#1 in Marriage of Convenience [July 2024]
"The fewer people that know the truth the better. And if this all goes smoothly, you two will be able to get divorced before the hockey season ends."

 "I have the places where you both will sign," His eyes lifted and scanned both of us. "But only of course, if you both agree to this."

"I'll do it," I said honestly. 

Minnow sighed outwardly and bit her bottom lip.

"If you need more time-"

"No," she swallowed, staring at the thick packet in front of us.

"I feel like this goes without saying but...no sex. Of any kind. It only complicates things."

My cheeks flushed with heat, probably turning pink and Minnow choked.

"We won't..." I shook my head, clenching my jaw. Shivers crossed my back.

"You don't have to worry about that," Minnow said obviously. "Trust me."
*****************************************

Minnow Noel is known for two things: being a hot head and an amazing figure skater. Running from a dark relationship and a past version of herself, she ends up where her skating career all started.

Norwegian native Søren Skejeggstad's only focus in life is hockey. With no time for women or a personal life, his only goal is to become the top NHL all-star. But when a major problem arises, he's at risk of losing his dreams if he doesn't figure something out.

They were once friends in a past life but now things are cold as ice between them. Just the thought of Søren alone makes Minnow's blood run cold and he'd rather avoid her at all costs.

But now an opportunity presents itself and wait...can they get along for a little while or will they end up killing each other before their agreement is through?

"What are we doing Alex?" He breathes against my lips. That's too sensible of a question, so I ignore it. My brain has yet to return to my body, and right now that is the last thing I'm worried about. "Stay." I whisper against his mouth, my words flowing without any thought. "Stay?" He sits up fully, which results in me straddling him. His expression is full of curiosity and mild shock. "Like stay stay?" I don't respond with words. I'm afraid if I open my mouth, I'll start to overthink and I can't afford that. Instead, I pull my shirt over my head. I do it confidently, in spite of my boldness starting to dissipate as the seconds pass. Ryan swallows. His eyes trail down to my breasts, before he looks at me again with a look I can't name. "Are you sure?" He stares into me. "Promise me you're sure." "I'm sure." I tell him softly. "I promise." ******* ALEXANDRA MONET is a twenty two year old girl, freshly out of college. After landing her dream job working for top fashion designer Adrienne Walker, she moves from a small town in Florida, to the boisterous city of New York. Since before she moved, Alex mapped out a clear plan for the direction of her life. None of which could prepare her for RYAN RUSSO...the snarky, sarcastic boy who she'll soon find herself thinking about constantly. As much as the two think they can't stand each other, there's an underlying attraction that eventually grows too strong for either them to bare. So they make an agreement... An agreement that is supposed to be void of any and all feelings, but over time it becomes a lot harder than expected. It's supposed to mean nothing. Less than nothing, but unfortunately some things just don't go as planned. Warning: Mature scenes and language.

Kiss My Ice by Love_IsEndless

A competitive figure skater is forced to trade places with a rival hockey player in order to avoid being kicked out of the rink. Blurb- "I see you have met Aiden," Mr. Hansen said to me, popping his head over the railing from the the top of the bleachers. He looked quite ecstatic that Aiden and I were already talking. "If you don't already know, Zoe, Aiden is going to be joining the hockey team starting effective next week with the new sponsorship." I forced a fake smile onto my face, gritting my teeth. "How did we get so lucky?" I turned my attention back onto Aiden, quirking an eyebrow as I looked him over- just trying to get an input of who this guy was. The man was stupidly handsome - if you managed to get past the oversized ego that sat on his shoulders. "Enjoying the view?" His sexist comment snapped me back into reality, resulting in me letting out a not-so-ladylike snort. "Please, the only reason I have to look at you is to try and figure out just what it is exactly that would make you so smug, but as far as I can tell, you have absolutely nothing going for you." Despite my effort to get a response out of him, he smirked as if accepting the challenge. "Besides the fact I am the number one center in the state of Massachusetts?" "Am? Don't you mean was? Now was looks bad on a resume." Aiden's jaw clenched, and in that moment I would have been dead if looks could kill. I was pretty sure that if it'd been legal for him to hit a girl, he would have already been on the ice by now. But it wasn't, and I'd clearly just won. I felt quite satisfied with myself and decided it'd be fun to rub some salt in his freshly wounded ego. I turned and sprinted across the ice before looking back over my shoulder and blew him a fake kiss, lifted my left leg up, and smacked my butt in a sense to let him know that he can just kiss my ass before I'd let him take over this rink.

