His eight figure salary and pretty green eyes are enough to make any woman's panties melt.
Any woman that isn't Monica Hill.
Despite her rewarding job, Monica Hill's salary seems minimal to Ruben's yet she doesn't care. Money has never meant much to her other than for survival, luxuries don't excite her and that's something that Ruben can't understand.
They're worlds apart and polar opposites. She's a driven neonatal surgeon whilst he's a world famous hockey player. But despite their differences, flames ignite when they touch and it doesn't take long for Ruben to become enthralled.
But the hockey lifestyle isn't easy and Monica has her doubts.
Ruben has a history..one Monica is afraid to figure out.
Can love simply be enough when it seems like the world is against you?

It wasn't supposed to be about working to survive, going hungry, and sleeping in my car. And it sure as hell wasn't supposed to be about dodging my icky exboyfriend while trying not to die from embarrassment when my roommates make my new crush public. But it is what it is, and I always find a way to get by. When I'm not working, I'm studying. That is, until the crush that's way out of my league starts paying me attention. Ethan: One last year of freedom. It cost my dad a summer of partying and a three million dollar car, but I'm back at college. I have one year to get as much partying and playing done as possible. This year is all about hockey and sex. I'll have plenty of time for boardroom meetings and forced golf outings after I graduate.

After all, she's focused on her studies, getting over an ex, and honestly, not that into athletes. Though the more time she spends getting to know her new roommate, the more it becomes apparent that Ethan is the exact type of guy she could fall for. When lines begin to blur and drama from the past threatens to tear them apart, can the two of them find a way to keep both their friendship-and their relationship-from crumbling to pieces?

Ice Me Out [SAMPLE]
**This is a sample of my ongoing story "Ice Me Out". The story continues on Inkitt! The link is in my bio!** Vera Gray is desperate when her father blindsides her with the news that he cannot make her upcoming tuition payment. She has only a week to come up with $25,000 for her tuition, or she will be forced to drop her courses. Just when all hope seems lost, her roommate and best friend, Monica, suggests she join a sugar baby site called Sugar Rush. Although Vera is initially repulsed by the idea of becoming a sugar baby, she sets aside her reservations with Monica's encouragement and decides to sign up for the app. Hart Myers, star forward for the Washington Wizards, may be smooth on the ice, but he struggles in his relationships with women. His demanding ice hockey career keeps him on the road for several months each year-not ideal for a man nicknamed 'Hartbreak,' who has difficulty with commitment. Despite this, Hart often feels lonely while traveling, especially when his teammates are with their partners. Seeking a connection without emotional ties, he joins Sugar Rush, hoping to find a stable situationship. When he discovers Vera's profile, he is intrigued. She appears confident and knows exactly what she wants: a sugar daddy who will leave his feelings behind and provide her with financial support. It doesn't take long for these opposites to attract, leading to broken rules as their steamy relationship becomes public. However, Vera soon learns that being a WAG isn't as glamorous as it seems. She faces challenges like jealous puck bunnies, relentless social media attention that threatens to expose her secret identity, shady teammates, and jealousy.
