Nik is a professional Hockey player born and raised in Seattle, Washington. He's close with his younger sister, a great friend, but a horrible boyfriend- according to his most recent ex. 
Lilia is new to town. She just moved into a lakefront neighborhood surrounded by trees and friendly neighbors. Lilia becomes fast friends with her nearest neighbors, a young couple with two adorable children. 
Nik and Lilia meet at a friendly gathering where instant sparks fly. Lilia is warned against pursing anything with Nik, and Nik is told to stay away from Lilia. Both concede and agree to be just friends. 
On a group trip to Italy, Nik and Lilia decide to give into temptation- just this once. 
Will the pair be able to stick to their agreement?

The Goalie's Good Luck Charm by still_just_me
43 parts Complete Mature
After a one-night stand flips a grumpy hockey goalie's bad luck, he pursues his team's new dental assistant to rebound his abysmal season. One night, fake names, and no strings. Just a reckless escape from the numbers that dictate my life. Now, he thinks I'm his lucky charm. Transplanted to San Francisco, I'm free to steer my life's ship. But with Type 1 Diabetes, every day is a new challenge for normalcy, and a year of sleeping on my sister's boyfriend's couch, cleaning kids' teeth, is not living. One last bite tips me over the edge. I don't want a plan. I want a distraction. Enter the broody, stranger at a hotel fundraiser-the perfect one-night release until morning comes, and I flee in panic. Forgetting him is challenging, but my luck turns when I land a specialist dentist's assistant job. It's for the San Francisco Bears, a pro hockey team, where, unfortunately, my steamy one-night stand is the team's notoriously grumpy goalie. He's in the middle of a career-ending slump, and his sexist coach is looking for any reason to fire the "distraction" in the dental office. I need this job to survive. To afford life-saving medicine. Connor needs me to win. He's convinced that our night broke his losing streak. Now, he's haunting my dental chair, insisting I'm some key to turn his season around. He's stubborn, obsessive, and looks way too good in a jersey. But the Coach and GM are watching. If our secret gets out, my new life will be the next thing to crash and burn. I have to prove that luck has nothing to do with it... before I lose my job, my health, and the one man I was never supposed to see again. 18 + for explicit sexual content #1 sports, #1 spicy Story is complete.
