Tough Guy: an Autobiography
.............................................
Life isn't easy when you're the only girl out on the ice.
At seven years old, Amber Knight took to the ice as an amateur, hoping she would be good enough just to make the travel team.
She did.
And she's come way farther than that since then.
During day, she's the middle child of three.
But at night, she's a ice legend on her team, perhaps the best defense of her age.
This isn't just flashback to Amber Knight's past- it's how hockey motivates her to pursue playing professionally when she becomes an adult.
*This story is co-written by @estelle_katmore, so basically I gave her the words and she spun it into a story*

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.