Mitchell's Power Play by BlueEyedSwede
49 parts Complete Mature
I had been second best all my life. But this time, when it comes to her, I'm not willing to accept defeat. I'll do whatever it takes to get her to choose me. *** Having a best friend that was wildly popular, and one of the best hockey players in the United American Hockey League, was both a curse and a blessing. On the plus side, I got to play hockey with my best friend, and there was never a shortage of beautiful girls. At least there wasn't until Nash decided to man up and tell his childhood friend that he'd always loved her. The bad part was that I usually ended up being second best. In my late teens and early twenties I hadn't cared that I wasn't picked in the first round of the draft, or that sponsors chose Nash ahead of me, or even if I ended up with a girl who didn't really want me for me. I made a nice living playing hockey. I had a few good friends and a nice place to live in the middle of Manhattan. Despite not being the best, I'd made most of my dreams come true and it was a far stretch from the lonely kid I'd been growing up in the rural Midwest. I was happy. I was content. Until her.... It's not like I didn't want what Nash had. I did. I do. Who doesn't want a happily ever after? It's just that I've never taken the risk and allowed a woman to see past my defenses before, to see the real me, with my baggage and all my insecurities... until now. As scary as that is in itself, what makes it complicated is that my new roommate, Jackson - who I offered my spare bedroom to a while back when he needed a place to stay - and Bryce - one of my friends and teammates- also seem to have an interest in her... the woman who has me questioning all my decisions. The thing is... I'm pretty sure I'm not willing to be a second choice this time around...

{18+] When a rival goalie gives Isla a wrong number, she has no idea she's texting her brother's teammate. ***** Isla Watson can't stand hockey players. Not that anybody knows that. To the outside world, she's a hockey aficionado, running a successful social media account that goes behind the scenes of the NHL's Saskatoon Storm. The only thing colder than her 'Isla on Ice' page is her relationship with her brother's teammate, who resents everything about social media. When a rival team's goalie gives Isla a deliberately wrong number, she finally has a chance to take a break from putting on a show for the camera and let someone see the real girl behind the screen. Seb Cooper has a reputation for dropping the gloves. His fight on the ice is only matched by his battle with his D-partner's gorgeous sister, who he's clashed with ever since they drunkenly hooked up three years ago. She's just another 'influencer' who prioritises internet clout over real connections. Fortunately, the girl on the other end of his phone is far more down to earth, and he can finally talk to someone without worrying about ulterior motives. When Isla is tasked with creating a video series about learning to skate, an injured Seb is assigned as her teacher. The only thing they can agree on is their burning mutual attraction that melts the ice. Little do they know, they've been anonymously texting each other for months. Hidden in those messages are lies, secrets, and vulnerabilities, and when their two worlds collide, Isla and Seb must decide which version is their reality.

"You can't be serious?" I stare at him in disbelief, blinking as I notice there isn't any sign of a lie. "Why would I marry you? I mean I see your benefits, there's nothing in it for me." "I have something you want, you know that. You're just to stubborn to realise it." He shrugs, slouching in his desk chair. "What do you have? A bad reputation?" "Money, you and I both know just how much you need it right now." He says, staring back at me but not in disbelief. He's fully serious about this. ------ Gianna Rose Rowell hasn't had the best start in life, by the looks of it, things aren't changing. She grew up poor, someone close to her is ill.

Aiden Bennett is privileged, he always has been. Unlike Gianna he has grown up with money. Unfortunately for his parents, he didn't want their lifestyle, which to them didn't matter. He inherited the company and had his side thing. Hockey. Put the pressure gets to him and he turns to other means to distract him. Marriage of convenience trope.
