Ivy Carson thought she was done with hockey. After walking away from the sport that once defined her, she's ready for a fresh start-majoring in sports management at Columbia University and moving in with her best friend, Luke Hughes. There's just one catch: Jack Hughes, Luke's older brother and the guy who's always been more than just a friend, also lives there.
Living under the same roof as Jack stirs up old emotions Ivy isn't sure she's ready to face, especially when their history is filled with heated arguments, undeniable tension, and moments that always felt like almost something. But as Ivy finds her footing-making a new friend in the city, settling into life with the Hughes family again-and getting back on the ice.
Torn between the life she's built and the one she left behind, Ivy struggles with whether she's ready to lace up her skates again. And when Jack's jealousy flares at her growing bond with someone new, tensions reach a breaking point-on and off the ice.
Second chances, late-night skates, and a love story that refuses to stay in the past-Against the Boards is a heartwarming and steamy romance about finding your way back home, in hockey and in love.

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

Quinn Hughes had his entire life perfectly mapped out. Then Jade walked in. Independent, hyper-efficient, and totally unimpressed by the NHL captain's charm, Jade is supposed to manage his chaotic schedule, not his personal life. But as late nights at the rink turn into shared secrets, the strict line between boss and assistant begins to blur. From damage-controlling media disasters to surviving skating sessions with his hockey-royalty family, navigating their undeniable spark is anything but easy. With the press watching his every move, Quinn has to decide if crossing the line with Jade is a professional hazard-or the best thing he never saw coming.Complete
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.

Logan is everything Grace has been warned about-charming, confident, and completely out of her league. But when an unexpected flip cup challenge turns into an undeniable connection, Grace starts to wonder if there's more to him than his reputation suggests. As the night unfolds, friendships are forged, bets are made, and sparks fly between Grace and Logan in a way neither of them expected.
