Fighting Talk
{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.

Figurine
She swore she'd never skate again, but the ice has a way of pulling you back-especially when the town's hockey star is watching. When Calliope Brooks loses her mother, her life is turned upside down. Forced to leave behind the familiarity of her old world, she moves to the small town of Lakehurst to live with her estranged father, the coach of the local boys' hockey team, the Lakehurst Sirens. Once a promising figure skater, Calliope has sworn off the ice-until a chance encounter with Grayson Maverick, the Sirens' star player and school heartthrob, ignites something she thought she'd lost. As Calliope finds herself drawn back to the rink, she's thrust into the chaotic, competitive world of hockey. Navigating budding friendships, lingering grief, and her growing feelings for Grayson, Calliope discovers that sometimes the only way to move forward is to embrace what makes you whole-on and off the ice. But as she steps into a role no one expected, Calliope must prove she has what it takes to be more than a fragile figurine-and face the pressures of skating with, and against, the boys who dominate the game. #1 icehockey (19th May 2025) #1 hockey (13th April 2025) #1 figureskating (20th April 2025) #1 coachesdaughter (20th April 2025) #2 greif (20th April 2025)Complete

Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem.
