MOONDUST by JaneNola

COMPLETED - It's puck at first sight for Jules Martin, when his gaze falls on Luna Larsson at his first College ice hockey game with a new team. The disappointment is real when the icy blonde with an attitude turns out to be his new arch enemy's girlfriend. It's worse when that enemy is his own Captain and a more than toxic boyfriend to the girl he is falling for, hard. When the love at first sight bullshit is established to be mutual, things are bound to get complicated for the both of them. They can't explain why they're drawn to each far worse than magnets. However what they do know, is that whatever it is they feel... it's too extraordinary to deny. Can even the nightmare of all secrets, keep them connected? Or will they lose all they love in this world. Their moon in a sky of stars. 🌙 She wanted to live without regrets, and he didn't want to be one of them.

Penalty Kill [NY Hockey #1] by katrinarust

[actively editing] With her nose in books and his brawn getting him nowhere on or off the ice, they find themselves drawn together, sharing their baggage and learning what it might mean for each of them to love again. Jake Bryers is no stranger to the pressures of being a professional hockey player. It's something that he's dealt with consistently for the past fifteen years. Throughout his career, he's experienced it all-the electric thrill of winning divisions and conference titles, and even making it to the Stanley Cup Finals on more than one occasion. His dream was always to skate the cup at least once, but as he enters the late stage of his long, tumultuous career, he finds himself struggling to perform like he once had as a younger, inspired player. Harper Clark has been proficient at one thing throughout her life-constantly moving forward without really going anywhere. After having moved to the Big Apple to pursue a better life outside of the dangerous one she found herself leading in the Midwest, she finds herself stagnating after getting her degree from Columbia. She quietly enjoys her job at the public library, treading water while the undeniable feeling of discontent grows stronger within her. It's nothing short of fate when Jake and Harper happen to cross paths at the library, and though their lives couldn't be any more different, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another as they try to navigate mending each other's wounded hearts.
