Emerson Carter has no patience for cocky hockey players, and unfortunately, she's stuck living with one. Logan Callahan is everything she swore to avoid-confident, easygoing, and way too comfortable in their shared apartment. She expects him to be just another arrogant athlete who leaves a trail of broken hearts, but instead, he's annoyingly kind, unexpectedly thoughtful, and completely unwilling to fight with her no matter how hard she pushes.
Logan doesn't do relationships. Not because he's a player, but because he knows they never work out for him. Hockey comes first, and keeping things casual has always been easier. Moving in with two journalism majors wasn't in his plans, but Emerson's sharp tongue and refusal to be impressed by him make life a hell of a lot more interesting.
They clash from the start-she thinks he's trouble, he thinks she's too stubborn for her own good. But somewhere between the sarcastic remarks, the stolen glances, and the late-night conversations they never meant to have, the lines between enemies, friends, and something more start to blur.
Logan doesn't do relationships. Emerson refuses to fall for someone who won't fight for her. But some things aren't so easy to control... and living together makes ignoring feelings impossible.
[18+] COLLEGE ICE HOCKEY ROMANCE
*~*~*
Conrad Taylor is an asshole - everyone knows that.
But when you're the star player of the hockey team, your father is one of the richest men in the country, and you have the looks of a tortured fallen angel, not many people seem to care. He certainly doesn't, not when he's too busy riding around with a visible chip on his shoulder.
And boy, are they nice shoulders.
*~*~*
Sophie Pritchett craves normalcy after a lifetime of self-imposed isolation. With her dad's support and her therapist's gentle encouragement, she finally feels ready to step out into the world - or at least into a shared off-campus apartment with a few strangers. Tentatively, of course.
Totally doable, right?
Only it's not that easy.
The girls aren't for the faint-hearted, and that's exactly what Sophie is. Her struggles with personal boundaries and social settings make it more than obvious that she's weird - and that's not including her strange obsession.
When the hockey team starts volunteering at the hospital where Sophie teaches art therapy, she suddenly has the perfect excuse to feed that obsession - one that just happens to have Conrad Taylor written all over it.
But when an unlikely friendship begins to form between Sophie, Conrad, and Casey - a witty little boy who's been dealt an unfair hand in life - Sophie learns there's a lot more hidden beneath the rude, sarcastic, and cold exterior of Conrad.
Maybe he's just a broken little boy with a heart that feels too much.
