Once hired for his first head coaching job, Nathan Peterson thought life would be easy; but after learning he would be coaching the heart and soul hockey team of Doncaster, Michigan it doesn't seem that clear. What he thinks will be a simple coaching job, soon turns to be something completely different.
He knows if he doesn't get the team to a state championship win, he and his family will be banished out of Doncaster by a mob. That is if he can even win over his team, his new co-workers, and get them a first seasonal game victory.
They say in high school, nothing ever last forever. But in today's society, nothing is forgotten. And in Doncaster, no memory ever dies. Nathan thought he was just coaching a hockey team but in reality unsurfaced the cruel reality of high school students who feel there's no way out. He watches people without a high school diploma struggle with drugs, sex, and violence.

Until the Final Whistle
All Characters in these stories have names of people I know ( this does not mean any of the couples are true ) There were two things Emma Reyes never messed around with: her GPA and a good game of hockey. Or soccer. Or really, any sport. At sixteen, she was the kind of girl teachers trusted, coaches praised, and classmates quietly admired from a distance. Nerdy enough to win every science fair, athletic enough to lead every team to finals. But for someone who always knew what to do and how to do it, Emma didn't expect her toughest assignment yet to come from the principal himself. "Find student coaches for our new kids' athletic program," he had said. It sounded easy. Fun, even. Until she realized one of those coaches had to be AJ Moreau - the best soccer player in the province, with a glare sharp enough to cut ice and an ego to match. The boy who didn't like her. At all. But what started as an awkward partnership on the soccer field might just turn into something Emma never planned for - not in her spreadsheets, not in her perfectly color-coded life, and definitely not in her heart.Complete
Breaking the ice
Book one in the Westbridge U series Eighteen-year-old Grace Carter has spent her life hiding from the truth of her broken home, enduring the cruelty of an alcoholic father in the small town of Willow Springs, Texas. Her only escapes are the books she reads and the cheerleading routines she uses to mask the scars of her reality. All she wants is a way out, a chance to live her life on her own terms. Enter Jaxon Reed-the charismatic, cocky captain of Westbridge University's hockey team. At 18, he's already a hockey prodigy, and everyone knows it. He's got everything-looks, talent, and the confidence that comes with it. But underneath the bravado, Jaxon carries a past that haunts him, one he's not ready to confront. When they're paired together for an English project, neither Grace nor Jaxon is thrilled. Grace sees Jaxon as just another entitled athlete, while Jaxon thinks Grace is too distant to care about. But as they spend more time together, something unexpected happens. Jaxon begins to notice Grace's hidden pain, the way she flinches at loud noises and keeps people at arm's length. Grace, in turn, starts to see the cracks in Jaxon's perfect exterior-his reliance on hockey as an escape from a past that refuses to let him go. What begins as forced proximity soon becomes something neither of them saw coming-an undeniable connection that neither of them is prepared for. As their secrets unravel, they'll discover that sometimes, the most broken people are the ones who heal each other.Complete
Forbidden Love
Soleil Dubois was the sweetest person you could ever meet. Her name meant 'sun' in French and that was exactly what she was. Sunshine. But don't let that sweet personality fool you because she was sarcastic and had the mouth of a sailor. Cursed like one too. She was still grieving from the loss of her mother, along with her older brother, Lucas who wasn't doing too well either, but they had decided that some things were meant to let go of, and their mother's death was one of those things. And in order for that to happen, they decided to sign up for an exchange program that would be happening in their rival school; NorthFields Academy. The school that most of their competitions were held against, but the biggest one was Football. Every semester, NorthFields Academy and SouthFields Academy played against eachother, and the one who got the most goals by the end of the year would win trophies, more fame and money. That's when Elias Morano came in. He was the captain of the football team of NorthFields Academy and despised Lucas with all his heart. Their feelings were mutual for eachother, but for some reason, his eyes were always on Soleil, the one girl that hated him as well. The one girl he couldn't have. Why her out of everyone? And feelings build up when Soleil goes to NorthFields Academy for a month and a half to complete the exchange program. What's worse is that those football games would be more often and both schools would be playing against eachother. The worst thing is that Elias and Soleil are assigned together for the program, meaning they have to spend more time together. Soleil soon realises that what she feels for Elias isn't hate, its something more than that. But she can't do anything, can she? He is her brother's rival after all.Complete

Beyond My Control
Luca Moretti was supposed to be a legend - until a career-ending injury turned the league's most feared forward into its coldest coach. Discipline is all he has left, and he wields it like a weapon. The players respect him. The press fears him. And behind closed doors, control isn't just his reputation - it's his release. Isola Ren never planned to come back to the sport that destroyed her family. But when she's hired as the team's new physical therapist, she finds herself face-to-face with the man whose name once filled her brother's stories. Luca Moretti. Arrogant. Commanding. Off-limits. Their first clash sparks more than anger. His warning is low and dangerous: "Careful, little girl. I break the ones who talk back." She should walk away. She doesn't. In a world where pain and passion skate the same thin ice, control becomes the most dangerous game of all. And when secrets from the past resurface, both will have to decide what they're willing to risk - for forgiveness, for obsession, and for something that feels a lot like love. A dark, age-gap hockey romance full of tension, obsession, and the kind of heat that burns slow and deep.Complete
