dad's connections in her career doesn't exactly help the situation, but she's determined to make a name for herself outside of the hockey world. If that means name dropping her famous family to get a few meetings so she can finally move out of her hometown and leave her reputation behind her, then she'll buckle up and deal with it. That is until she takes too much of an advantage dropping her last name and somehow ends up in the showers of her hometown's hockey team. Who catches her there? None other than the team's captain. Dylan Cavanaugh doesn't like his private life on display, but being the biggest player in hockey at his young age makes it hard to keep his private life private. Things blow up when his breakup with his Hollywood actress ex-girlfriend quite literally take over the town and he can't seem to escape the attention of every reporter and single woman he sees. When he finds out the real reason the woman he caught in the showers hates hockey, he makes a proposition that could benefit both of them. Now he's in a fake relationship to avoid having to continuously deny a real one because the girl he chose would never date another hockey player. The plan is flawless: fake a relationship to break away from her family name and save him from unwanted attention. This plan could get her out of Maukingnen Falls. It could get her family to respect her again. And it could get her toxic ex-boyfriend to finally leave her alone. What could possibly go wrong?

Winter Camp by Leonora13

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.
