[Now on Galatea]
Harper Reid knows the rules: stay professional, keep boundaries, and never get involved with a player. But Wes Carter, Briar University's NHL-bound star forward, doesn't play by the rules-on or off the ice.
When a devastating injury forces them together, the lines between professional and personal begin to blur. Harper sees past Wes's reckless defiance to the fear of failure driving him, while he uncovers the battles she fights to prove she's more than just the coach's daughter.
As their attraction grows, so does the danger. Crossing this line could cost Harper her career, Wes his NHL dreams, and the team their championship hopes.
But sometimes, the greatest victories come from breaking the rules you were meant to follow.
The riskiest moves happen off the ice.

Between Love & Lies
Bria Smith's life collapsed the moment her father died. Her mother married her boss, and just like that, Bria was thrown into a life of privilege she never wanted-and a college she hadn't earned, courtesy of her new stepfather. She planned to keep her head down at Harvard Business University, but fate had other ideas... Elijah Park. Her step-uncle. Her professor. The man she's not allowed to want-but can't stop thinking about. He's older, sharper, dangerous in a way that feels like a warning and a promise all at once. And he sees right through her-her grief, her anger, her desire. One look and she's undone. One touch and she's his. This isn't just love. It's temptation, secrets, and a choice that could ruin them both. Because some lies keep you safe... and some loves are worth breaking every rule for. ~
