Ellie Beckinger had spent the better part of her summer pretending she didn't care that her dad had taken the head coaching job for the Montreal Canadiens.
Cole Caufield has never had a problem getting what he wants-on or off the ice. As one of the Canadiens' biggest stars, he's got the skill, the charm, and the reputation to match.
When Cole and Ellie cross paths, it's anything but a storybook meeting. She sees right through his easy confidence, and he's never met someone so unimpressed by him. But the more she pushes him away, the more he wants to break down her walls.
She's convinced she knows his type.
He's determined to prove her wrong.

CLAIMING HUGHES - Quinn Hughes
Book 2 of the Quinn Hughes Series __________________________________ "You chose him. You always choose him." Those words shattered what was left of Eleanor Klein's world. Four years later, the pieces still haven't fit back together - and neither have the Kleins and the Hughes. But life has a funny way of forcing reunions, especially when Quinn Hughes and Matthew Klein both find themselves drafted to the same NHL team: the Vancouver Canucks. Meanwhile, Jack Hughes is busy living the dream (and distracting himself with a new girlfriend), and Luke Hughes... well, he's mostly just along for the ride, armed with snacks and sarcasm. When Eleanor crosses paths with Quinn again, the years disappear - and so does all their carefully built distance. Old feelings crash into new realities, and suddenly, "where the wind takes them" feels a lot more complicated than it sounds. There's chemistry, there's chaos, and there's definitely still heartbreak lingering under the surface. As Eleanor and Quinn figure out if the timing is finally right, Jack and Eleanor awkwardly rebuild the sibling-like bond they once had - because ignoring the past isn't an option anymore. Especially when your brother, and your not-so-secret crush all play for the same team. Love, hockey, and history collide in this funny, messy, and addictive second installment where sometimes the only way forward... is to finally claim what's been yours all along.
Blue Line Fever. Quinn Hughes
Quinn Hughes has the world watching him and no one actually seeing him. New captain of the Vancouver Canucks. Golden boy on the surface. But behind the press conferences and perfectly tailored suits is a man unraveling slowly, quietly. The kind of man who smiles like it hurts and doesn't let anyone close enough to see. Until her. She barely remember the night. But he's spent every night since remembering only her. Michigan. A country festival. She walked wearing denim shorts and a don't-fuck-with-me smile, smelling spicy. She didn't give him her name. She barely gave him a second look. But Quinn? He's been building fantasies around her ever since. All-consuming ones. Elizabeth Woods. Pediatric intern. Raised in the shadows of a mother who loved like a loaded gun. She's gentle in a way that feels dangerous, like she's trying to undo years of damage with one soft look and steady hands. She's the kind of woman who tucks blankets around strangers but doesn't flinch when someone screams. She's standing across from him, stunned, breathless, just as fucking shocked. Because this city's too big. Too full. And still, somehow they found each other again. She thought he was a bartender. A finance guy. A pretty face with a sharp jaw and nothing behind the eyes. She had no idea he was him. The name on every screen. The jersey hanging in every bar. And now he's in her orbit again, asking questions with his eyes, tugging at threads she's spent years trying to stitch shut. She carries her past like a diagnosis, incurable. And Quinn sees her. He wants her in a way that has nothing to do with love. This is concussion-level craving. A full-body, penalty-box, scream-into-the-wall obsession. She's the one thing that makes him forget the rules. But the closer he gets, the more the past starts bleeding into the present. She's not just a girl he can't forget. She's the trigger to everything he's spent years burying. "You don't even remember me." "Bullshit. You ruined me."
Crossing Lines
Charlotte Evans came to Vancouver for a fresh start - a new city, new career, and a chance to outrun the shadows of the past that nearly broke her. Her only rule? No hockey players. Not after the accident that took her ex's life, shattered her reputation, and made her the girl her hometown loves to blame. But she unknownlingly moved in across the hall from Quinn Hughes - captain of the Canucks and Canada's most beloved hockey prodigy - her carefully built walls begin to crack. Focused, soft-spoken, and maddeningly kind, Quinn is everything she swore she'd avoid... and everything her heart starts to want. He's at the peak of his career, with no time for distractions. She's spent years building armor she swore no man would ever get through. But as sparks fly, tempers clash, and a magnetic tension simmers just beneath the surface, niether can deny the pull between them. When unspoken attraction turns into something deeper, and a painful secret threatens to resurface, Charlotte and Quinn will have to decide whether some lines are meant to be crossed - or if the past will always be one game they can't win.Complete

OFF THE BOARDS, L.H
SYDNEY is a figure skater who's all about that Olympic dream. She's got tunnel vision when it comes to her goals-no partying, no boys, just ice and grit. But if there's one thing she can't stand, it's the cocky hockey players who think they own the rink. Especially Luke Hughes, the campus golden boy who acts like he's too cool to care about anything that doesn't involve a puck. Luke's the type of guy who gets whatever he wants-girls, attention, a free pass to do whatever the hell he feels like. He's tall, hot as hell, and so confident it's annoying. But he's also carrying a load of pressure no one knows about, and he's damn good at hiding it. Everyone thinks he's the guy with no worries, but the truth is, he's cracking under the weight of living up to his brothers' NHL legacy. That's why Sydney hates him. They're supposed to hate each other, but the tension between them is so thick you could cut it with a skate blade. And once that tension snaps, all bets are off. It's dirty, it's raw, and it's nothing like either of them expected. They can't keep their hands off each other, but when the dust settles, they're both left wondering if this is just a fling or something that's gonna fuck up everything they've worked for.Complete
